The misadventures of two modern-day Stone Age families, the Flintstones and the Rubbles.

This popular animated television cartoon featured two Stone Age families, the Flintstones and their neighbors, the Rubbles. Much of the humor was based on its comic portrayals of modern conveniences, reinterpreted using Stone Age 'technology.' Most notably were their cars, complete with absence of floorboards to allow them to be 'foot-powered.'—Tad Dibbern <[email protected]>

The Flintstones were the modern Stone Age family. Residing in Bedrock, Fred Flintstone worked an unsatisfying quarry job, but returned home to lovely wife Wilma and eventually daughter Pebbles. Fred, a big fan of golf and bowling, also enjoyed bullying neighbor Barney Rubble, while Barney's saucy wife Betty was best friends with Wilma. During the show's run, Barney and Betty would adopt an unnaturally strong son, Bamm-Bamm, who would become friends with little Pebbles. "The Flintstones," heavily inspired by "The Honeymooners (1955)," convinced a generation of children that dinosaurs and humans occupied the planet at the same time.

Set in the Stone Age, two families who are friends and neighbors to each other set out on multiple adventures together. Most of the time, they get into real situations and trouble where they try to work together to get out of them with ease and peace.—RECB3
