"Dino and Juliet" is the eleventh episode of the fifth season of the original series, The Flintstones. It aired on November 26, 1964.

Synopsis

Fred gets into a feud with their new neighbor, Mr. Loudrock, and the situation gets worse when Dino falls in love with his dog, Juliet.

Plot

Hostilities begin with Fred responding to loud-mouthed neighbor, Mr. Loudrock's edict that he needs to be quiet on his own property while he is enjoying a backyard sunbath, by activating his lawn sprinkler and spraying water over the fence separating Flintstone and his premises and onto his face.

Loudrock retaliates first by knotting Matilda, the mastodon-sprinkler's trunk, then by throwing a lawn weed onto Fred's head. Fred protests and so, Loudrock lifts and drops the stone fence onto his feet and tickles them! When Fred later learns that he has acquired a guard dog (dinosaur) that bites his hand, he prepares Dino for a confrontation with the enemy's pet, but it is love at first sight when Dino finds that Loudrock's dinosaur is female.

The predictable outcome is Dino and Loudrock's girl dinosaur mate and beget 15 babies, which "in-laws" Fred and Loudrock form an uneasy alliance to give away to the people of Bedrock.

  • This episode title is a spoof of Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet.

Allusions

  • The background music playing while Dino and Juliet secretly meet at night is a romantic version of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

Errors
