Fred cons her into thinking it was a dream. In the next scene, they're using a rope as a hoist to get the piano into the bedroom, which is now on the 'second floor'. This gives Fred a chance to drop the piano on Barney for a standard 'squashed flat' gag.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-56553935238448653492018-12-05T23:59:52.513-08:002018-12-05T23:59:52.513-08:00The bedroom that was not at ground level in one pa...The bedroom that was not at ground level in one part of the episode?

Then there were the Cave Kids, characters set in the same universe than the Flintstones but who never were animated, who starred in their own Gold Key comic, and whose names seem to follow the same pattern used in the early times of the Flintstones cartoons to christen stone-age people or objects: Sandy and Sally Stone, Sheepy Shale, Suzy Quartz, Buddy Boulder, Gipsy Crystal, Rocky Ranger (a masked do-gooder who rode on his Flap-o-saurus), Small Stuff and Izzy Einstone.Alfons Molinéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407271352079263161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-49555959072689493382018-12-01T17:30:20.690-08:002018-12-01T17:30:20.690-08:00Hoagy Carmichael guest-starred under his own name,...Hoagy Carmichael guest-starred under his own name, with no stone or rock variation.
