Just curious but what was barney's job on the flintstones?

Question

I know fred worked at at the gravel pit... on some episodes fred always dropped barney off at the corner. Can any body tell me what barney's occupation was?

Answer 1

I thought they worked at the same job, didn;t they?

Answer 2

My guess is Barney was a temp. He was often out of a job at the start of the series. According to fan sites Barney's job was never mentioned although he was frequently unemployed and was hinted at working at a rival quarry before getting a job at Fred's quarry. The show had no real continuity as Mr. Slate's first name changed several times as did Wilma's maiden name.

Answer 3

In the early years of the show, Barney's job was not usually mentioned and there are references to several different jobs (e.g. TV repossessor, geological engineer, short order cook). In the later years he worked with Fred at the quarry although what he did was not clear. In one episode, Mr. Slate made him Fred's boss.

Answer 4

To the best of my Flinstone knowledge,Barney was know on the show to have a job but the show never gave us a name of his employment.However on 1 episode he did get a job with Fred after being layed-off.Cartoon focused mainly on Fred.

Answer 5

Barney also worked at the gravel pit.

Answer 6

IN THE 2 MOVIES BARNEY WORKED WITH FRED.

Answer 7

I believe that they both worked at Mr. Slate's Quarry. Though there were times when Barnery was without work and the Flintstone family helped out where they could, if my memory serves me correctly.

Answer 8

They both worked at the quarry

Answer 9

Not real sure, but he did work in an office
