Supplemental context
The Flintstones uses an invented prehistoric setting for a television sitcom. Its comic anachronisms can teach future readers about the modern domestic conventions being reimagined, rather than about prehistoric life. Particular episodes, voice casts and broadcast versions should be identified when preserving the series.
Creator/community: William Hanna, Joseph Barbera and television production collaborators Place/era: United States; animated sitcom first broadcast in 1960
Context and limits
The stone living room is an original whimsical interpretation, not an episode frame, official set or reconstruction of ancient housing. The source’s catchphrase remains in its archival quotation; no new dialogue or soundtrack is reproduced.
