Since no one's even bothered to reply to this writer's post, I will.

Around the time of Pebbles and Bamm Bamm is jumped but Gazoo made it reverse jump. Gazoo, voiced by Harvey Korman (and by the way it's Gazoo, not Kazoo), was the alien who was so funny when he did magic on Fred and Barney. However, the biggest laughs was the pets and men and children but not the women, could see him!

Actually, I think the "Flintstones" jts with the addition of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm...the show was never the same after that, as all the adult attitudes that made the show a hit in the first place were subverted for more kid-oriented episodes...
