Fred Flintstone is in quite a few of these cartoons. Each episode of the show featured 2 Dino and Cave Mouse segments. Tex Avery's name appears on the title card for one, but he may have worked on more. The Dino and Cave Mouse segments are another version of the Tom & Jerry, Tweety & Sylvester type of cartoon series. These segments have a wide array of interesting and inventive villains. When Captain Caveman transforms, he requires a hat rack to jump behind, making so much noise many residents of Bedrock look out their windows quizzically.

The Captain Caveman segments seem heavily inspired by not just Superman, but possibly the 1952 TV version of Superman starring George Reeves. In one of the Frankenstone episode he abuses his cop powers to make the monster family lose their home. Not just in the inept way, but also Fred embodies the whole abuse of power by cops thing in a major way. Mostly they face-off against the Frankenstone's pet Badrock.

She usually baby-talks to Caveman to get him to help and save them. Taffy holds the middle position in the Teen Angels' hierarchy, below Dee Dee and above Brenda, and she appears to be Captain Caveman's favorite. She often coaxes Captain Caveman into helping with her plan to trap the villain du jour. Her main catchphrase is "Zowie" whenever anything exciting or mysterious happens or she comes up with a "Daffy Taffy" plan in which her eyes sparkle and stars appear around her. ![]() Taffy and Dee Dee Skyes take turns driving the group's vehicle - implying that she is at least 16 years old and old enough to drive.
