The Flintstones


 

Trivia

While The Flintstones is generally considered the first cartoon to air in prime time, it was preceded by The Gerald McBoing-Boing Show, a cartoon based on an Academy Award-winning animated short. This half-hour show ran for a few months on Friday nights on CBS in 1958. However, it was a repeat of cartoons that had aired on Sunday afternoons in 1956. The Flintstones remains the first cartoon to have original programming aired in prime time.
