The Flintstone Kids is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera. It is an alternative incarnation of the studio's original animated series The Flintstones. The series depicts juvenile versions of the main characters from the original show. It aired from September 6, 1986 to May 21, 1988 on ABC and as part of the weekday/weekend morning programming block The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. Unlike the previous shows, this was the first Flintstone series not to have a laugh track.

Overview

The program follows the adventures of Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Wilma Slaghoople, Betty McBricker and Dino as tweens as they share their preadolescence with their friends Nate Slate, Philo Quartz, and Dreamchip Gemstone and deal with their bully Rocky Ratrock and his group consisting of Tommy, Flab Slab, Janet Granite, and Rocky's dog Stalagbite.

Segments

This series featured the following segments:

• The Flintstone Kids: The "main" story of the show. It would either be a single full-length episode or be split into two different stories.
• Flintstone Funnies: Freddy, Barney, Wilma and Betty dream of exciting fantasy adventures. This segment was dropped in the second season.
• Dino's Dilemmas: The adventures and misadventures of Freddy's pet dinosaur Dino.
• Captain Caveman and Son: The adventures of Captain Caveman with his son Cavey Jr. as they fight bad guys like the evil genius Mr. Bad. This segment was actually a "show within a show" whereby Captain Caveman and Son is a TV show watched by the main characters, where the "fourth wall" is broken frequently.
