In the sixth and final season of that modern stone-age cartoon, a tiny green guy started talking to pals Fred and Barney. This alien was invisible to other adults, and he gave questionable advice to the two "dum-dums." The alien's name was the Great Gazoo. He was kicked off his planet of Zetox because he invented a potentially universe-destroying weapon. Gazoo's punishment was exile on prehistoric Earth where he served penance and made occasional reports to his leader, the Great Gazam. During the little green guy's brief run from 1965 to 1966, he was voiced by comedic
actor Harvey Korman. Gazoo appeared in at least seven episodes of "The Flintstones," although some fans felt that injecting an alien into caveman times helped the show jump the shark. The Great Gazoo had a role in one of the Flintstones movies, but we can only speculate on his post-prehistoric adventures.
