An hour-long television series in the Flintstones franchise, featuring characters previously introduced in "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show". Each episode featured two short tales focusing on the duo of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, longtime best friends and co-workers. Another short tale focused on the romantic couple of Pebbles Flintstone and Bamm-Bamm Rubble, and on their teen friends Moonrock Crater, Penny Pillar, and Wiggy Rockstone.

The second half-hour of the show mixed new tales with reruns from "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show". In 1973, the show was re-tooled into the half-hour version "The Flintstone Comedy Show".
