  • Brief Background

    The premise for the television show revolves around four main characters: Fred and Wilma Flintstone, and Barney and Betty Rubble. Each of the families has one child: the Flintstones have a daughter, Pebbles, and the Rubbles have a son, the rambunctious Bamm-Bamm. The Flintstones also have a small pet dinosaur named Dino and a pet "cat" (a saber-toothed tiger) named Baby Puss. Fred is a working-class Stone Age joe who labors everyday down at the stone quarry for his boss Mr. Slate.
