"𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬: 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞!" -𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐨🛸 Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble get their wishes granted by the Great Gazoo (~fabulously~ voiced by comedian Harvey Korman) in The Flinstones episode entitled The Great Gazoo, originally broadcast by ABC on October 29th, 1965. The character was based on a California Institute of the Arts (aka: CalArts, formerly the Chouinard Art Institute) instructor named Bill Moore. As stated in an article published by OUT magazine on February 24th, 2014:

Henry Selick (filmmaker and animator, Coraline, James and the Giant Peach): "Bill Moore was exceptional--a wake-up call, especially for some of the kids right out of high school. He was clearly gay, and this was a time when people from Iowa would say, 'What the hell? What's with that guy?' And he was flamboyant."

Michael Giamio (art director on Pocahontas and Frozen): "[Moore] took you to the edge of anxiety, fear, and frustration, and then you learned. He had an amazing style. He was politically incorrect with his approach, his language." Brad Bird (filmmaker and animator, Ratatouille): Everyone was terrified of Moore the first couple of classes before they ended up "loving him--I mean, loving him---but there is an animated character who actually was based on Bill Moore before Chouinard became CalArts: the tiny green alien, the Great Gazoo, on The Flintstones. No kidding."
