Wilma Flintstone (née Slaghoople), is a fictional character in the popular television animated series The Flintstones. She is the red-headed wife of caveman Fred Flintstone and mother of Pebbles Flintstone and a grandmother. Her best friends were her next door neighbors, Betty and Barney Rubble. Wilma lived in the fictional prehistoric city of Bedrock, a world where dinosaurs coexisted with barefoot cavepeople and the cavepeople enjoyed "primitive" versions of modern conveniences such as telephones, automobiles and washing machines. Wilma's personality was based on that of Alice Kramden, wife of Ralph Kramden on the 1950s television series The Honeymooners. Thus, much like Alice, Wilma played the strong-willed, level-headed person in her marriage, often criticizing Fred for pursuing his various ill-fated schemes. Wilma would also often be the one to bail out Fred when one of his schemes landed him in trouble.
