Happy 50th Anniversary to...

The FLINTSTONES!!!!


Telegraph.co.uk wrote 15 things you don't know about the Flintstones...here are our top 5:


1. The Flintstones was originally aimed at an adult audience and the first two seasons were co-sponsored by Winston cigarettes.  But by the third season it was being written for children and was sponsored by Welch's, who produced grape juice and jellies.


2.  The furniture in the Flintstones' house changed in almost every episode.




3. The 1959 unaired pilot episode was called the "The Flagstones."


4. Fred and Wilma Flintstone were the first couple to be shown in bed together on prime-time television when the shoe first aired on ABC between 1960 and 1966.


5. The family's barking pet dinosaur, Dino, changed colours throughout the programme.

As Fred Flintstone would say: Yabba dabba doo!
