0 September 1960 - 'THE FLINTSTONES' PREMIERES ON ABC: The first
animated primetime sitcom debuts, introducing viewers to Fred Flintstone
and his modern stone-age family. The show will run for six seasons, but
spinoffs-and vitamins-will keep the franchise rolling for more than five
decades.

Producers William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, who had earned seven Academy
Awards for Tom and Jerry, and their staff faced a challenge in
developing a thirty-minute animated program with one storyline that fit
the parameters of family-based domestic situation comedy of the era.
After considering several settings and selecting the Stone Age, one of
several inspirations was The Honeymooners (in itself traceable to The
Bickersons and Laurel and Hardy), which Hanna freely praised as one of
the finest comedies on television. The show's animation required a
balance of visual as well as verbal storytelling that the studio created
and others imitated.
