View Full Version : Which Voice of Fred Flintstone Did You Prefer? Brian Damage 02-20-2010, 09:28 PM Henry Corden or Alan Reed? Zoneboy 02-20-2010, 09:34 PM Alan Reed, No contest. Mr. Television 02-20-2010, 09:52 PM Alan Reed. angiefan 02-20-2010, 10:05 PM Alan reed. Did you know he donated his body to science.:eek: Madame X 02-21-2010, 12:57 AM Fred Flintstone = Alan Reed. Period. Marvo301 02-21-2010, 01:05 AM I agree with everyone else Alan Reed is the man. tv star collector 02-21-2010, 03:19 PM Bill Hanna said it best: "[Alan] Reed tours the country in a leopard skin. He is Fred Flintstone." In fact, it was Reed who created the phrase "Yabba-Dabba-Do." The word in the script was "wahoo," and he ad-libbed "yabba-dabba-do!" The rest is history. MickeyMac 02-21-2010, 05:17 PM Alan Reed all the way. 70s show watcher 02-21-2010, 05:28 PM alan reed his fred was almost like a real person and you almost for got that it was a cartoon with henry carden as good as he was he didin;t lend any sense of realism to fred treky 02-22-2010, 01:59 AM I never knew 2 people voiced Fred, I always thought it was Allen Reed who did him. Mr. Television 02-22-2010, 02:13 AM I never knew 2 people voiced Fred, I always thought it was Allen Reed who did him. Henry Corden took over after Alan Reed died in 1977. I never watched many of the cartoons that he did. treky 02-22-2010, 02:16 AM oh, so Allen Reed just did the series? Mr. Television 02-22-2010, 02:20 AM oh, so Allen Reed just did the series? He did the original 1960-1966 ABC Series and then he played Fred in all the Saturday morning spin-offs they had up until 1977. howilu 02-23-2010, 11:49 AM Alan Reed. He created the voice and fans will always remember him as Fred Flintstone. comedyfreak 02-25-2010, 09:31 AM Alan Reed all the way. Henry Corden was good at voicing Pa Rugg on The Hillbilly Bears. I never could get use to Mr. Corden's Fred Flintstone. gopyle 11-13-2011, 11:17 PM Alan Reed was fantastic. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy his work as Fred. Corden was a decent voice artist with other characters, but should never have been given the role of Fred. They should have just quit making Flintstones-related shows after Mr. Reed could not continue in the role.

Charley Knox 02-02-2021, 11:12 PM According to a recent METV article, Cordon was already filling in for Reed during the original show run when Fred was required to sing. |
