The Roman Holidays: The Complete Series (DVD)

Somewhere between the pre-hysterical Stone Age of the Flintstones and the fantastic future of the Jetsons lie the Roman Holidays. This time around Hanna-Barbera tackles family life circa 63 AD. Augustus "Gus" Holiday (Dave Willock) is the man of the clan, lovely and level-headed spouse Laurie (Shirley Mitchell) keeps things on an even keel, teenage troublemaker Happius (Stanley Livingston) and child prodigy Precocia (Pamelyn Ferdin) threaten to break the Pax Familia. Housed at the humble Venus de Milo Arms, the Holidays face constant threats from their aptly named landlord Mr. Evictus (Dom DeLuise, in his toon debut) while Gus gets equally harried working at the Forum Construction Company by his boss, Mr. Tycoonius (Hal Smith). It's a good thing he gets to come home to a Roman's best friend - his pet lion, Brutus (Daws Butler)! So hop aboard your chariot - it's time to pay a visit to the Roman Holidays!
