From my www.toonzone.net post:
Throughout time, mothers have been revered for their love, nurture and support, not to mention their hard work. To celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday, May 11, Cartoon Network gives birth to a seven-hour tribute to that modern Stone Age matriarch, Wilma Flintstone. During the Mother's Day "Wilma-Thon," which airs from 12-7 pm (ET/PT), viewers will see Wilma Flintstone through the years, as she and Fred first court, during her pregnancy, as a new mother and, finally, as she becomes a grandmother.
The marathon kicks off with five hours of Wilma-centric escapades from
The Flintstones 1960's animated series and concludes with the Cartoon Network premiere of the two-hour 1993 animated feature Hollyrock-A-Bye Baby.
Following are the programming details for Cartoon Network's Mother's Day "Wilma-Thon":
