The Flintstones were originally going to have a son, not a daughter. The family originally consisted of Fred, Wilma, and Fred Jr, seen here in a concept sketch. However, the tyke was ditched when the series began, as the show instead focused on the two adult couples. In season three, the creators decided to give the Flintstones a child. Again, the baby was going to be a boy, until a toy company explained there was much more money to be had selling a girl doll. Thus, Pebbles was born.
