TV Shows - Roman Holidays, The
The Roman Holidays was a short-lived Hanna-Barbera cartoon series that was broadcast in 1972 on NBC, lasting only one season and 13 episodes. Very similar in theme to both The Flintstones and The Jetsons, The Roman Holidays brought a look at "modern-day" life in Ancient Rome, around 63 A.D. (with a 1970s touch), as seen through the eyes of Augustus "Gus" Holiday and his family.

I'm not exactly sure but the Hanna-Barbera deal of transferring then-contemporary suburban sitcom family antics to Romans just didn't work as well as it did with cavemen or a futuristic settings! Why I was far more willing to suspend belief re dinosaurs living at the same time as humans in "The Flintstones" than I was a teen being able to chisel a 'record' album on a stone disc, defies logic. Perhaps HB had simply gone to the well one too many times with that formula or maybe I was more interested in seeing Romans at least vaguely realistically portrayed than I was in cavemen or future folk! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on January 6, 2011, 8:43 am - (0 votes)
