35 years on, I can honestly say the only appeal to this show is Sally STruthers as the voice of Pebbles and Jay North as Bamm Bamm. It just makes for a fitting combination.
Strangely enough, the show doesn't have any hippie feel to it; it is more American Graffiti (which didn't come about until two years later), with hamburger joint hangouts and hot-rod races.
Odd that the cartoon wasn't considered a clone of Scooby Doo, with Pebbles (Daphne Blake), Bamm Bamm (Freddie Jones) and Penny (Velma Dinkle).
The big gripe at the time was that it had only been five or six years since The Flintstones went off the air, so how did Pebbles and Bamm Bamm age so quickly, but then Lisa Hartman became Tabitha Stephens in less than ten years after Bewitched went off the air. Don't think she was the right age either.
But never mind. 35 years on. My, my.
I still recall so many adventures, and clearly some of them were from these future Pebbles and Bamm Bamm - Flintstone hours or whatever they were.
Having recorded several of them off of Cartoon Network, two that always stood out for being good or bad, were Pebbles thinking that Mrs. Creeply had taken Wilma's birthday present.
Love those cuh-RAZY disguises. Barney, what is wrong with this younger generation! And "Golden Voice" where Bamm Bamm can sing (?) but only when he is in the show, then he keeps getting medinical cures and repeats himself or talks like he has a frog in his voice, or has been inhaling helium.
LIke all those Scooby Doo clones (Speed Buggy, Captain Caveman, Josie and the Pussycats, Funky Phantom, etc.), if you just can't get enough of the Flintstones from their six year primetime run, then venture toward these efforts.
"You'll see Fred and Barney too, yabba dabba doo, on the Pebbles and Bamm Bamm show!"
