Yabba-Dabba-Do You Remember This?​

Before dinner-time cartoons and Saturday morning lineups, this animated family had us laughing right from prime time. You might remember their stone-age cars powered by feet, a pet dinosaur that acted more like a dog, and a certain caveman’s booming cry that could shake the quarry walls. Can you picture their prehistoric neighborhood?

Take a trip down Bedrock, home of none other than The Flintstones!

Premiering in 1960, this groundbreaking animated sitcom introduced us to Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty, and their loyal dino, Dino. As the first cartoon to air in prime time, The Flintstones brought prehistoric humor, foot-powered cars, and that unforgettable “Yabba-dabba-doo!” into America’s living rooms. What memories do you have of watching The Flintstones—after school, during dinner, or with family on rerun nights?

Take a trip down memory lane and share nostalgic stories with us!

"Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, they're a modern Stone Age family.
From the town of Bedrock, they're a page right out of history.

Let's ride with the family down the street
Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet.

When you're with the Flintstones
Have a yabba-dabba-doo time
A dabba-doo time
We'll have a gay old time."
