The Roman Holidays is a Hanna-Barbera animated television series that was broadcast in 1972 on NBC. It ran for 13 episodes before being cancelled. Very similar in theme to both The Flintstones and The Jetsons, The Roman Holidays brought a look at "modern-day" life in Ancient Rome, around 63 AD, as seen through the eyes of Augustus "Gus" Holiday and his family. The opening showed a chariot traffic jam and a TV showing football on Channel "IV" An Ancient Roman setting was actually one of the ideas that Hanna-Barbera considered as they were working to create The Flintstones.
Gus and Mr. Evictus compete for Father Of The Year. If Gus wins Mr. Evictus will kick the Holidays out of their apartment.

Happy (who had a cold) invites Groovius to catch ""The Davey Cassius Show"". Happy doesn't think he's that hot, but Groovius, Brutus & Precosia like that Roman idol. Agustus comes home telling the family that he's got tickets for the upcoming Davey Cassius concert! The family goes to the stadium for the concert, but Happy decides to pass on going to the concert since he still has a cold. He & Brutus were heading back to the chariot until some girls screamed & chased him all over the arena. They duck into a dressing room to find that Davey Cassius looks exactly like Happy Holiday (without the black wig). Davey tells his manager that he's going on a vacation & wants Happy to cover for him. The manager thought it's a great idea until Happy told him he couldn't sing. So @ the concert, the manager plays a phonograph of Davey's singing while Happy pulls a Milli Vanilli, faking the performance. Davey is spotted by the family (who think he's Happy) & has him come home with them. Davey prete
