Barney's Hiccups

Fred tries to cure Barney's hiccups with his new soft drink invention.

A funny episode. The soft drink turns Barney invisible. The funniest scene is when Fred takes invisible Barney to the bowling alley. Fred's obnoxious rival Blowhard challenges him to a game. Barney volunteers to help Fred win. Some of the funniest moments is an announcer calling the game in hushed tones (voiced by Hal Smith).

Trivia
This episode marks the first use of the landmark animation and theme song "Meet the Flintstones" by Hoyt Curtin, that the public has identified with the show, both for open and closing. However, it was later added to earlier episodes.

Goofs
During the bowling match, Blowhard is shown shooting an 8 on one of his frames, missing the 7-10 split, but later according to the score sheet, it shows that he has not scored above 4 in any of his frames.
