Wilma (Jean Vander Pyl) and Betty (Bea Benaderet) share equally the screen time with Fred (Alan Reed) and Barney (Mel Blanc) which is highly unusual for the series up to now. The lack of political correctness in classic TV is really glaring compared to today's TV.
Judo instructor Mr Hakimoto is hilariously done by Mel Blanc with heavy voice inflection stereotypes. The Flintstones and Rubble's all even do a buck teeth pose with their accents. You'd never see that today. Alan Reed does the voice of the dimwiited dolt prowler's voice. Alan Reed's repertoire of amazing voices is really showcased in the series as well as the other three main actors. Some great inconsistencies in the episode. Fred struggling to get in the Rubble's bedroom window needing a high ladder. Then later he hops right in to a much lower window. Barney's one sometimes two seater car is now a four-seater. Front doors to the Flintstones and Rubble's homes sometimes are there and sometimes our doorless.
