Flintstones…Meet the Flintstones…If you are of a certain age you can finish off the next lines of that theme song with no problem. The Flintstones was a legendary animated cartoon series that first aired in 1960. The series stars the Flintstone family and their neighbors the “Rubbles”. The sitcom was set in a stone-age era with characters that were quasi-like cavemen. It was one of the earliest cartoons to be aimed at Adults with a comical tone but also was appropriate for children.
The Flintstones was ground-breaking as it was the first cartoon series to be shown in primetime on network television. The series was a monster success and has spawned countless spin-offs, movies, and Flintstone products. The characters from the show left a lasting impact on pop culture and the show is a classic American animated series. Let’s meet all the characters in the Flintstones.

The Great Gazoo
The Great Gazoo is a mysterious martian who appears sporadically and can only be seen by Fred and Barney. He was always in his green uniform and had a massive head with little alien antennas.

Sam Slagheap
Sam Slagheap is one of the more famous minor characters in the Flintstones as he is the Grand Poobah of the prestigious Loyal Order Of Water Buffalos.

Pictured here is his very first appearance in the Flintstones but in later episodes, he was much shorter and slimmer.
