Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Hoping to land a spot on the musical TV series "Hum Along With Herman" (a spoof of the popular 1960s show Sing Along With Mitch, designed for viewers who can't remember the words!), Fred forms his own barbershop quartet, the Flintstone Canaries. Fortunately, lead singer Barney is blessed with a gorgeous tenor voice. Unfortunately, Barney can only sing when he's sitting in the bathtub--outside the tub, he can't carry a note in a washbucket! This episode is highlighted by harmonic renderings of the traditional "Old Folks at Home" and a newly-minted jingle for "Hum Along With Herman"'s sponsor, Softsoap.
