The Flintstone Comedy Show

The Flintstone Comedy Show brings back the prehistoric family for a two season, 90 minute Saturday morning block. Created by Hanna-Barbera, it aired on NBC starting November 1980 and continued until September 1982. Outside North America the program carried the title Flintstone Frolics. Rather than a single continuous story, the series stitched together six animated segments that let Fred and Wilma, along with Barney and Betty, explore new adventures at Bedrock. The lineup also includes Pebbles, Dino and Bamm-Bamm, plus extra personalities such as Captain Caveman, Dino and Cavemouse, and The Frankenstones, giving kids a varied mix of humor and imagination.

Produced by Hanna-Barbera, The Flintstone Comedy Show was a 90 minute Saturday morning block that aired on NBC from 1980 to 1982. In international markets it was released as Flintstone Frolics.

Audience reaction appears mixed with a mid range score of 6.67 out of 10 from 18 votes. The format blends classic Flintstones humor with new settings and guest characters, emphasizing teamwork, family ties, and light hearted mischief across its six segments.

While not a landmark in pop culture, the show marked a notable attempt to refresh the Flintstones franchise for a new generation. It expanded the universe by introducing recurring features and cross character appearances that echoed in later television specials.
