"My Fair Freddy" is the twenty-fifth episode of the sixth season and the one hundred and sixty-fifth overall episode of the original series, The Flintstones. It aired on March 25, 1966.

Synopsis

The Flintstones are accepted into the Stonyside Country Club when an overhead conversation about Dino's lineage is misunderstood to be about Fred's. Gazoo sets about helping Fred get culture.

Plot

Snobs at the Stonyside Country Club are looking for new clientele and, on investigating a new applicant (Fred) for admission into the prestigious club, a trio of Stonyside ladies, Adelle, Olive and Sophia overhear that Wilma's "pet" has descended from royalty. Although Wilma is really speaking of Dino, whose royal lineage has been confirmed, the Stonyside women misunderstand and believe that Wilma's "pet" is her husband- and that Fred has royal blood.

Fred and Wilma are therefore both given membership in the club, and though Fred is honored to be included in the Stonyside clique, he and Wilma both realise that the club's representatives are in error about Fred's entitlement. Nevertheless, Fred is resolved to impress his inductors, and Gazoo offers to improve Fred's poise and mannerisms. Fred insists that Gazoo use conventional means to achieve this (i.e., no magic), and Gazoo is happy to oblige. He trains Fred in ballet.

Joe Rockhead and other Bedrock men assemble outside Fred's garage to peek at the balletic moves of Flintstone-in-tights, and Fred's embarrassment causes him to shrink! Finally, Fred decides to attend a Stonyside ball as himself, and he and Wilma teach the hoity-toity cream of Bedrock society to do a ducky dance, and nearly everyone present willingly joins in the waddling and "quack-quacking".

Notes/Trivia

• This was Gazoo's final appearance in this episode until The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, a 2000 prequel to the 1994 film, The Flintstones and the episode, "Alien vs. Pebbles" in the 2020 series, Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs.
• The scenes where Fred is doing ballet were reused in the episode, Bowling Ballet.

Allusions

• The title is a spoof to My Fair Lady.
• The 'Duck Walk' song and dance is obviously borrowed from the 'Chicken Dance', which was composed in the 1950s.

Errors

• During the 'Duck Walk' song, one guest says a line in Henry Cordon's voice, but immediately the same character delivers a line in Mel Blanc's voice.
