12. Fun Facts
• At first, the Flintstones only had Dino. Pebbles was not
born until 1963.
• 'The Flintstones' wasn't always named 'The
Flintstones.' In the demonstration pilot pitched to ABC,
Fred and Wilma had the last name of Flagstone. After
the series was commissioned by the network, the title
of the show was changed to 'The Gladstones' for a
short period of time to avoid confusion with the
Flagstons of 'Hi and Lois' fame.
• It was the first prime-time TV show.
• The show was inspired by “The Honeymooners.”
