Divided We Sail

Divided We Sail is an episode of The Flintstones. It first aired on April 6, 1962.
== Summary ==
Fred Flintstone is due to appear as a contestant on The Prize Is Priced, alongside John Sludge and Agatha Agate. However, he chickens out at the last minute, and Barney Rubble takes his place. The first prize goes to John Sludge when Barney goes over the price by one cent. However, Barney wins a set of fishing gear by inadvertently bidding two cents, as the price is just 47 cents. He also wins a houseboat as the surprise prize. This leads to him and Fred arguing over ownership of the vessel. They soon decide on joint ownership, and name the houseboat Nau-Sea. This was a portmanteau of the names Nautical Lady and Queen of the Sea.
The Flintstones and Rubbles set out for a sailing excursion, accidentally ramming another houseboat along the way. Eventually, Wilma christens the houseboat with a thermos of cola, causing the trailer to be damaged. Nonetheless, the two families finally head out to sea. The men begin arguing again about which way they should go. Wilma and Betty throw out the anchor, but it's snagged their picnic basket containing a side of beef. A prehistoric sea monster decides to help itself to the food, and causes the houseboat to go faster than it should. Soon, the houseboat hits a rock, and begins to sink. Wilma and Betty get into a life raft, but the captains go down with their ship. 
== Trivia ==
* The Prize Is Priced is an obvious spoof of The Price Is Right, specifically the 1956–1965 iteration hosted by Bill Cullen.
* The messages Barney reads on the buoys are a parody of Burma Shave, a product that was advertised on a series of signs in the mid-20th century.
