When the show first debuted on ABC on September 30, 1960, The Flintstones broke new ground as the first animated sitcom in primetime, a feat that paved the way for modern animated programs such as The Simpsons and Family Guy. Created by animation pioneers William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the series was modeled loosely after The Honeymooners and originally intended for adult audiences. Over the decades, it has evolved into an all-ages favorite and a cornerstone of American pop culture.

Today, The Flintstones airs daily on MeTV Toons, reaching new and nostalgic fans alike.
