No, that would be America's The Simpsons family. They are the second longest running cartoon family after Japan's Sazae-san.
The Flinstones, only ran for 6 seasons. There are a few more Cartoons that contained families that ran longer then The Flintstones. To name one, The Pickles from Rugrats ran for 9 seasons lasting 12 years.

- Arthur (in its 20th season)
- Family Guy (15th season concluded in May 2017)
- South Park (20th season concluded in December & renewed through its 23rd)
- American Dad (in its 13th season)

∙ 6y agoNo. It's not even close to being the 2nd longest running cartoon. It's a little deceiving since it's been on the air longer than it's been producing new episodes. SpongeBob SquarePants premiered in 1999 so it's been airing for 19 years (as of May 2018) but has only produced 10 complete seasons of episodes w/ Season 11 beginning in June 2017.
Even counting how long it's been on the air, it's not the second longest running animated TV show.
- Sazae-San is the longest running cartoon. (Debuting in 1969)
- The Simpsons is the second longest running cartoon having concluded their 30th Season in May 2019. (Debuting in December 1989)
- South Park concluded its 21st Season in December 2017. (Debuting in 1997)
- Arthur concluded its 21st Season in February 2018. (Debuting in 1996)
- Family Guy concluded its 16th Season in May 2018. (Debuting in 1999)
- American Dad began its 14th season in February 2018. (Debuting in 2005)
- King of the Hill aired for 13 seasons. (Debuting in 1997)
The only show that shows any sign of stopping (As of January 2017) is of course King of the Hill which ended in 2010.
