The main cast of characters includes The Flinstone family consisting of Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Dino, Baby Puss and Doozy plus their loveable neighbors and best friends, The Rubbles—Barney, Betty, Bamm_Bamm and Hoppy. Set in the Stone Age in the town of Bedrock, this imaginary version of the past shows dinosaurs, woolly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers and other extinct animals living alongside cavemen while chronicling the everyday life of these families. The great thing about show was that these cavemen had 20th century technology but all items were made from pre-industrial materials and powered by the use of a variety of different animals/dinosaurs. For instance cars were made out of stone and powered by the feet of the passengers, a baby elephant would be used as a vacuum cleaner, birds as car horns, a woodpecker using it's beak to play a gramophone record or an "electric" razor made from a clam shell and vibrating from a honey-bee that was inside.
It was a great show full of fun and humor. There were even some great guest appearances by Ann-Marget as Ann-Margrock, Tony Curtis as Stony Curtis and even Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones as Mick Jadestone and The Rolling Boulders. I always loved all the musical numbers! Below is a clip of Ann-Margret singing as Ann-Magrock on The Flintstones. Enjoy!
