The extremely famous, universally-memorized Flintstones opening theme song (“Flintstones / meet the Flintstones / they’re the modern Stone Age family…”) wasn’t used until the show’s second season. Before that, they used this one, lost to history.

From the middle of nowhere in the Pacific Northwest, I contribute to the Retroist, write for trivia publications, and blog about music in a humorous fashion. I feel about "Back to the Future" the way you feel about "Star Wars." Also, I'm married and have a child (sorry ladies, orphans).

Sort of Simpsons-esque, with his ride home.
Not lost to history – this appears on the DVD set for season one.
And to Wings: The Simpsons are very much modeled after The Flintstones – also compare the conceptual parallels in Groening’s second animated venture Futurama with HB’s Jetsons (both space/future concepts.)
True on Flint/Simp & Future/Jetsons :) – Never thought of either before – Doh ;)
@ bubbashelby: And The Flintstones themselves, of course, were based on Jackie Gleason’s The Honeymooners.
