The Flintstones Frequently
      Asked Questions List


      9. Didn't the Flintstones orginally have a son?

        A boy named Junior was included in the series' press release and in a Little Golden Book adventure (as well as on some advance merchandise related to the program), but never on the actual show.

        When the decision was made in 1962 to give the Flintstones a little bundle of joy, the child was going to be a boy--until it was realized that a girl would translate into major merchandising by way of dolls (which Pebbles subsequently did).
