/ðə ˈflɪntstəʊnz/
- a US comedy cartoon television series (1960-66) about a prehistoric family. The humour comes from the way they behave like modern Americans, using pieces of stone and wood as if they were cars, phones, etc. There was a new series in the 1970s, and a film version of The Flintstones, with real actors, appeared in 1994.
