Boomerang to Spotlight Wilma Flintstone in Mother's Day Tribute on
Sunday, May 11


Seven-Hour Mother's Day Wilma-Thon Culminates with 90-minute Special
Hollyrock-A-Bye Baby



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, Boomerang, Cartoon Network's 24-hour commercial-free
sister network, gives birth to a 7-hour tribute to that modern Stone-Age
matriarch, Wilma Flintstone. During the WILMA FLINTSTONE MOTHER'S DAY
MARATHON, which airs from 12-7 p.m. (ET), 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 holiday marathon kicks off with five and one-half hours of
Wilma-centric escapades from the original The Flintstones animated
series and concludes with the 90-minute animated feature Hollyrock-A-Bye
Baby (1993).
