The famous theme song "Meet the Flintstones" wasn't introduced until season three. The song was first introduced on a children's record, performed by the TV cast, and included verses about Barney and Betty Rubble as well as Dino. The first two seasons used an instrumental piece of music titled "Rise and Shine" that resembled the later Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show theme "Overture." When the series went into syndication, a standardized set of opening and closing credits was used for most episodes in order to remove references to first season sponsor Winston cigarettes, thus all episodes now begin with "Meet the Flintstones". Although "Meet the Flintstones" was not used as the show's theme until season three's debut, Gli antenati: Dino Goes Hollyrock (1962), it was the theme song for the final 106 episodes. The DVD release of season one reveals that the melody of the song was a major part of the show's score as early as the second episode, Gli antenati: The Flintstone Flyer (1960).
