What was the Best Spinoff of "The Flintstones"?

[Sitcomwriter]

There were a bunch but my favorite was "The Flintstone Family Adventures" with Dino gone (Replaced by Schmoo).It stayed true to the original unlike the others.

The worst was "Pebbles,Bamm-Bamm and Dino" which was a Scooby-doo clone.

And even though Frank was annoying "The Frankenstones" wasn't that bad etheir.

[TV Guy]

I'm partial to "Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm", the full-length shows from the early 70s (not the shorts shown as part of "The Flintstones Comedy Show"). I like the supporting characters (Penny, Wiggy, Moonrock, Schleprock), and the stories are good, too. Best of all, most of the original voices are still around, with the exception of Betty. There's nothing worse than hearing Henry Corden do Fred, but for P&B, Alan Reed was still alive, and Fred still sounded like himself.

Did the Gruesomes ever have their own show? They were so awesome!

[Tiger32]

TV Guy, I liked Pebbles and Bam Bam too. It has been many years since I have seen that cartoon, but I believe that Pebbles and Bam Bam were also part of a band. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

It was nice to see Pebbles and Bam Bam all grown up and still together.

[hch]

Pebbles and Bamm Bamm was the BOMB! It was a great way to incorporate Pebbles and Bamm Bamm into the world of "The Flintstones". Hell, they even got married in a cartoon movie. I wish that they made another live-action "Flintstones" movie, this time focusing on the teenagers. I already have the cast dreamed up in my head:

Pebbles Flintstone: REESE WITHERSPOON

Bamm-Bamm Rubble: MARK WAHLBERG

Moonrock: WES BENTLEY

Wiggy: LISA KUDROW

Penny: GABRIELLE UNION ("Bring it On" fame) or RAH DIGGA (hey, she was funny on "13 Ghosts")

The grownups should be played by the original cast from the 1994 film, to sort of bring the film series full circle.

Hell, It'll be a great movie.

i liked one of the teenage shows, can't remember the exact name. but there was a character named schleprock who always had negative things happening to him and a dark cloud that followed him everywhere. i could be getting the character's name wrong. and also i liked the flintstone kids.

[couchpotatoe]

My favorite was "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show" too.
I liked their friends,and Pebbles was like Fred having all these crazy ideas.She'd always wind up getting the others,mostly Bamm-Bamm,into some kind of mess.
I remember one where she wants to show up another girl,by proving she's a great artist.Her attempts at sculpturing a masterpiece fail.
So she dunks Bamm-Bamm in a tub of putty!
Trapped in a hardened coat of cement,he has no choice but to go along with her plan.
She passes poor Bamm-Bamm off as her statue and he is stolen!
Ofcourse Pebbles and the gang have to save him.

Sadly, Ive never seen a Flintstones spin-off.
But they all seem good.

I love the theme song to another spin-off called "The Flintstones Comedy Show". It has different lyrics and variations than the "Pebbles and Bam Bam Show". You can download this theme song at http://www2.wi.net/~rkurer/toontracker/flintscom.html

[thomasjarvis]

My favorite spin-off was the Cartoon Network telefeature "The Flintstones On the Rocks". I'm looking to get ahold of a copy, if anybody happens to know where I locate one or wants to make a trade. Please let me know if Cartoon Network plans on airing it again.

I also liked PEBBLES & BAMM-BAMM best of the Flintstone spin-offs. It was
fun seeing them as teen-agers and, years later, they even wed (in the TV-
movie "I Yabba Dabba Do!") and became parents (in "Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby").
A cute couple.

[snl 70s show fan]

the pebbles and bamm bamm show was the best spinoff imho

[treky]

I've never seen any spinoffs, either. But, I remember seeing that movie wher Pebbles and Bam-Bam got married. "I Yabba-Dabba-Do".I remember Joe Hanna & William Barbera (the shows creators) made cameos at the end-well, caracters of them!:lol: as wedding guests. I think it aired in 1990, on ABC. Then they made another one, where they had a baby. Unfortunetaly, I missed it.:(

[Darkhaven80]

I never liked any of the spin offs, and this includes The Jetsons.

[lockdown06]

The Jetsons if you count that is my favorite.

[tv star collector]

THE JETSONS wasn't really a spin-off. It was a show that took a similar approach but shifted it from the past to the future. It was basically a futuristic
version of BLONDIE (in fact, Penny Singleton--the voice of Jane Jetson--had
played Blondie Bumstead in a series of motion pictures (1938-1950)). Leonard
Maltin once called those films the first situation-comedy series. There was also
a radio program (1939-1950) and two TV series (1957, 1968).

[treky]

"Blondie" was also a TV series in the 60s-I think it was in 67

[tv star collector]

"Blondie" was also a TV series in the 60s-I think it was in 67
Will Hutchins and Patricia Hardy starred in the 1968-1969 series. Jim Backus
and his real-life wife played Mr. and Mrs. Dithers. I never saw that version.

[comedyfreak]

The Pebbles and Bam-Bam Show was my favorite spinoff, then The Flintstone Comedy Hour. I didn't mind watching the New Flintstones in the 90's.

Did anyone know that the voice of Pebbles in The Pebbles and Bam-Bam show was Gloria Stivic herself, Sally Struthers.

[tv star collector]

That is partially correct. Sally Struthers was the original voice of the teenage
Pebbles (PEBBLES & BAMM-BAMM). She was replaced by Mickey Stevens on
THE FLINTSTONES COMEDY HOUR. Struthers did do some later voiceover work,
though: on two Disney series, TALE SPIN and DINOSAURS.

[comedyfreak]

That is partially correct. Sally Struthers was the original voice of the teenage
Pebbles (PEBBLES & BAMM-BAMM). She was replaced by Mickey Stevens on
THE FLINTSTONES COMEDY HOUR.I couldn't get use to her replacement.

[treky]

does anyone know who did the voices in the 2 "Flinstones" TV movies in the early 90s? The first one was called "I YABBA-DABBA-DO!" and had Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm getting married, and I forget what the 2nd one was called, but it was about them having a baby.
Anyway, I know Jerry Houser voiced Bamm-Bamm and I think Jean Vanderphyl and Mel Blanc did Wilma and Barney again, but I think Alan Reed (Fred) was dead, and I know Bea Benedaritt (Betty) was- she died way back in 1968!!

Mel Blanc voiced Fred after NINETEEN EIGHTY NINE???'

L)..

It's Hnery Corden. Megan Mullally did pebbles. At the time, "Bea and Eff" fanzine (which likes to juxtapose odd trinkits of animaiton culutre alongside each other and which does sarcastic reviews in its long discontinued mag) had a review and someone had thbew NERVE to list the obnxious voice (whgo shall go nameless!) of babs in TINY TOONS as better--Megan Mullally may be one voiced but she is FAR superioir toit he scrheeching heard on other popular cartoons (Thanbks a lot,l Roger Rabbit :mad: )

[tv star collector]

Alan Reed died of cancer on June 14, 1977. He was 69. Henry Corden was Fred's voice on all the later cartoons (PEBBLES & BAMM-BAMM SHOW, THE FRED & BARNEY SHOW, the Pebbles cereal commercials, etc.). Corden died on May 19, 2005, of emphysema. He was 85.

[hillman]

:wave: i think that one of the best spin offs of the Flintstones there was the New Fred and Barney Show that run on the NBC TV Network during 1979 and if anyone out there would like to know where to find the whole 17 episodes of it on DVD then please let me know my e.mail address is, at hillsstuart2@msn.com Hillman :talk: :happyface

[markway895]

Pebbles and Bamm Bamm. It still had the original Flintstones concept. (I hated Betty's voice though.) The more modern sitcoms and movies I don't like. Once they lost the original voices, they just sucked. The original Flintstones appealled to adults as well as children, and was written like a regular sitcom. Later stuff like the Flintstone kids was for Saturday morning kids tv.

[MickeyMac]

The first spinoff, Pebbles and Bam Bam was the best(even though some of the episodes were lame). I didnt like the other spinoffs though.

[howilu]

I liked Pebbles and Bamm Bamm the best. The voice talent was outstanding, featuring Sally Struthers, Jay North and Mitzi Mccall as well as holdovers from the parent show, Alan Reed Jean VanderPyl and Mel Blanc. The situations were more like an animated sitcom and there was little violence. I'll always remember Bad Luck Schleprock's line 'OH WOWSY WOWSY WOO WOO!"

[comedyfreak]

The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show is my favorite.

[70s show watcher]

the pebbles and bamm bamm show

[gopyle]

Anything with Alan Reed as Fred was at least watchable. Any other was not.
