==Films and subsequent television series== Following the show's cancellation in 1966, a film based upon the series was created. ''[[The Man Called Flintstone]]'' was a [[musical film|musical]] spy caper that parodied [[James Bond]] and other secret agents. The movie was released to theaters on August 3, 1966, by [[Columbia Pictures]].<ref>''The Man Called Flintstone'' (film review). ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'', August 10, 1966</ref> It was released on [[DVD-Video|DVD]] by [[Warner Home Video]] in Canada in March 2005 and in United States in December 2008. The show was [[The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show|revived in the early 1970s]] with Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm having grown into teenagers, and several different series and made-for-TV movies (broadcast mainly on [[Saturday morning cartoon|Saturday mornings]], with a few shown in primetime), including a series depicting Fred and Barney as police officers, another depicting the [[The Flintstone Kids|characters as children]], and yet others featuring Fred and Barney encountering [[Marvel Comics]] superhero [[Thing (comics)|The Thing]] and [[Al Capp]]'s comic strip character [[Shmoo|The Shmoo]]βhave appeared over the years. The original show also was adapted into a [[The Flintstones (film)|live-action film]] in 1994, and a prequel, ''[[The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas]]'', which followed in 2000. Unlike its sister show ''[[The Jetsons]]'' (the two shows appeared in a made-for-TV [[The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones|crossover movie]] in 1987), the revival programs were not widely syndicated or rerun alongside the original series.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}} ===Television series=== '''Original runs''': * ''[[The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show]]'' (1971β72) (one season) * ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Hour]]'' (1972β73) (one season) * ''[[The New Fred and Barney Show]]'' (1979) (two seasons) * ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Show]]'' (1980β81) (two seasons) * ''[[The Flintstone Kids]]'' (1986β88) (two seasons) * ''[[What a Cartoon!]]'' β featuring ''[[Dino: Stay Out!]]'' (1995) and ''[[Dino: The Great Egg-Scape]]'' (1997) * ''[[Cave Kids]]'' (1996) (one season) * ''[[The Rubbles]]'' (2002) (shorts) * ''[[Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs]]'' (2021β22) (two seasons)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://collider.com/boomerang-shows-watch-online/|title=Boomerang Reveals New and Returning Content for Year Two of the Subscription App|website=[[Collider (website)|Collider]]|author=Dave Trumbore|date=May 23, 2018|access-date=May 23, 2018|archive-date=May 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180524081911/http://collider.com/boomerang-shows-watch-online/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="boomerang uk">{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owh5uj4Jbfg&app=desktop| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/Owh5uj4Jbfg| archive-date=2021-12-11 | url-status=live|title=Boomerang UK Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs New Show Promo|publisher=ReguralCapital|date=January 14, 2020|access-date=January 15, 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref> '''Compilation shows''': * ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Hour|The Flintstone Comedy Show]]'' (1973β74) * ''[[Fred Flintstone and Friends]]'' (1977β78) * ''[[Fred and Barney Meet the Thing]]'' (1979) (the only original content on this show was not related to the Flintstones) * ''[[Fred and Barney Meet the Shmoo]]'' (1979β80) (the only original content on this show was not related to the Flintstones) * ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Show#Repackage|The Flintstone Funnies]]'' (1982β84) ===Theatrical animated feature=== * ''[[The Man Called Flintstone]]'' (1966, released by [[Columbia Pictures]]) * ''[[Space Jam: A New Legacy]]'' (2021) -
