16. Didn’t The Flintstones originally have a son?
In the show, no. In press ads and a Little Golden Book, The Flintstones had a son named Fred Jr. It was decided that The Flintstones would have a girl because Hanna-Barbera could make money off of toy dolls.
Yowp made a comment that I'd like to repeat:
Yowp says:
A son on the Flintstones (the idea of a Stone Age boy was taken from a Ruff and Reddy adventure) was on the drawing board when the show was in development but abandoned, presumably at the story stage, in 1960. He is still featured in some publicity drawings.

Where did
Barney Rubble Work?
This is a mystery to all Flintstone fans. Barney’s occupation is unknown throughout the original series. Early in the show, he worked at the
Granite Building. In later spin-offs, he worked with Fred at the quarry.
18. Who is the real creator for Bugs Bunny?
The Chuck Jones Gallery in Costa Mesa suggested this one. There had been cartoons featuring a prototype in the past. However, it is not Bugs Hardaway. Tex Avery is who created Bugs Bunny. Wild Hare is the first cartoon that features Bugs Bunny.

What is
the name of the red hairy monster in the Looney Tunes Cartoons?
His name is Gossamer. He appeared in two Bugs Bunny shorts. The first was
Hair Raising Hare and the season is Water, Water, Every Hare. Gossamer didn’t
have a name until Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2th Century which was
released in the early 80s.
Yowp also points out:
In "Water, Water, Every Hare," the monster's name was Rudolph. Chuck Jones invented a bunch of names years later for characters that were supposedly nameless.

20. Is The Flintstones a rip-off of The Honeymooners?
No. The Flintstones is certainly based on The Honeymooners, but it is not a rip-off. A rip-off would imply that it is basically the same thing. It’s not. Many Hanna-Barbera shows originated as a spoof of something else. Yogi Bear is Art Carney while his name is based on Yogi Berra. The Jetsons is based on Blondie. The Flintstones is very similar to the Honeymooners and certainly was based on it. In my opinion, It is not a rip-off but it certainly has quite a few similarities.
