What Season 5 of The Flintstones

Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble are neighbors and best friends in Bedrock, a Stone Age town that resembles mid-20th-century suburbs in the United States. Fred works in a quarry and shares his life with Wilma, while Barney is married to Betty. Amid prehistoric appliances and foot-powered cars, the two friends embark on plans like barbecues or bowling nights, and they almost never work out. Fred's ideas get him into trouble with his boss, with unexpected visitors, and with the Water Buffalo lodge. Wilma and Betty bear the consequences and, deep down, keep their husbands' partnership in crime going.
