Review:

In this Flintstones episode Wilma would like to have a maid. The story takes some unexpected turns, however, and even a real maid shows up.

The maid has the telling name of Lollobrickida, but does not look like the stunning actress Gina Lollobrigida who was the inspiration of her name. How a maid can be Italian in a prehistoric world is never explained, but it doesn’t spoil the comedy, which is of a fine sort, even if things turn out well all too easily in the end.

The prehistory gags include long-billed birds as knitting needles and a huge dinosaur acting as a toll bridge.

Watch an excerpt from ‘Wilma the Maid’ yourself and tell me what you think:
