Sitcom

You must be behind quite a bit

Wish things didn´t really changed

Same old s***. It's really laughable how the activist always try to act like they're pioneers braving a bold new trail and doing things that people have never done before.

I started working on this 10 months ago and was continuously shocked no one else made a video about it. 🙏

@@BradleySmithKZfaq well it was as you put it the first if you knew about it you knew about it I saw it on its rerun on Cartoon Network and Boomerang didn't even know it counted as the first of what is basically the adult family sticom cartoon but mind you that was cause like the Flintstones when I watched it all the more nuanced humor is just really out of date and flew over my and probably any other child or anyone else's heads unless you grew up during that time period it.

​​@@BradleySmithKZfaq as a fan of this show as a kid when it played on cartoon newtork as reruns, i knew the family guy was more of a homage of wait til your father gets home than the simpsons especially harry's and erma's voices even seth mcfarlane himself said as such

@@thepubknight6144 Wait they use to do reruns of this show on CN

It wasn’t up there with Family Guy… or even the Roman Holidays

I still use the word Grand Poobah when referring to secret society higher ups

They encouraged kids to smoke in those days, but I can agree that even though the humor wasn't raunchy like we have nowadays, The Flintstones as well as Rocky and Bullwinkle were meant to target adult audiences. But they weren't raunchy shows. Family Guy would not have been spun off from the Flinstones.

100% normal in the 1960s for adults to drink and smoke in front of their kids. Expected behavior. The Flintstones was heavily influenced by The Honeymooners. Take a look at how closely Fred Flintstone is to Jackie Gleason.

No the first was Fritz the Cat... If you know you know

@@MaxxRemKing1 this movie came out in '72. The Flintstones still predated it by 12 years. Due to censorship laws until 1966, when they finally came out with the rating system, it wouldn't have mattered because there was no way we could have gotten by with the content shown in these 70's to now adult cartoons.

*reads first line* AAAAA WHY I WATC- *reads the last line* Oh

I was looking for this comment. The Flintstones was also inspired by The Honeymooners.

Also, The Flintstones ran for six seasons, so Wait Til Your Father Gets Home is not the first prime time animated series to last more than one season.

Correct. In 1960. And the second was the Jetsons in 1962. Was this one the third? I can't think of another in between. When I was a kid (early '70s) the Flintstones was rerun daily around dinnertime along with Batman (Adam West). Later in the '70s it was joined by the Brady Bunch, Adam-12, the Monkees and others. Those weren't animated but that's the point. The Flintstones was just another 1960s prime time show for adults.

​@@mugakamurakumothe GREATEST show of all ( HONEYMOONERS 🌙🌓🌠🌛) Ironically, The Honeymooners 🌕 inadvertently led me to this great show . At age 8 ,our mama sometimes let my twin + I stay up to watch The Honeymooners , this was 1972+ we went NUTS OVER it , and we soon spotted LOVE AMERICAN STYLE 🙂and would BEG I stay up to watch it ( it usually worked😃😃!) Next THIS GREAT show ( ThIS episode here I blv was first ep) was on as a Love American Style episode + ¹And Ohhhh Boy ; did we got Crazy over this also😃👌‼️ This quickly spun off as its own series in prime time We all got to watch it , together as it was earlier, prob 8oo pm , All 4 of us kids, our PHENOMOnal Dad , our phenOMonaL mama us 4 kids , even our pets all cozily watching this GREAT show 🌜✨🌓 watching it every🌙 chance I get.. Just A sent it over to my twin🌜✨🌠🌓📺✨🌛✨

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

@@spankynater4242 "We must stop that man before he promotes again".

I mean…sure, no one’s doubting that. But the whole point is that Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home is an *animated* adult sitcom, which is what is innovative about it. And yes, people are saying The Flintstones came first. And yes, it was technically marketed towards adults. But The Flintstones was watched and enjoyed by kids and adults just the same and didn’t have nearly the edge and social commentary that WTYFGH had.

@@TundieRice My comment wasn't really in reference to the other comments in as much to Bradley's remark that he was surprised how politically charged this sitcom was for a show that aired in the 70s.

You couldn't get All in the Family, the Jeffersons, or Sanford & Son on the air nowadays. It's sad.

Definitely, I need to! Thanks for mentioning that one.

@@BradleySmithKZfaq there were actually many attempts between the flintstones and Simpsons to make a prime time adult oriented tv animated show. At Paramount Ralph Bakshi was making a prime time cartoon adaptation of the Bickersons radio show(as well as a Laugh In type show) that got scrapped when Paramount shut down its animation department in 67 leaving only a partially complete test animation, In 1973 ABC commissioned Commercial house Focus Designs to make a tv pilot of Mad Magazine Comics. Unlike bickersons this was actually completed and was going on air that fall when it got shelved because of network fears of advertisers complaints related to the parody’s of commercials. Even MTM(Mary Tyler Moore’s company) got into the act and commissioned Murakumi Wolf to produce a pilot for Carlton Your Doorman an animated spinoff of the live action Rhoda show, the pilot aired in 1980 but CBS did not pick it up for series. Hanna Barbera worked on a adult oriented anthology show for NBC called Jokebook that was a production disaster that took 3 years to air thanks to a severely troubled production(animation had to go through retakes after the network rejected the initial episodes for poor animation, the network rejected several of the newly finished segments for being too crass, and helmed by a dirty old man who rejected everyone’s else’s ideas, and flaunted his connections to joe Barbera) was canned after only 3 episodes had aired and 7 being made. Hanna Barbera made a second mad magazine tv pilot in 1987 that was completed but never aired, Brad Birds family dog episode of amazing stories aired a mere month or so before the first Simpsons shorts. And while it wasn’t a pilot for a show it should be mentioned. There were many others that did not go past concept art, Filmation attempted one. And many others were done. I think it’s a good rabbit hole for you to explore

@@BradleySmithKZfaq also in addition bakshi was sketching up another prime time tv cartoon called the pow show which was like a mad magazine sketch comedy show when paramount shut down the studio

Technically, the Flintstones was originally aimed at adults.

I remember Where's Huddles, but I mostly recall seeing it on weekends in a late afternoon time slot, so its history has always been sort of patchy to me.

Many think of this show as the "first" adult-themed cartoon because of its relative frankness (for an animated cartoon). It came out a year after "All in the Family" debuted, but was actually a bit more light-hearted. It was also ground-breaking in that no network picked it up for either Prime Time or Saturday morning (it just wasn't oriented towards kids, nor was it designed to sell themed toys and "action figures" or lunch boxes as were so many kid's cartoons by then), WTYFGH was only syndicated, which was relatively new at the time.

Yeah, this exactly. The idea of story arcs and character development were foreign to sitcoms before the 80s. Each story was stand-alone.

But it was used exclusively for soaps.

@@robb233 Arcs were exclusive to soap operas or one hour dramas. Sitcoms were lucky to have continuity between a couple episodes.

That's the neat thing about late 60s/early 70s adult animations. As rare as they were... a lot of them are hauntingly relevant to this very day.

The "Pink Panther" cartoons had laugh tracks in them as late as 1976. By the time Pink Panther switched networks from NBC to ABC in 1977, they no longer used the laugh track.

The Pride Flag crap is overrated.

@@RobinTheMetaGod call it the used kitty litter flag...... cats pride!

reimoo ❤️

Jackie Gleason nearly sued Hanna-Barbera over effectively "stealing" the Honeymooners but decided against it. The studio offered to do a show starring him, but it never came off. Gleason decided that imitation was the sincerest form of flattery.

We were still able to have a sense of HUMOR, before "political correctness" ruined everything.

Um, wasn't the 1970s when parents had full control over what cartoons got made and how?

@@selfdohmm

@@selfdoyou sound like a moron

honestly i find a lot of 70s media more relatable now than anything made in the 80s 90s or even the 2000s

Ha ha, I gotta change up my music I see. 😅 and that was an homage to Fred in that episode

@@BradleySmithKZfaq nothing wrong with the music. I love being able to hear the melodies from the games I enjoy just it seems like it’s everywhere. Oh that’s music from Mario paper thousand year door. Oh That’s Zelda wind Waker,

​@@BradleySmithKZfaq fun fact the voice of fred is the famous voice actor frank welker using his actual voice and they modeled fred's look from frank's at that time he voiced him

I know that I knew that voice! I thought it was the dad from "Happy Days" lol!

@@BradleySmithKZfaq use some boards of canada

The canned laughs feel cheap, too, making the show harder to appreciate. So glad this has died out. However, I wish live action sitcoms would stop and go back to actual LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCES. That’d be dope. Make sitcoms feel more like live theater. But that could never translate to a cartoon.

You must not have watched the Flintstones or original Scooby doo then.

@@BradleySmithKZfaq the last sitcom with a studio audience I can think of is the Big Bang theory was they’re anything after that?

To be fair, it's not like you can get a live studio audience for a cartoon series, so they used laugh tracks. Most live-action sitcoms though had a live studio audience back then and when I was growing up. Not much of a thing now and they used canned laughter.

@@BlackPuma124 yeah they were pretty common when i was growing up..born in 92. I remeber them in two and a half men and big bang theory...So i guess they fell more out of favor either in late 2000s or early 2010s.)

The theme song is what most people remember.

I was expecting the Flintstones or the Jetsons. I didn't get the adult humor so I didn't watch it much after the first episode. Then again I was 6 years old at the time so go figure. I did like the opening song and sequence very memorable for my young self.

Ditto! I remember watching this as a kid and even though I haven't seen it in decades, that theme song will never leave my brain. The show was weird back then and it's still weird now. I love it!

@@bloppysloppy4057that’s common for me

That's so cool!! Im in love with this type of animation. Would you mind sharing some stories?

That is remarkable. Very impressive work that has left a great impression on people over the decades. 💜

Yes I would love to hear some stories.😊

I would also love to hear about your experience working the show, please!

Do you remember which building? I pass Burrard every day, I'm so curious now!

That's pretty cool to know.

He was that young then

He's actually probably better known for his character in the Bad News Bears movies.

He was eventually replaced by Willie Aames, who went on to do We’ll Get By, the Alan Alda-created sitcom about a family in the North Jersey suburbs. The cast featured Paul Sorvino (Mira’s father), Jerry Hauser (Summer of ‘42; The Brady Brides), Mitzi Hoag, and Devon Scott (daughter of George C., half-sister of Campbell; also originated the daughter role on the Tony Randall Show). Aames also did Eight is Enough and Charles in Charge. Alice was voiced by Kristina Holland, who played Bill Bixby’s secretary on The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, and did one of the first TV portrayals of a lesbian in an episode of Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law. Ralph was voiced by Jack Burns, part of the stand-up comedy team of Burns and Schreiber. Avery Schreiber did a series of some of the first TV commercials for Doritos.

@@vincegay986 Willie "Bible-Man" Aames?

Worked for the Flintstones which lifted The Honeymooners. Although at least they waited for that show to end.

​​@@jarvindriftwoodI don't think HB Productions "waited" as they took a familiar situation and applied it to the Prehistoric Era.

I remember a Saturday mornig cartoon called the Barkleys who were a family of dogs. The patriarch Arnie Barkley was a cross between Archie Bunker and Ralph Cramden.

@@bloppysloppy4057 Yes-I remember that too! It was by De Patie-Freleng studios, who had employed some of the same people previously at Warner Bros. The studio had done their own recycling of such famous characters as Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, but perhaps is best known for the Pink Panther and also the animated credits for “I Dream of Jeannie”. The interesting thing about Arnie on “The Barkleys” is he was modeled as you said partially from Ralph Kramden (“The Honeymooners”) and both characters drove a bus (although in this series we actually see Arnie as the driver, unlike Ralph who merely refers to it but consistently). Arnie was voiced by Henry Corden, who had replaced Alan Reed on “The Flintstones” and also as you said many of Arnie’s characteristics were also inspired by the loudmouths of all of those patriarchs: Ralph, Fred and of course the bigoted Archie on “All in the Family”. We still see that dynamic in today’s adult-oriented cartoons as well as the “sensible wife” and sometimes insightful kids.

@@anthonysimpsonanygoround8749 Joan Gerber did the voice of Irma on WTYFGH and Arnie's wife on The Barkelys.

The Barkleys look like if Hannah-Barbara were furries. Gotta look into it and try to find the episodes!

@@BradleySmithKZfaq It's from Friz Freleng's short lived animation studio, when he briefly tried to do a Don Bluth, leaving Warner Bros/Looney Tunes and create his own empire. Also did a show called HoundCats, which probably wouldn't go down too well in today's climate.

Don't forget THE GOOD OLD DAYS, that was made to compete with THE WALTONS.

@@PotterPossum1989 and The Waltons was already competing with Little House On The Prairie

Josie & The Pussycats was my favorite show in 2nd grade!

​@@daisyviluck7932 My grandma made me watch Little House AND the Waltons, religiously, so it felt less like they were competing, and more like they were partnering together, to make my summer vacations a never-ending Oregon Trail nightmare dystopia. This was in a very quiet, religious, small, southern town, where there was only one Piggly Wiggly. So buying a tv guide and waiting until the Waltons came on was the highlight of everyone's day. I still have nightmares about it.

Yeah, I remember "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" during my pre-teen years on Cartoon Network during the late 90's too. When it came up in conversation with my friends and classmates, we all thought it was just the 70's version of "The Simpsons". I don't know my friends/classmates, but I ended up sticking with it during its run on Cartoon Network. And to my surprise, I ended up enjoying, and being pleasantly entertained by it; (not to mention it made me fell more like a grown-up after watching some of the episodes). (And I guess having a crush on the daughter Alice helped with my engagement of the show at the time too.)

I actually had never heard of the term “Rooskie” before checking out this show.

I see where you coming from.

​​​@@univon4892to be fair, he wasn't in the pilot on Love, American Style and I thought the flow of it was perfect. Jamie just sometimes pops up to either be a support character to the father or a destructive character to his siblings. He doesn't have much of a character himself

Jamie was comedic relief insert plain and simple. The forgotten, youngest child.

Maybe so, but with Jamie you can see the seeds of the Alex P. Keaton character that ended up defining Family Ties.

Jaime was a prototype for Alex Keaton (Michael J Fox) of "Family Ties". A mercenary little shit, but after the utter disappointment that Chet turned out to be, a ray of hope for Harry to continue the Boyle line.

That would be cool since it's not like it's garbage! There would be an audience for it. Remaster and rerelease on a streaming platform.

As if Velma is THAT bad enough

I remember watching this on BBC back in the late 70s. I watched anything animated back then, especially Hanna-Barbera shows.

I guess broadcasters in my area had the same opinion that just because it was animated, it must be for kids, because when I watched it in the 1980's, it was a Saturday Morning Cartoon. They showed it, like, half an hour before the Smurfs. I only realized that it was "mature" when I caught reruns on Teletoon Retro in the 2000's.

I'm younger but I remember watching it on Cartoon Network in the US. Nobody that I know seems to remember it either from those days or older folks from back in the day. It definitely didn't strike me as "adult" back then but I wasn't very well supervised so I had always just watched whatever I wanted. It definitely comes across as much more adult than I had remembered.

I'm autistic too

I remember it in UK in 1979s too. Used to love it.

Cartoon Network aired this show for a little while sometime in the 90s. Maybe that was it?

It came on late at night on Cartoon Network in the nineties.

It also influenced "Happy Days", and was one of the reasons Tom Bosley had the series-long run as Cunningham patriarch Howard.

All In The Family definitely influenced The Paul Lynde Show
