Is Flintstones as good as I remember it being?

Exactly. You can debate the quality of some of the stories, but really it uses the exact same situations and type of humour as those shows you listed.
I think The Flintstones is for those a little older than the 5 year old set. It hews pretty closely to the old formula of the bickering-but-loving married couple, and that's not something little kids would necessarily "get". At least those younger than 10 years old.
I say if you enjoy the recent sitcom The King of Queens, then you should have no problem with The Flintstones. They are pretty much the same shows.
Me, I still think it's funny. At times. Obviously it wasn't a consistently funny show, being written by writers of varying degrees of skill, but it does occasionally hit some great jokes at times. I do enjoy it better than some more recent animated sitcoms as well. But you have to view The Flintstones with a different lens, something many younger viewers may not have the ability to do.

Aren't Fred and Wilma the first animated couple to have a baby? I mean usually in animation (anime included), a couple will usually be blessed with a child during the finale of a series and not the middle.
But taking the ground breaking aspect away, it's no masterpiece and I could recommend better cartoons. But it is decent, and should entertain you if you can enjoy simplicity.

If unsure, I'd suggest renting the show on DVD first. The series' high points would probably be the first 3-4 seasons (Pebbles came along midway through the third season)...

I got mine on a sale for $15 per season set. Would I get it for more than $30 per season? Probably not.
Again, consider the prices of the places that you frequent. If you can get a set for lower than $20 then it's a worthy gamble.
