The Flintstones will return to TV 59 years to the day it first debuted.

TV Insider can reveal exclusively that America's #1 classic television 
network, MeTV, will begin airing back-to-back episodes weeknights at 
6pm ET/PT, starting Monday, September 30.
 
"The Flintstones represents the essence of MeTV — beloved, family-
friendly, timeless programming," Neal Sabin, Vice-Chairman of Weigel 
Broadcasting Co., said. "No matter the decade, and in this case as far 
back as the Stone Age, MeTV always delivers the classics for our 
audience."

The series first premiered on September 30, 1960 and ran for six 
seasons on ABC. It was the first animated television show to air in 
primetime, helping to pave the way for current hits like The Simpsons 
and Family Guy.
 
The Flintstones was also the first animated program to show a husband 
and wife sharing a bed and to address infertility issues when the 
Rubbles adopted Bamm-Bamm in Season 4. And it was the first animated 
series to receive a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding 
Comedy Series (in 1961, then called Outstanding Program Achievement in 
the Field of Humor).

The Flintstones followed the daily adventures of Fred and Wilma 
Flintstone and their neighbors and best friends, Barney and Betty 
Rubble, in the prehistoric town of Bedrock. It was produced by 
animation studio Hanna-Barbera and aimed at adult audiences.

Celebrity guest stars included Ann-Margret (as Ann-Margrock) and Tony 
Curtis (as Stony Curtis). It also featured celebrity iterations such as 
Cary Grant (Cary Granite), Ed Sullivan (Ed Sullyrock/Sullystone), 
Alfred Hitchcock (Alvin Brickrock), and Rock Hudson (Rock 
Pile/Hudstone).

Two live-action movies, The Flintstones and The Flintstones 2: Viva 
Rock Vegas, were released in 1994 and 2000. A new animated production 
was announced in 2019.

Watching Democrats come up with schemes to "catch Trump" is like
