Development
The scene where Wilma brings Fred's meal by the pool was originally the series pilot pitch under the name, The Flagstones. It featured Daws Butler as both Fred and Barney, and June Foray as the voice of Betty.[1]
Aftermath
Foray later showed disappointment in not getting the role when the series was officially picked up.[1]
Behind the scenes

- This is the first of many different Charlies who pop up.
Errors
Everlasting influence
In The Jetsons episode "Elroy's Mob", a boy is watching a scene from this episode on his TV wristwatch. Despite this, the two worlds would later be retconned to exist in the same universe in the film The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones (although other media such as the magazines published by Marvel Comics had already established that they existed within the same universe).
