Flintstone

Flintstone is a fictional prehistoric setting that serves as the backdrop for the animated television series The Flintstones. The show, created by Hanna-Barbera Productions, depicts a Stone Age world with modern conveniences, such as automobiles powered by foot and animals serving as household appliances. The primary characters are Fred Flintstone, his wife Wilma, their daughter Pebbles, and their pet dinosaur Dino. Fred works at a slate quarry, and his neighbor and best friend is Barney Rubble, who lives with his wife Betty and their adopted son Bamm-Bamm. The humor of the series often stems from the juxtaposition of prehistoric life with contemporary middle-class suburban life. The Flintstones first aired in 1960 and became a highly successful and influential animated sitcom, spawning numerous spin-off series, films, and merchandise. The setting of Bedrock, the town where the Flintstones reside, is characterized by its distinctive rock formations and a population of humans and anthropomorphic dinosaurs. The show's creator, William Hanna, described it as "The Honeymooners with dinosaurs." The Flintstones' popularity endured for decades, making it one of the most recognizable and beloved animated franchises in television history.
