The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of two classic TV shows, The Honeymooners and The Flintstones. The Honeymooners was the template for the American sitcom in general, and The Flintstones in particular. We cover the beginnings of both shows, some of the casting choices, some of the influences (in both directions), and a bunch of stuff in between. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.
Come hang out with us! We may have finally come up with an alternative to our monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website
We're super excited to announce our partnership with ComicBooks For Kids. Details on the website (and you should be listening to hear more, too π)
