Bedrock (The Flintstones) 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 town's most well-known employer, "Slate Rock and Gravel"
The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones Fred and Barney repair their friendship, and George offers his partnership with Mr. Slate to give them their jobs back. Just as they are about to leave for home, Elroy tells them the time machine is broken and cannot be repaired. Fortunately, they're able to return to the Stone Age because Fred's car absorbed the time machine's "quadrapotents". The Flintstones and the Rubbles then bid a fond farewell to the Jetsons and are sent back to the Stone Age. The special is referenced in "The Simpsons" episode "A Star Is Burns". Bart Simpson is watching "The Flintstones Meet the Jetsons"
