A Question About The Rubbles on "The Flinstones"

[Yavin4]

Why couldn't they conceive a child on their own? Was it Betty's or Barney's fault? Does anyone have any inside information?

[elehhhhna]

1. It was always the womans fault in the 60's, so it was Betty.

[bowens43]

2. I don't think they ever had sex.

10. TV families never had sex in the 50s or 60s

all chidren were immaculately conceived or brought by some version of the stork.

[Yavin4]

15. Sometimes The Stork Would Get Drunk And Drop Off The Wrong Baby

That happened to Bugs Bunny who got dropped with a gorilla family.

18. They showed Wilma pregnant. Big belly and all. (nt)

[brainshrub]

11. Barney was gay.

He was a frustrated closeted homosexual who secretly pined after Fred.

Betty stayed with Barney because it was the early 60s and proper women didn't get divorced.
