Fredrick F.(sometimes J. and W.) Flintstone was born February 2, to Ed and Edna Flintstone.  He is related to Zeke Flintstone, Giggles Flintstone, Uncle Tex, Aunt Jamina and Cousins Tumbleweed and Mary Lou Jim.  He is the father of Pebbles Flintstone, best friends with Barney Rubble, son in law to Mrs. Slaghoople and married to the former Wilma Slaghoople.

It changes significantly throughout the show exactly where Fred and Wilma met.   In the original series episode, “Love Letters On The Rocks”, it is stated that Fred and Wilma attended Boulder High School together, where Fred was a baseball player.  Fred asked Wilma out when he was sixteen by romancing her with corny poetry. “…and eyes so black….like frying pans?”  Their meeting is contradicted in the later episodes, “Flintstone Of Prinstone” and  ”Bachelor Daze.”

Fred is an impatient man who works hard as a Dino Operator at a quarry.  He loves to eat and bowl on tiptoe.  His other hobbies include playing pool and golfing with rich rookies.  His famous saying, “Yaba Daba Doo” was spoken by Neil Armstrong as he walked on the moon in 1969.
