Often mislabeled as The Flintstones Meet the Jetsonsnote You can remember the correct title by remembering that "Meet the Flintstones" is the title of the Flintstones theme song., this was one of the films in the Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 series of made-for-TV movies produced for syndication in the late 1980s. It's a Crossover between The Flintstones and The Jetsons.In their respective times, Fred Flintstone and George Jetson are both experiencing troubles with their jobs - in Fred's case, he and Barney lose their job when they get caught at a poker game when they're supposed to be working the late shift, and George is being blamed by Mr. Spacely for the fact that Cogswell is stealing his company secrets (it's actually because Cogswell's new female computer, SARA, is seducing the secrets out of George's computer, RUDI). When Elroy builds a time machine, the Jetsons use it to escape their problems and end up in the Flintstones' time period. Fred attempts to use George's futuristic equipment to get his job back, but ultimately fails at that. Then, when Henry Orbit and Rosie construct a time machine retriever, they end up accidentally transporting the Flintstones and the Rubbles to the future instead. Back in the past, the Jetsons get rich thanks to George's anti-gravity flying belt, while Mr. Spacely makes Fred his new spokesman (only to have Cogswell steal this idea as well with Barney). Fred and Barney have another falling-out while the Jetsons soon find themselves missing their old life. Eventually, Rosie manages to find the Jetsons and bring them back, but the time machine breaks for good after that. Don't worry, the Flintstones and Rubbles do make it back to the past nevertheless. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Mainly the Jetsons' universe parodies of Dan Rather, Johnny Carson and Joan Rivers (the latter containing a brief Shout-Out to her short-lived talk show on the then-fledgling FOX network). There are also various references to Humphrey Bogart. | |

Chekhov's Boomerang | |
| The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones / int_21f3e32e | comment |
Chekhov's Boomerang: The Flintstone car. After being brought back to the future with the Jetsons and seemingly forgotten about, it later serves as inspiration for saving Spacely's company by mass-producing them as a collector's item. It then comes back for a second use at the very end; residual energy from being sent through time is present in it, and the Flintstones and Rubbles are able to use it to return to their own time. | |

Fish out of Temporal Water | |
| The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones / int_4acee1ed | comment |
Fish out of Temporal Water: As expected, the Flintstones and Rubbles struggle to adapt to the future at first, as do the Jetsons in the past once the former group is sent to the future. On the other hand, Fred seems to adjust well, as he reclines in a chair and is well-fed. | |

Bamboo Technology | |
| The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones / int_52748705 | comment |
Bamboo Technology: Expected for the Flintstones' side of the story, of course. Lampshaded by the Jetsons at several points in the film, commenting on the Flintstones' foot-powered automobiles and animal-powered appliances, as well as the Jetsons' initial difficulties in using both. Ironically, Bamboo Technology is what ultimately saves Spacely's company in the end (mass producing Fred's Stone Age car as a collectors' item). | |

Dress-O-Matic: When George is getting ready for work near the start of the movie, he gets into an auto-dresser. He says he needs to "be prepared", and comes out dressed like Rambo, which he decides is "too prepared" and goes back into the auto-dresser to try again. Jane states that if Mr. Spacely saw George in the Rambo outfit, he'd go bananas. George then steps out of the auto-dresser in a gorilla costume. | |

| The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones / int_ae3e8da3 | comment |
Broken Win/Loss Streak: In a company picnic... thing, Mr. Slate's always loses against his rival company. While Fred tries to use the Jetsons' technology to break the streak (extorting Mr. Slate for his and Barney's jobs back, plus other exorbitant demands, in the process), it is subverted by Dino and Astro messing up the final event. Played straight in that after winning several events in a row (with Fred handling one in his place) Slate ultimately loses the final one. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
| The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Pebbles (Fred and Wilma's daughter) and Bamm-Bamm (Barney and Betty's son) are neither seen nor mentioned throughout the movie. While the script doesn't give a definite reason, most fans assume one of two things: 1.) The Jetsons have traveled back far enough in time to where Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm haven't been born yet. 2.) Given that many of the Flintstones productions since the '70s featured the two as teenagers and the next animated productions that came out after this take place when Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm are adults (like when they get married and have children), some fans have also theorized that the Jetsons traveled to the point in time where Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm have moved out and left for college. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: One scene has Fred (dressed as a professional gambler; complete with Barney in drag as his "girlfriend") proving he apparently does not know when, as he gets greedy, loses (and blows both his and Barney's cover in the process) and manages to get both of them fired by Mr. Slate. | |

Brick Joke: While ditching work to go to the poker game, Barney notes they've set the quarry dinosaurs to do the digging without their being present, but isn't sure that'll go well. Fred dismisses Barney's concerns, figuring the dinosaurs should be fine on their own, since they've been doing the same digging for years. Much later in the film, we see the quarry's dinosaurs are A) unionized and B) on strike. | |
