The Flintstones Didn't


Did you know …

That the famous Flintstones family never actually interacted with dinosaurs? It’s true. Or false, as it were.

As it happens, the family that the Flintstones was based on lived in a neighborhood where dinosaurs weren’t allowed. What about their lovable pet dinosaur, Dino, you ask? Dino was actually a human being that they treated like an animal. The producers of the Flintstones animated series made the decision to portray Dino as a dinosaur, because they didn’t think that 1960s audiences were ready for a slobbering, naked man to appear weekly on their television sets.
