Bedrock (The Flintstones) Mississippi but never got past the initial planning stage. Bedrock (The Flintstones) Bedrock is the fictional prehistoric city which is home to the characters of the animated television series The Flintstones. Though the first two seasons' opening credits of the original "Flintstones" series stated the town's population as only 2,500 people (though it did swell to 30,000 in a dream sequence in the sixth-season episode entitled "Rip Van Flintstone"), Bedrock was generally presented as a medium-sized American city, with all the amenities of such, but with a "prehistoric" twist. For instance, sauropod dinosaurs were seen being used as cranes at
The Gruesomes (The Flintstones) skin and red hair shown previously on "The Flintstones"), and speaks with a faux-Transylvanian accent instead of a high-pitched voice. It is this version of the character that the modern-age villainous "Laff-A-Lympics" character Mrs. Creepley is based upon. The Gruesomes are replaced in later spin-off series by The Frankenstones, another monster-themed family who move next door to the Flintstones. In 1977, a family similar to the Gruesomes were introduced as part of the "Laff-A-Lympics" segment on "Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics". The Creepleys consist of Mr. Creepley (voiced by Don Messick), Mrs. Creepley (voiced by Laurel Page), and their son Junior Creepley
