Sorry, Edward, but, quoting from a book called Total Television by Alex McNeil:
"...Set in the Stone Age, the Flintstones was little more than an animated
version of the Honeymooners--the voices of the characters were similar to those
of the Honeymooners, and the Flintstones' cave even resembled the Kramdens'
apartment."

This is far from a new concept.
