The Hatrocks – A family of hillbillies, who feuded with the Flintstones' Arkanstone branch similarly to the Hatfield–McCoy feud. Fred and Barney reignite a feud with them in "The Bedrock Hillbillies", when Fred inherits San Cemente from his late great-great-uncle Zeke Flintstone and they fight over who made Zeke's portrait.
In the fourth-season episode "Bedrock Hillbillies", the feud is ended when Fred helps rescue Pebbles and a Hatrock baby, only to start up again when Fred makes the same joke as his ancestor. The Hatrocks later appear in the follow-up fifth-season episode "The Hatrocks and the Gruesomes", where they visit Bedrock.
Note: This is the first of two appearances by the Hatrocks, who would return in episode 133. The show's title is a spoof of The Beverly Hillbillies; Flintstones Arkanstone "shack" "San Cemente" is a spoof of Richard Nixon home San Clemente; the picture of great-grandmother Mona Hatrock is a spoof of Whistler's Mother.
