What Parents Need to Know
About The Flintstone Kids
Parents need to know that this iteration of The Flintstones (which originally aired in the mid-'80s) features everyone's favorite prehistoric pals as kids. There's no educational content to speak of, but the series does offer kid-relatable concepts and some decent humor. On the downside, there's a fair amount of bullying between the two main groups of kids.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the differences between being a kid and being a grown-up. How do you change as you get older? How are the Flintstone kids similar to the adult characters in the original series? How are they different? For young viewers, parents can ask questions about the "appliances" Fred and the gang use in their everyday lives -- where do you think animators got their ideas for the funny, animal-powered inventions?
