Betty Rubble is a fictional character in the television animated series The Flintstones and its spin-offs and live-action motion pictures. She is the black-haired wife of caveman Barney Rubble and the adoptive mother of Bamm-Bamm Rubble . Her best friend is her next-door neighbor Wilma Flintstone .

Much like Trixie or Ethel, Betty spent a lot of her time socializing with Wilma, and ...

Barney Rubble is a fictional character who appears in the television animated series The Flintstones . He is the diminutive, blond-haired caveman husband of Betty Rubble and adoptive father of Bamm-Bamm Rubble . His best friend is his next door neighbor, Fred . Barney's personality was based on that of Ed Norton on the 1950s television series The Honeymooners , played by Art Carney . Like Ralph Kramden on The Honeymooners, Fred was constantly on the lookout for get-rich-quick schemes , while Barney, like Norton, found life satisfactory as it was, but participated in said schemes because Fred was his friend. Usually, after Fred had hatched one of his plans, Barney showed his agreement by laughing and saying, "uh hee hee hee... OK, Fred!" or "hee hee hee... whatever you say, Fred!" In early episodes, Barney had a New Jersey accent but was soon changed to a deeper, more chuckle-like voice. In "On the Rocks" and the late 2000s his Jersey ac...

These cars are large wooden and rock structures and burn no fuel. They are powered by people who run while inside them. This depiction is inconsistent, however. On some occasions, the cars are known to have engines (with appropriate sound-effects), requiring ignition keys and gasoline. (Fred might pull into a gas station, and say, "Fill 'er up with Ethel ." Which, of course, is pumped through the trunk of a woolly mammoth marked "ETHEL.") Whether the car runs by foot or by gas varies according to the needs of the story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flintstones#Overview ------------------------------ The Flintstones  is an American  animated sitcom  produced by  Hanna-Barbera Productions .
