Fred and friends were merchandised to the hilt, and as commercial television’s first animated family they unashamedly did their part to sell the sponsor’s products; in fact, the famous "Meet the Flintstones" theme is predated by a 55-second instrumental called "Rise and Shine" which served as the shows opening for the first two seasons (1960-61).
Seibert hired Tom Barreca, with whom he had worked previously at Nick at Night, to organize an all-out reclamation of Hanna-Barbera properties.
Also included are Fred and Barney "mini-flexy" figures and a rolled-up tan suede awning behind the seat ready for use.
