_The Flinstones_ was not really aimed at children. It was the first prime time animated series on U.S. television.

> \*\*There are, however, two bits of animation one seldom sees any more. One is the animated commercial which was often shown in the first season, in which Fred and Barney sneak out behind the garage to have a cigarette – a Winston, to be precise, since they were the show’s sponsor. This segment ends with Fred singing “Winston tastes good, like a (click-click) cigarette should!”… \*\*

[Here’s](http://www.tvparty.com/vault3/flintbig1.ram) a link to that very comercial…funny stuff.
