Which classic sitcom is often cited as the inspiration for 'The Flintstones'?

TV has come a long way since the days of bulky sets and limited programming. Now we stream entire seasons on our phones while waiting for coffee. But some shows from the "good old days" still hold a special place in our hearts.
Take our favorite Stone Age family, for instance. They've been entertaining us for generations with their foot-powered cars and prehistoric puns. From "Yabba Dabba Doo!" to chewable vitamins, the Flintstones have left a dinosaur-sized footprint on pop culture.
Now, here's where things get interesting. Hanna-Barbera, the studio behind this animated gem, never officially admitted to "borrowing" ideas. But let's be real – the similarities between the Flintstones and a certain live-action sitcom are about as subtle as a brontosaurus in a china shop. Wink, wink!
Can you guess the hit TV show our favorite animal-print-wearing family is allegedly based on?

Correct Answer: The Honeymooners
The answer is: The Flintstones. Many say 'The Flintstones' took a prehistoric page from 'The Honeymooners,' with Fred and Barney as the stone-age Ralph and Ed. While Hanna-Barbera never confirmed this, Jackie Gleason was reportedly ready to sue over the similarities.Source
