The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show

This is just another example of why in most cases that spin-offs of most classic television series don't work. The thing that I didn't like about it is the fact that Bamm Bamm, who when he was a baby was the strongest boy in the world, is comes off as rather wimpy and let's Pebbles talk him into a lot of her hair brained schemes. Also, the supporting cast was pretty much a carbon copy of a lot of the cast in the various versions of the "Archie" cartoon series. And the plots for many of the episodes of the were so stupid that it is no wonder that it only lasted for one season. However, when "The Flintstone Comedy Hour" premiered the next year, the Pebbles and Bamm Bamm shows were absorbed into this show.

Another thing that gets me is the fact that Pebbles and Bamm Bamm went from toddlers just five years earlier to being teenagers while Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty and Mr. Slate never seemed to age at all.

This is definitely a fun spin-off to the classic Hanna Barbera cartoon, The Flintstones. It holds up well throughout the times, with its humorous characters, amusing stories, and fun adventures that would delight an audience of all ages.

Pebbles, Bamm-Bamm, Fred, Barney, Wilma, and Betty were all memorable characters that will be recognized everywhere and it's a show that will have iconic status for generations to come. It's fun seeing Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm all grown up and off to their own adventures!

I was already familiar with the original Flintstones, and with the characters of Pebbles as a cute little infant girl and Bamm-Bamm as the little infant boy who was strong and clever for his age, though neither learned how to speak yet. And this would of course be the "second generation" (or rather half a one) version, how would they grow up?

Not unsurprisingly it was essentially a teen comedy akin to the Archie comic. But the two characters could have at least retained some characteristics of their old selves. Worst of all was Bamm-Bamm, no longer the strong and clever infant but a rather dense teenager, not even strong like he used to be. No surprise this spinoff did not last.

How come if Pebbles was born in 1963 (airdate time), can she be a teenager by 1971 (airdate time). Chronologically, she would have to be at least 8 years old, if looked at it age-wise. Not even 8 year old had curves (despite the trend in America for underage beauty queen pageants).

H-B execs must have picked it up eventually, but by the time Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm did mature, the continuity was out-of-whack by showing later Flintstones shows with the kids looking different than they were in '71.

I don't know when the marriage of P and B-B was shown, but hopefully the time lines were put back on the correct track.

Sorry to be picky, but i guess the kids (who watch the cartoons)wouldn't pick up on the continuity errors.

I was just a baby when this show came out, so I didn't see it until Cartoon Express played it about 15 years ago or something. I love this show! I especially like the songs. I like the sort of "innocence" of it. Besides, I always had a crush on Jay North, from watching Dennis the Menace re-runs. I haven't had cable for a while now, so I don't even know if it's on anymore, but if it is on, and I had a chance to see it, I could never get tired of it. They need to have more innocent shows like this. I loathe all the new cartoons they have out today. They just aren't the same. The Flinstone's Comedy show also has Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm as older teens, and it's also an excellent show. These are the shows I would like for my kids to see if I ever have any.
