The Flintstones (1960) - Intro

Step back in time to the dawn of primetime animation! The iconic intro to The Flintstones instantly transports you to Bedrock, a prehistoric suburbia that felt surprisingly relatable. As the first animated series to air in American primetime, it broke ground and captured the hearts of families across the nation and eventually the world through syndication. What made it special was its clever blend of Stone Age gags with modern-day problems, set to that unforgettable, catchy theme song, 'Meet the Flintstones.' Millions remember Fred sliding down the dinosaur tail after work, the foot-powered car, and the simple joy of gathering around the TV for a laugh. It wasn't just a cartoon; it was a cultural phenomenon that defined an era of television and brought prehistoric fun into living rooms everywhere, making Saturday mornings (and later, weeknights) truly yabba dabba doo!
