==History==
The show was confirmed to be released as an adaption of DC Comics comic book series that had ran for 12 issues from June 6, 2016 to June 7, 2017. It was set to premiere on the HBO Max streaming service in celebration of the 60th anniversary of The Flintstones franchise. Writer Mark Russell uses Bedrock’s most popular family to shine a light on humanity’s ancient customs and institutions in a funny origin story of human civilization. Fred is still the simple man, striving to be the king of his castle; Wilma is still the tolerant but not-indulging wife plus their daughter Pebbles, and Barney, with his wife, Betty and their infant son Bamm-Bamm is still the original wingman, whose loyalty to Fred often outweighs his common sense. This series is notable for taking a more serious approach to the subject matter.
