The Gravelberry Pie King

The Gravelberry Pie King is an episode of The Flintstones.
On their way to work, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble are discussing the possibilities of having every major holiday off, including Valentine's Day. Fred decides to present these demands to Mr. Slate, which results in his getting fired. He goes to the park, and shares slices of gravelberry pie with a couple of strangers. P.J. Safestone arrives, and also tries a slice. Impressed, he hires Fred as the Gravelberry Pie King.
Wilma Flintstone soon finds out about all this, and Fred decides that both families should pitch in to expedite deliveries. Initially, the order is for fifty pies. However, Wilma figures out that they're actually losing twelve cents a pie. Despite being shocked by this, Fred reveals that there is now a new order for five hundred pies. Wilma, Pebbles, and Dino faint upon hearing this. Still, they all decide to go through with the order. 
Eventually, Fred decides to increase the price to seventy-five cents a pie, which infuriates Mr. Safestone. So Fred and Barney decide to sell the remaining pies on the highway, but have no luck. Finally, a policeman asks them why they're selling the pies on a public road, and Fred states that they didn't actually sell any before he breaks down and cries.
Later, Wilma comes up with a plan to rectify everything. She convinces Mr. Slate to reinstate Fred, and then sells the gravelberry pie recipe to Mr. Safestone, after selling the remaining pies back to him. She also reveals that she's taking over as the Gravelberry Pie Queen. Fred is delighted, and asks her to dance with him.
== Trivia ==
* The Great Gazoo makes a cameo in this episode to offer friendly advice, but is otherwise completely absent.
* When Mr. Safestone vents his rage, his words are drowned out by the whistle. This implies that he said something that was taboo for TV shows in 1965.
