Television Specials
Another version of the Frankenstones moves next door in the September 1980 television special The Flintstones' New Neighbors. This time, the family consists of:
- Frank Frankenstone
- Oblivia Frankenstone, his wife
- Hidea Frankenstone, their daughter who resembles the original Atrocia, except that Atrocia has pale blue/white hair and seems very light on her feet
- Frankenstub Frankenstone, who closely resembles Freaky
Again, the family is odd, but there does not seem to be any animosity between the Frankenstones and the Flintstones, and Frank's voice is still patterned after Boris Karloff. This version of the Frankenstones appears in The Flintstones: Fred's Final Fling in November 1980. They are not to be confused with the Frankenstone "monster" that appears in-between in the Halloween special, The Flintstones Meet Rockula and Frankenstone.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
