Line 3:
No, it's not a [[Word Salad Title]], but neither does it actually describe what happens in the show.
 
In 1979, ''[[Fred and Barney Meet theThe Thing]]'' was an hourlonghour-long Saturday morning cartoon on [[NBC]] in which, ironically, neither Fred Flintstone nor Barney Rubble ever met the Thing. It consisted of a half-hour of ''[[The Flintstones]]'' and a half-hour of ''The Thing''. Eventually it was expanded to 90 minutes with the addition of a half-hour ''Shmoo'' segment, at which point the title of the show was changed to the equally inaccurate ''Fred and Barney Meet the Shmoo'' (although it did happen in the "Bedrock Cops" shorts on ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Show]]'').
 
The Flintstones segment consisted of episodes of the late 1970s spinoff ''The New Fred and Barney Show'', a series of new half-hour Flintstones stories told in a style somewhat closer to the original series versus the previous few spinoffs (i.e., Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm were depicted as toddlers instead of as teenagers).
Line 12:
 
Even the staff who worked on this barely believe this show existed.
