Los Mármol (The Rubbles in English, Os Rubbles in Portuguese) is a series of 6 animated shorts spun-off from The Flintstones that aired during commercial breaks on the Latin American Cartoon Network in 2002. It is a parody of The Osbournes, a reality show that aired on MTV.[1][dubious – discuss] The titles have been changed to Spanish and Portuguese but all the episodes are in English. The Rubbles was the last Flintstones production until the 2015 direct-to-video film The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age SmackDown! and the first Flintstones project without original creator William Hanna who died in 2001.
