The Flintstone Primetime Specials (onscreen title: The Flintstone Special) is a four-episode limited-run prime time television revival of The Flintstones produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions which aired on NBC from September 26, 1980 to October 11, 1981.
The Flintstones' New Neighbors and Jogging Fever episodes were animated at Filman, an animation studio in Madrid, Spain (headed by Carlos Alfonso and Juan Pina) who did a lot of animation work for Hanna-Barbera between the early 1970s through the mid-1980s. Among their credits were such series as Yogi's Space Race, Buford and the Galloping Ghost, The Little Rascals, Paw Paws, The Smurfs and The Jetsons (1980s revival) as well as the specials The Harlem Globetrotters Meet Snow White and Yogi's First Christmas.
All specials utilized a an inferior laugh track created by the studio, the last production to do so.
On October 9, 2012, Warner Archive released all six specials on DVD in region 1 as part of their Hanna-Barbera Classics Collection in a release entitled The Flintstones Prime-Time Specials Collection: Volume 1 and 2.
