The Flintstones is an animated American television sitcom that ran from 1960 to 1966 on
ABC.
Produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions (H-B), The Flintstones is about a working class Stone Age man's life with his family and his next door neighbor and best friend. The first prime time animated series geared for adults, the show originally aired from 1960 to 1966, on the ABC network. It was also ABC's first series to be televised in color. While the show was originally co-produced and syndicated by Screen Gems, Warner Bros. Television later acquired the rights, through parent Time Warner's purchase of Turner Broadcasting System and its properties, including H-B.
Screen Gems / Columbia Pictures Television syndicated repeats of the program until 1981, when The Program Exchange picked up syndication on Columbia's behalf. Syndication later moved in the mid-1990s to Turner Program Services, shortly after Turner's acquisition of H-B, and its acquisition of The Flintstones from Columbia.
