Fred Flintstone
Frederick “Fred” Flintstone, also known as Fred W. Flintstone or Frederick J. Flintstone, is the protagonist of the animated sitcom The Flintstones, which aired during prime-time on ABC during the original series' run from 1960 to 1966. He is the husband of Wilma Flintstone and father of Pebbles Flintstone. His best friends are his next door neighbors, Barney and Betty Rubble, who have an adopted son named Bamm-Bamm.
Fred lives in the fictional prehistoric town of Bedrock, a world where dinosaurs coexist with modernized cavepeople and the cavepeople enjoy "primitive" versions of modern conveniences such as telephones, automobiles, and washing machines. Flintstone's catchphrase is "yabba dabba doo!", which is also heard at the beginning of the theme song and the film.
Fred's address has varied through the series' run, including 345 Cave Stone Road, 1313 Cobblestone Way, and 222 Rocky Way.
Fred has since appeared in various other cartoon spinoffs, live action adaptations and commercials.
