Fred's Insurance Policy

[Jimmy_the_Gent4 · 20 March 2022]

Fred thinks Wilma is planning to kill him for insurance money.

A very funny Season 3 episode. It begins with Fred lying on an application for a new job. Then Wilma comes up with the new insurance policy. She is also reading a book on a wife looking to bump off her husband for the insurance. Funniest scenes are ones with Rodney, an old boyfriend of Wilma's who is the knife thrower in a circus. Voiced by Howard Morris, he has a funny gasping laugh. There are also many talking animal appliances in this one for those who like that.

THE HITCHCOCK CONNECTION?

[tcchelsey · 10/10 · 25 May 2024]

Obviously a take-off on Hitchcock's "Dial M For Murder..." this is a whole lotta' fun. The stuff all us kids grew up on.

10 Stars.

It's the old "my wife is trying to kill me" routine, and that's exactly what Fred is thinking when Wilma slips him a new life insurance policy? Let's not forget her reading a book about a some lady who wants to kill her husband??

If a lot of these comic situations kind of sound like something from THE HONEYMOONERS, you are absolutely right. Herbert Finn wrote episodes for this cartoon series and for Jackie Gleason, also quite a few stories for GILLIGANS ISLAND.

I agree with Jimmy -- BEST part is when Wilma introduces her old boyfriend, Rodney, who happens to be a circus performer who throws knives???

Funny guy Howard Morris is the voice of Rodney, and is hilarious. The only debit is they should have had a gag appearance with a cartoon version of Alfred Hitchcock. Not to forget a previous episode where Hitch was Fred and Wilma's neighbor. Another Flintstone classic.

Best of SEASON 3 EPISODE 14. Remastered dvd box set. 4 dvds. Released 2006 and 2017.
