The Flintstones are a family who live in a town named Bedrock and was a famous cartoon in the late 1900s. From 1960 to 1966 the Flintstones was premiered at the ABC primetime lineup and was featured for 6 years. 


The Flintstones was constructed of a dopey husband called Fred Flintstone and Barney who was more of a bubbly character, a dinosaur called Dino. They was also Vilma Flintstone who was known for being Patient and her daughter named Pebbles and finally Betty Rubble and her adopted son Bamm-Bamm. 

During the pre-production stages of the Flintstones the writers had associated the cartoon with the stone ages, which is why most of the names have rock names in them.
