Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid/Mouse-Taken Identity/Scarlet Pumpernickel

Beaky's mom sends her boys out for dinner. She tells the "slow" one (Beaky) to bring home a rabbit, and he finds Bugs. Bugs is up to his usual tricks to outwit the nitwit. In his "death scene" in the desert, Bugs feels a carrot through his supposed rib cage. ;Sylvester and Junior start work as mouse catchers at the Museum of Natural History. "You see, son, mice come in assorted sizes. Little runties, like the ones around here, and king-size mice like I used to hunt," Sylvester brags. His boast is tested when the pair encounter a kangaroo. ;Daffy "Dumas" Duck has written his own screenplay which parodies The Scarlet Pimpernel and tries to sell it to "J.L.," the studio head. Daffy plays the title character, Flynn. Porky Pig plays Claude Rains. Sylvester as Basil Rathbone, and Elmer Fudd as the proprietor of the King's Nostril Inn.

Ep. 63 Invisible Barney - Originally aired on September 28, 1962

In an attempt to cure Barney's hiccups, Fred offers his friend a swig from an experimental soft drink he has formulated. The brew turns Barney invisible, and Fred's elaborate attempts to hide the fact make Wilma wonder about her husband's sanity.

This was the only FLINTSTONES with tyhe original SCREEN GEMS Chinese lettering in the closing credits (as seen on their other shows and on SG's own shows of the day like GIDGET threee years later,afdter HB had dumped that lettering themsevles), to remain in synsication with its original credits, and also one of the original shows to have the FLINSTONES theme. Rather than having Warren Foster listed asd writer for every episode or John Stephenson & Hal Smith as guest voices as is the case for other 1962-63 episodes, as retro-listed in syndication for the longitme syndication of pre-Pebbles episodes, due to them having the earlier (BUSG BUNNY SHOW theme sounding) pre-MEET THE FLINSTONES theme,others,including Howard MacNear or ANDY GRIFFITH-Floyd the Barber-etc.,is on many rerun prints and the original of INVISIBLE BARNEY.Soon after the lettering changed to the 1962-1970 block-letters as seen regularly on most H-B series. (THE JETSONS swithced midway in its one original 1962-1963 seasaon to this lettering).Around this time, due to the newer song, in syndication no more "stock credits" appeared till 1990, though afterwards, each episode would hasvme a credit set taken from some other episode from that given episode's season (like ANN MARAGRET episode having the SWEDISH VISITORS ones, though then the BURKE'S LAW-inspired DET.BOULDER episode's credits started showing up on the Ann Margaret one,all from 1963.) As a result it's getting harder to tell what credits would be seen..and it must confuse a lot of folks, as would the 1960-61 episodes being given recreated "1960" episode endings (they sdid give the longtime neglected Jerry Mann credit at least).These appeared on CARTOON NETWORK till they were kicked off..the adult-oiorentated Winston pitchesd may have have also soimething to do with the replacement as well.
