  The Christmas Spirit is Killing Mars!
The great Gazoo was a character introduced on the Flintstones and is a pretty good example of what happens to a show when it's "jumped the shark" (passed its prime) and desperate to not be cancelled.
Gazoo was an alien that was banished to prehistoric earth after he created a doomsday machine that would destroy the entire universe.
The weird thing is that the great Gazoo was actually introduced one year AFTER Santa Claus Conquers the Martians came out.

  Grassy Knoll Conspiracy: Flintstones Great Gazoo Surfaces
The “Great Gazoo” from the 1960’s cartoon, The Flintstones, has finally surfaced in Sevierville, Tennessee.

 The Great Gazoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Gazoo is a character from The Flintstones animated series.
Gazoo often appears before Fred and Barney in random, often inopportune moments.
One episode of The Simpsons ("The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase"), featured a little green alien character, Ozmodiar, a clear parody of The Great Gazoo, especially as he is used in the context of a joke about the show jumping the shark.

 SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: THE FLINTSTONES IN VIVA ROCK VEGAS
The Great Gazoo's commander states that he's sending Gazoo to Earth to document "the Earthlings bizarre mating rituals of love and marriage." One then asks why Earthlings can't reproduce like they do (and we see him do so by asexual reproduction - he splits apart into two identical versions of himself).
The Great Gazoo then comments on being there to observe the mating rituals and tells them to get to it (not exactly implying between each other, but that's what the two cavemen think and they quickly scramble apart from each other).
Roxie shows a great deal of cleavage in her low-cut outfit, while a woman at a gambling table shows cleavage as well.

 Real Heroes
The Great Gazoo is considered by many Flintstones fans as the one element that helped The Flintstones finally “jump the shark”, a term applied to any TV show that has an element or elements that permanently shift the integrity of the series.
In this case, the Gazoo (voiced by comedian Harvey Korman) is forever trying to help Fred and Barney out of their latest predicament by creating even greater problems with his magical solutions.
After the runaway success of Rocky and Bullwinkle and the middling successes of follow-up series such as Fractured Flickers and Hoppity Hooper, Jay Ward made one more attempt at a weekly animated series in 1967 with George of the Jungle, starring a Tarzan-like clone whose brain capacity was similar to Bullwinkle’s.

 Tribute To A Classic Character
He is a tiny, green, floating alien, voiced by Harvey Korman, having been exiled to Earth as punishment for having invented a weapon of immense destructive power.
Indeed, the show was cancelled shortly after his first appearance, although it cannot be said that Gazoo contributed in any way to the series' conclusion.
Despite this, Gazoo still appears from time to time (unlike Scrappy-Doo, who was almost completely abandoned from the Scooby-Doo continuity).

Gazoo was exiled from his home planet, Zetox, for inventing a device that could destroy the entire universe.
As punishment, he was stranded on prehistoric Earth and made to serve the "dumb-dumbs" who found him--Fred and Barney.
Gazoo can apparently be seen and heard only by Fred and Barney, animals, children, and his leader (the Great Gazam).

It's nice to hear from Earl Kress (in a very short "featurette") that The Great Gazoo was originally called "The Wizard of Ogg," but I'd much rather he imparted that particular information in a full-fledged commentary on one or more of the Gazoo episodes.
The Gazoo eps, of course, continue to be a source of lively debate amongst fans: was the inclusion of The Great One as a regular cast member the final "kiss of death" for the series?
Gazoo received fuzzy reviews from a lot of fans, but overall he did not take anything away from the show, he just added to it, giving Fred and Barney a few new twists, being only seen by Fred, Barney, Dino, Hoppy, Pebbles, and Bam-Bam.

Gazoo was exiled from his home planet of Zetox for creating a device that could destroy the entire universe (later the Fantastic Four would use the device to scare Galactus away).
Despite being all-powerful Gazoo dresses like Evel Knievel, but it's not that big of a deal because only Fred, Barney, children, and animals can see him.
So honestly nobody can really tell the Great Gazoo that his costume makes him look like the Jolly Green Giant's fetus.

As a child the Great Gazoo was just a crazy friend who came from another planet, but I see him more like a conscience and a teacher to Fred and Barney.

 Future Games Network -- Flintstones Bedrock Bowling Review
Gazoo proceeds to help his "dum dums" out by turning the complete city of Bedrock into a number of trenches that strangely resemble bowling lanes.
Gazoo announces that bowling practice will now consist of bowlers flinging themselves through these newly–formed trenches while in something that resembles half of a giant coconut.
You must also select a difficulty level to play; easy will have you going through the trenches at a speed that would have Cecil Turtle wondering what was keeping you; while Medium and Hard difficulty levels speed the pace up quite a bit and offer more of a challenge for the older crowd.

In Flintstones Bedrock Bowling, the Great Gazoo has transformed the town of Bedrock into an enormous bowling alley.
Playing as one of five characters from the TV series - including Fred, Barney, Pebbles, Bamm-Bamm, and Dino - you'll be hopping into a hollowed-out bowling ball as you roll, err… levitate, down each of the lanes.
I would have expected more vocals from the characters themselves, but instead the Great Gazoo seems to steal all the lines when introducing each of the lanes or acknowledging a strike.

PALM HARBOR - No matter how often he looks at downtown Palm Harbor's two new sculptures, Bill Howard says he will never see, as the artist intended, swirling hurricanes or seashells.
Instead, he says, he sees only the Great Gazoo, a tiny green alien from the old Flintstones cartoon.
The Palm Harbor resident first became aware of the said resemblance when his 13-year-old daughter, Lia, spotted the photo on the St. Petersburg Times' Web site and said, "Dad, it's the Great Gazoo."
