Today is St. Patrick's Day, and let us celebrate it the best way possible: By talking about the Great Gazoo. The original Scrappy Doo, Gazoo is a pretty infamous character among Flintstones fans, but in 2004, Cartoon Network gave him his own day.
That St. Patrick's Day, Cartoon Network hosted "Great Gazoo Day." It was a marathon that ran for five hours, consisting of Flintstones episodes with Gazoo and The Man Called Flintstone film. This was probably the last time that movie aired on the channel, and I imagine it was one of the last times they gave much attention to The Flintstones period. Only a few months later, Cartoon Network would rebrand and kick most of their older shows to Boomerang, Flintstones included.
As best a I can remember, they did bring back Flintstones for the weekday around late 2000s/early 2010s (I'm really blanking on when exactly, it's probably the latter).
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. They also aired a few of the Christmas specials this past December.
