What was the Best Spinoff of "The Flintstones"? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Sitcomwriter · 10-10-2001, 06:40 PM

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 · 11-14-2005, 04:41 PM

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.

the pebbles and bamm bamm show was the best spinoff imho

treky · 01-07-2006, 03:09 AM

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!

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 · 01-08-2006, 04:37 PM

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

lockdown06 · 01-09-2006, 01:56 PM

The Jetsons if you count that is my favorite.
