It is a spin-off of The Flintstones, and the third incarnation of the Flintstones franchise.

There were two segments starring Fred and Barney, and one segment starring their teen kids, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm (as a continuation of The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show), along with short jokes, horoscopes and two songs by the kids' new band The Bedrock Rockers shown in-between.
