Título original: The Flintstones
Fue emitida por primera vez en la cadena estadounidense ABC el 30 de septiembre de 1960. Consta de 166 episodios. La acción tiene lugar en la Edad de Piedra,en un pueblo llamado Piedradura ("Bedrock"), pero presenta una sociedad idéntica a la americana de mediados del siglo pasado. En un mundo fantástico los dinosaurios, los tigres dientes de sable, los mamuts y otros animales hoy extintos coexistían con los hombres. La tecnología es similar a la del siglo XX, pero son animales los que sustituyen a los aparatos eléctricos. Los personajes conducen automóviles formados por troncos de madera (troncomóviles), ruedas de piedra, en los que el motor era sustituido por el empuje de los pies de sus ocupantes. Las vestimentas eran de piel animal.

La Primera Maravillosa Temporada de Los Picapiedra (1960) Los Picapiedra es una serie de televisión estadounidense creada por Joe Ruby y Dan Gordon y producida por Hanna-Barbera Productions. Estrenada en septiembre de 1960, la serie no es una secuela, precuela ni spin-off de otra serie, sino una creación original (Ruby & Gordon, 1960). La serie Los Picapiedra gira en torno a dos personajes principales: Fred Flintstone y Barney Rubble. Ambos son vecinos, amigos inseparables y compañeros de trabajo en la cantera de piedra vivida en la prehistórica Piedra Town. Aunque situada en una época prehistórica, la serie mezcla elementos cómicos, románticos e incluso filosóficos con un estilo gráfico y animación vanguardista (Barr, 1965). Los Picapiedra no está basada en ningún libro. Sin embargo, el creador Joe Ruby ha declarado que se inspiró en los cortometrajes de Laurel y Hardy, especialmente en su interacción y comedia sencilla (Ruby & Gordon, 1960). Los Picapiedra está dirigida a todos los públicos, particularmente a los espectadores que disfrutan del humor sencillo y familiar. Su audiencia principal consiste en familias con niños de edades comprendidas entre 5 y 12 años (Nielsen Media Research, 1960). Algunos momentos destacados de la primera temporada incluyen: - El episodio piloto "A Rockin' Good Time" (episodio 1x01) donde Fred y Barney se encuentran por primera vez en la cantera. - "Pebbles of the Neolithic Age" (episodio 1x24) donde Pebbles, hija de Fred, es nacida y Barney se convierte en su padrino. - "Dreams and Nightmares" (episodio 1x09) donde Fred y Barney tienen sueños extraños que reflejan sus deseos ocultos. Los personajes principales de Los Picapiedra son Fred Flintstone, interpretado por John Allen, y Barney Rubble, doblado por Mel Blanc. Fred es un hombre fuerte, amable pero algo tontaquedónico, mientras que Barney es un compañero fiel, ingenioso y a veces un poco engreido (Barr, 1965). La prensa especializada ha elogiado las actuaciones de Allen y Blanc por su perfecto equilibrio entre comedia física y diálogo cómico. La revista TV Guide calificó sus interpretaciones como "una joya del mundo de la animación" (TV Guide, 1960). Los Picapiedra consta de solo una temporada en 1960 con un total de 39 episodios. Hoy en día, sigue siendo una clásica de la televisión estadounidense y ha inspirado numerosas secuelas y adaptaciones (Barr, 1965). Aunque no hay noticias confirmadas de una nueva temporada o producción en curso, Los Picapiedra sigue siendo un clásico de la televisión estadúnidense que continúa delagando a generaciones.
