"Feudin' and Fussin'" is the twentieth episode of the second season and the forty-eighth overall episode of the original series, The Flintstones. It aired on February 2, 1962.

Synopsis

Fred and Barney fight before a golf tournament leading to the Rubbles moving house.

Plot

Barney's attempt to learn to play golf disturbs Fred's sleep, during which Fred has been dreaming of championship in a golf tournament. Irate at Barney for ruining his sweet dream, Fred's patience is limited, and when he discovers that he is ten minutes behind schedule to go to the Bedrock Golf Club for a game "on the green" with Charlie Pulmerstone, Fred collects his golf clubs and scurries to his car.

Seconds after Fred's departure from his driveway, his telephone rings, and Barney receives the communication from Charlie, who wants to inform Fred that he cannot play golf with Fred on this day. Barney, on foot, chases a hurrying-and-refusing-to-listen Fred all of the way to the golf course to relay Charlie's disappointing news to his eager opponent, and Fred blames messenger Rubble for not revealing the unavailability of Charlie before Fred's arrival at the golf tee. Brusquely dismissing Barney as stupid, Fred drives his car back to his home and refuses to allow an again-running Barney to sit in the passenger seat.

When Barney urges atonement from Fred for the abrasive remark, Fred says that he is sorry that Barney is stupid, which is insulting to Barney, and the Rubbles decline to join Fred and Wilma for a weekly bridge game. Fred's pride prevents him from apologizing to Barney "from his heart (and not only) from his mouth." So, for nine days, Fred lives without his best friend, playing gin and badminton with himself quite effectively, until Wilma shows to Fred an old photograph album containing childhood and wartime pictures of Fred and Barney, and Fred's sentimentality for his life-long pal conquers his insufferable pride.

When he goes to Barney's door, however, he hears that Barney is in the process, through Quickstone Real Estate, of selling the Rubble home to a wealthy Texarockan, Yippee-Aye-O'Rock, for $20,000! Determined to prevent the transaction, Fred disguises himself in a moustache and workman's hat as a Freeway Commission representative to falsely announce to the Texarockan that a road will be built through the Rubbles' for-sale house, and O'Rock refuses to buy the property. After O'Rock and Mr. Quickstone have departed the Flintstone-Rubble neighborhood, Fred apologizes wholeheartedly to Barney with a humility that surprises even Fred!
