Closing Theme used as part of Opening Theme - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anyone have episodes from TBS before 1988? I seem to remember that they'd show the Beggining Intro. Then show 1 TBS preview. Then they'd show the closing Theme, with No credits, and then The Flintstones would begin. They stopped doing this in 1988. Does anyone out there no what I'm talking about, or have any TBS episodes on tape like this. I'm dying to see this again.

I remember when they did this. Personally I always thought it was kind of stupid. TBS used to be a weird station back in the day. Another thing I remember is the ending always being cut short. I remember I had been watching the Flintstones for a year when I finally got to hear Fred yell Wilma!!!!! at the very end, becuase they always cut it short sometime before that. I don't even think TBS airs the Flintstones anymore.

Unfortunately, The Flintstones don't air on TBS anymore. Which is a shame in my opinion. I remember when I was younger and they showed it at 3 p.m, I would come home from school and watch it. I guess they replaced it with the 5 hours of "Friends".

I assume you're not a fan of "friends" either? LOL!
