Fred is a typical blue-collar worker who works as a "Bronto-Crane operator" at Slate Rock and Gravel Company (a.k.a. Rockhead and Quarry Cave Construction Company in the earliest episodes). However, when their children became teenagers, Fred and Barney joined the Bedrock police force, but when they went into adulthood and moved away, Fred went back...
Childhood
Not much is known about Fred's life growing up, and while the mid-1980s spin-off series The Flintstone Kids depicts Fred as a child, the series seems to be mostly apocryphal as it features many inconsistencies. In most media, Fred was born to two loving parents, Edna Hardrock, a very affectionate mother who loved taking pictures of her son as a baby and making him seaweed fricassee, and Ed Flintstone, a playful and easygoing father who loved spending time with his son and playing with his toy...
Love & Marriage
Fred and Barney would first meet their future wives Wilma and Betty at the Honeyrock Hotel sixteen years prior to the episode "Bachelor Daze" (although "Fred Strikes Out"implies they may have met before then as children, possibly having lost track of each other after childhood or simply the result of a retcon). There, Fred and Barney had just started working as bellboys, and it was also the day Fred had received his first razor blade from his father. One day, they were goofing off and pretend...
Moving to Bedrock
After marriage and moving into Bedrock, Fred got a job at Slate Rock and Gravel Company years prior to the episode, "The Missing Bus," where he would begrudgingly remain from then on (although how many years he's worked there varies between media, usually around ten years or less). With their new home and jobs in place, Fred and Barney would spend most of their lives going through many shenanigans and trials. At the same time, Fred also tried to balance out his married life, often trying to a...
Family
According to The Flintstone Kids (which is non-canon as the show is more 80s-centric and features all the characters knowing each other as kids, but still features the accurate names of the parents of characters such as Wilma's), he is shown to be the son of Ed and Edna Flintstone. In the special, The Flintstone Kids' "Just Say No" Special, it is shown that he has a cool cousin from Hollyrock who has a band of his own and not only doesn'tuse drugs, he is in a "Just Say No" club, eventually in...
Love Interests
Fred mainly has been shown to be faithful to his wife, Wilma, but this has not stopped him from being attracted to other women. Examples of this include Sharon Stone, his gorgeous secretary in the 1994 film, The Flintstones, who often seduced him to distract him while she and his villainous boss, Cliff, framed him for embezzlement. Fred very clearly enjoyed being seduced by the beautiful woman and was even caught in the middle of a very "intimate" moment with her by his furious wife. Other ex...

- ORIGINALLY, THE FLINTSTONES WERE THE FLAGSTONES. Joe Barbera thought about calling the show The Gladstones, then decided on The Flagstones until he realized there was a comic strip with the same name.
- BARNEY AND FRED WERE DRAWN TO RESEMBLE CAVE PEOPLE. Ed Benedict was one of The Flintstones’s designers. He told Hogan’s Alley that he sketched the characters to look like “cave people wearing long beards, with scraggly, unkempt hair and in slightly distorted, hunched-over shapes.”
- ALAN REED INVENTED “YABBA DABBA DOO.” Flintstones source WebRockOnline says the origin of Fred’s iconic “Yabba dabba doo” catchphrase came from Alan Reed, who voiced Fred, and reportedly used the line during a recording session.
- THE FLINTSTONES DIDN’T COPY THE HONEYMOONERS. It’s true that Fred was based on Jackie Gleason’s Honeymooners character Ralph Kramden, but Joe Barbera made him different.
Much like Ralph, Fred tends to be loud-mouthed, aggressive, temperamental and constantly scheming ways to improve his family's working class lot in life, often with unintended results.
- "Hello, Dumb Dumb!" Gazoo.
- "Charge It!" Wilma Flintstone And Betty Rubble. Though it may have been an animated series, The Flintstones also functioned primarily as a primetime sitcom.
- "Yabba Dabba Goo!" Pebbles Flintstone. The arrival of Pebbles Flintstone was obviously a huge moment in the series and one that provided a number of the most memorable The Flintstones quotes.
- "Actually, More Like A Pebble Off The Ol' Flintstone." Barney Rubble. Fred: "Aww, she looks like a chip off the ol' block." Barney: "Actually, more like a pebble off the ol' flintstone."
