Review:

‘The Kissing Burglar’ is literally about a kissing burglar, a crook with apparently a romantic side to him. Wilma and Betty are all excited about meeting him, so Fred decides to teach Wilma a lesson.

The kissing burglar is a pretty silly character, especially because he’s shown to have a jealous wife, and there are some cartoony antics. But in the end the episode turns out to be a nice play on Fred and Wilma’s relationship to each other. Especially the end scene is a beauty, in that respect.

The stone age gags meanwhile are scarce. They makers don’t even show how the night lamps work, but the typewriter is well done.

Watch an excerpt from ‘The Kissing Burglar’ yourself and tell me what you think:

This is The Flintstones Season Three episode 16
To the previous The Flintstones episode: Flashgun Freddie
To the next Flintstones episode: Wilma the Maid

‘The Kissing Burglar’ is available on the Blu-Ray ‘The Flintstones – The Complete Series’ and the DVD-box ‘The Flintstones Season 3’
