About Fred Flintstone
The Flintstones is a parody of life in the suburbs of 20th Century middle-class with Americans going through their daily routines with full gusto. It’s an everyday drama of seemingly trivial conflicts among neighbors and family members parallel to the modern day sitcoms prevailing in that era like The Honeymooners. The Flintstones, with Fred Flintstone at the head of the Jurassic herd, romp and stomp their way through insignificant issues related to daily life in the quaint little town of Bedrock.
Fittingly, prehistoric mammoths like dinosaurs and other long-extinct animals are shown co-existing with the Flintstone and the Rubble families. As the leading character, Fred Flintstone is extremely vocal and tends to be aggressive. Despite looking harsh in his demeanor, he is actually benevolent and friendly with a loving heart. Fred is often a source of annoyance to Wilma his wife because of his immature behavior. Yet, he goes all the way to make up for his brusque behavior and obduracy which often cause him to end up on the wrong end of things.
