the first offering from the new company was "the ruff & reddy show", a series which detailed the friendship between a dog and cat. despite a lukewarm response for their first theatrical venture, "loopy de loop", hanna-barbera soon established themselves with two successful television series: "the huckleberry hound show" and "the yogi bear show". a 1960 survey showed that half of the viewers of "huckleberry hound" were adults. this prompted the company to create a new animated series, "the flintstones". a parody of "the honeymooners", the new show followed a typical stone age family with home appliances, talking animals, and celebrity guests. with an audience of both children and adults, "the flintstones" became the first animated prime-time show to be a hit. fred flintstone's signature exclamation ""yabba dabba doo"" soon entered everyday usage, and the show boosted the studio to the top of the tv cartoon field. the company later produced a space-age version of "the flintstones", known as "the jetsons". although both shows reappeared in the 1970s and 1980s, "the flintstones" was far more popular.
