Give a little get a little

A nice episode that has Fred and Wilma teaching high society people to have fun and being excepted for being themselves.

The great Gazoo gains some points too . He apologizes to Fred for embarrassing him in front of his friends ( as Fred wears a ballet outfit!) . Fred though says everything worked out he's making new friends and gave the old ones a laugh.

I like that this episode gives that twist on My Fair Lady that you should be yourself but also be open minded to other people and what they like. It doesn't all have to be one way or another. You don't have to reject everything your not comfortable with but you don't have to lose who you are. This goes for everyone. Fred learned Gazoo is helpful if he looks at it in the right way. Gazoo gets a little more humble but is genuinely touched he helped Fred. The high society people have fun with the Flintstones not looking down on them and join them at the Flintstones for coffee and cake . Fred and Wilma learn they can have high society friends and just be themselves.

If you can't be yourself, you're nobody!

My Fair Freddy is a slight parody on My Fair Lady. There's even a play on words "The hail and shale fall mainly in the pail!" It was written by Tony Benedict and featured Henry Corden (who would replace Alan Reed as Fred after his passing) as Joe Rockhead, Harvey Korman as the Great Gazoo and the opening narrator and Jean Vander Pyl and Gerry Johnson as the "welcoming committee" of the Stoneyside Country Club. This was the last episode to be produced of the original series. Fred applies for membership at the prestigious Stoneyside Country Club. So a membership committee stops by the Flintstones' house to see if they are "worthy" to be members. They overhear Wilma and Betty talking about Dino being of royal descent and think they're talking about Fred. So they welcome the Flintstones and invite them to a ball that Saturday night. While on his way home, Fred complains about the traffic. So Gazoo turns the Flintmobile into a Flintocopter. Unfortunately, Fred gets a ticket for not having a pilot's license so Gazoo snaps it back to being a Flintmobile- before Fred and Barney have landed! When Fred arrives home, he's told about his new membership at Stoneyside. Wilma tells him she's worried because they're not rich and sophisticated as the other members so Fred promises to go to charm school to fit in. Gazoo offers to be his teacher and Fred reluctantly accepts- on the condition that Gazoo refrain from magic tricks. He has Fred balancing the book on his head and practicing ballet. Unbeknownst to him, Joe Rockhead is watching from the garageand tells all of Fred's friends. When Fred opens the door, there they all are, laughing Fred down to size! Fred decided he and Wilma will still go to the ball, "but as ourselves!" So they make as the head of the membership committee "an appalling entrance!" Some of the members are complaining it's boring. Fred asks the band to play some rock music and the band cherfully obliges. Fred teaches them a new dance- the Duck Walk. Even the stuffy membership committee joins in! Overview: I like the idea of how this episode encourages people to just be themselves. I also liked the scene where Gazoo transforms the Flintmobile into a Flintocopter. And most people should know not all rich and sophisticated people are snobs but it does add a lot of laughs, epsecially at the expense of those who are! 7 duck walks out of 10.
