Historical Inaccuracies Seen In The Flintstones

1. Dinosaur and man never coexisted
2. Cro-magnon man did not own neckties
3. The name Wilma did not arise until the 16th century c.e.
4. That little dinosaur Fred uses as a lawnmower is a pterophasaur, which everyone knows is a carnivore and not an herbivore, and thus it would never agree to being used as this variety of garden implement.
5. The towns of Hollyrock and Rock Vegas, to name but two, never existed in the Precambrian Era. Hell, I can't even find them on an atlas now.

All of the above inaccuracies severely limited my enjoyment of the show, even if indeed Betty was a looker.
