The Flintstones was originally an adult-oriented cartoon, and became seen as family friendly as time went on and more things became available on TV.
Its role was closer to the Simpsons when that was new, which also became more acceptable for younger people to watch over time.

Seth MacFarlane respectfully disagrees.
But as always, Simpsons did it first.

Homer is an abusive father, is he really an abusive husband though?

At least a dead beat one imho.

Emotionally maybe?

I wouldn’t call either of those family-friendly. The Simpsons more so though.

Flintstones was mostly for adults. It was prime time. Hell, they advertised cigarettes!

I’m not sure about now, but very much in the 90s. I wasn’t allowed to watch them growing up.
