The Flintstones (2012 TV series) (Johnsonverse)

The Flintstones is an American animated series based on the 1960-1966 television series of the same name by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. The series takes place one year after the events of A Flintstone Family Christmas (1993), and is more adult-oriented (though still family-friendly in tone), like in the first two seasons of the original series.
First announced in 2010, the series was produced by Hanna-Barbera and aired on WBC from September 9, 2012 to May 16, 2021. The series received positive reviews and high ratings throughout its run.

* Fred Flintstone (Jeff Bergman) is the series' protagonist. A bumbling, short-tempered man who always comes up with crazy schemes, Fred is nonetheless a loving husband, father and grandfather.

* Stony Flintstone (Candi Milo) is Fred and Wilma’s adoptive son.

* Betty Rubble (B. J. Ward) is Barney's emotional wife, Wilma's best friend, and Bamm-Bamm's adoptive mother.
*Dino (Mel Blanc; archive audio) is the Flintstones' pet dinosaur.
* Baby Puss (Frank Welker) is the Flintstones' pet tiger. He is mostly seen locking Fred out of the house in the closing credits.
* Pebbles Flintstone-Rubble (Megan Mullally) is Fred and Wilma's daughter and the wife of Bamm-Bamm.
* Bamm-Bamm Rubble (Frank Welker) is Barney and Betty's adopted son and the husband of Pebbles.

===Casting===
Many voice actors in the series reprise their roles from other media. Frank Welker and B. J. Ward reprise their roles as Barney and Betty Rubble, while Pebbles is voiced by Megan Mullally, reprising her role from the specials I Yabba-Dabba Do!, Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby, and A Flintstone Family Christmas, all released in 1993. John Stephenson reprises his role as Mr. Slate from the original series, the only original cast member to do so. For the role of Dino, Frank Welker was originally considered before it was decided to use archived recordings of the late Mel Blanc, who voiced the character in the original series and various spin-offs throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Bamm-Bamm is voiced by Welker, replacing Jerry Houser (who had retired from acting). Candi Milo voices Fred and Wilma's adopted son Stony due to the retirement of original voice actor Christine Cavanaugh from voice acting in 2002 and her subsequent death in 2014; the third season finale featured a dedication to Cavanaugh.
