The Flintstones
Bedrock animated series
The Flintstones is an animated television series depicting a Stone Age family in the fictional town of Bedrock.
The show portrays prehistoric life with modern suburban trappings—dinosaur-powered appliances, rock cars, and Stone Age puns on contemporary products.
First airing in 1960, it became a cultural touchstone referenced in discussions of nostalgia, Americana, or anachronistic technology: Their computer setup looks like something from The Flintstones.
