Notes

• This series is part of a popular fad in the 80's in which studios had begun to create shows featuring younger versions of established cartoon characters.
• A PSA commercial for seat belt safety was created based on The Flintstone Kids, and ran for several years after the show concluded its run. ^{[citation needed]}

Since the 1980s, there have been many television shows that have featured famous and well-known cartoon characters (Scooby-Doo, Bugs Bunny, etc. ...

Goofs

• Rocky Ratrock's real first name is said to be Francis in Season 1, but in the Season 2 episode "Rocky's Rocky Road", Rocky's mother says his first name is Rockford.

Controversy and discontinuity

The series has "retconned" many aspects of the original show leading some fans to question its canonicity. In the original Flintstones series, conflicting accounts of Fred and Wilma's first meeting are given. In the episode "Love Letters On The Rocks" it is indicated that Wilma and Fred knew each other as teenagers and attended the same high school while a later episode, "Bachelor Daze", had them meet as young adults. Also in the original series, Dino first appeared in the episode "The Snorkasaurus Hunter" (even though his character was in the opening credits of every episode prior), whereas this series has him as Fred's childhood pet.

There are many elements of the show that have been incorporated into subsequent Flintstone productions, leading to the conclusion that Hanna-Barbera is treating this series as canon. For example, one of the characters originating in this series, Philo Quartz, later appeared as an adult in A Flintstones Christmas Carol from 1994. Also, this was the first series in which Wilma's last name was expressly stated as Slaghoople whereas the original series had it as Pebble. This name change was also carried over.
