The Flintstones adaptations: films & series
Every version of The Flintstones — the films & series, compared across media.
The Flintstones plants a modern family comedy in the Stone Age — Fred and Wilma Flintstone, neighbours Barney and Betty Rubble, and a world of prehistoric gadgetry that mirrors twentieth-century suburban life. That premise, built around the misadventures of two neighbouring families, has proven durable enough to cross from animated television to live-action film. Here are all the versions, across TV and movies.
