September 30 is the 50th anniversary of one of the world’s most love cartoon series, The Flintstones.
To celebrate this historic moment, Google made a Google Doodle commemorating The Flintstones 50th Anniversary. The Flintstones Google Doodle will be shown the whole day of September 30.
A half century ago, Fred and Wilma Flintstone and neighbors Barney and Betty Rubble put the mythical town of Bedrock on the map when “The Flintstones” cartoon aired on US television for the first time.
The show, which parodied suburban life in the United States, was the longest-running US animated sitcom to be aired during peak viewing hours on television until another cartoon family, the Simpsons, claimed the record in 1997.
The series aired weekday evenings for 30 minutes on prime time television on the ABC network from 1960-1966, and NBC showed reruns on Saturday mornings from 1967-1970.
Created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, The Flintstones' had cartoon appeal for kids, while its satirical dialogue appealed to grown-ups.
The show is set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock. (In some of the earlier episodes, it was also referred to as "Rockville"). In this fantasy version of the past, dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, and other long extinct animals co-exist with barefoot cavemen. Like their 20th century peers, these cavemen listen to records, live in split-level homes, and eat out at restaurants, yet their technology is made entirely from pre-industrial materials and largely powered through the use of various animals. For example, the cars are made out of stone, wood, and animal skins, and powered by the passengers' feet.
