Wilma Flintstone's Appliances

[rpm]

I was watching the Flintstone's with my niece today and she loved Wilma's help around the house.
I know she had an elephant for a vacuum,birds for clothes pins and a tall bird for a mop.
Did she have a beaver for a can opener?
There was that animal under the sink for a disposal, anything else thats missing?

Wilma's washer......

...was a pelican.

 

[cehalstead]

and don't forget the shower......

.....which was an elephant shooting water out of its trunk.

How did the pelican work?

I seem to recall that their dishwasher was an octopus.

I dont think they ever showed Wilma's be... can opener.

I thought the garbage disposal was a pelican/stork.

Re: Garbage Disposer:

was a Saber-Tooth Wart Hog, think that is what they are called...

Best of the Best Cartoon's Show. It was the 1st Show that we watched in 1962 when my parent's got our first Color TV, was the Flintstones. The TV was a Zenith 21-inch Oval Picture and it had a massive Cabinet. It was either just before or around the same time as the Remote Control TV's, but this on only had the On/Off Volumn Control and the Tuner Dial had the numbers on the center of the Dial Control.

In the episodes I saw, Wilma's dishwasher was a monkey with a watering can and her washer was the pelican, she put the the laundry in its mouth and then it swished them around for a bit.

Cat dust mop

A fuzzy cat on its back was pushed around the floor with a stick. The sewing machine was a bird that sewed with its beak. Record player was a bird too. Versatile appliances those birds.

Didn't see the Flintstones in color until high school, around 1973 when my parents bought our first color tv. I was home sick and napping on the couch. When I woke up my parents were in the living room, both grinning like the cheshire cat, just waiting for me to notice the brand new television set. First thing I saw was Star Trek, it was on WKBS channel 48 every day.

I wonder what she would have used for the microwave?

Wilma's Mixer & knife

There was a bird, riding the egg beater like it was a tall unicycle going around the bowl. Usually preparing scrambled dinosaur eggs for breakfast. Seen a bird with a long serrated beak being used to slice Wilma holding the legs of the out stretched bird.

~I wonder what she would have used for the microwave?

Kangaroo pouch?

 

[laundromat]

No,not a microwave.They used a Meaty O'Rite!!

 

[spankomatic]

Meaty O'Rite sounds like Smallville.... Oh,maybe they use Kryptonite there.

Fred's beaver

I was sure I saw Wilma's beaver... can opener
Now that I think about it, it was Fred that was using a beaver out in the garage.
Wasn't he stroking a piece of wood with it?
Or was it just a squirrel with long teeth?

 

[iheartmaytag]

I remember the vacuum being a wooly mammoth on wheels, and the radio was a bird that flew into the box and repeated what it had been told.

 

[perc-o-prince]

the radio was a bird that flew into the box and repeated wha

IIRC, that was the intercom in Mr. Slate's office.

Don't forget Fred's shaver... bees in a clamshell!

There was also a swordfish she used to slice things too.

There was also a swordfish

That would be the electric knife. I just love power tools!
