Do you prefer the episodes with or without Pebbles and Bambam personally I prefer them without.

Moondance · 03-06-2002, 04:35 PM

I prefer them with! They were always so cute!

I loved when Fred thought that Pebbles and Bam Bam could talk! LoL!

Either or- meaning all the eps of the Flintstones are fine with me. However, Pebbles and Bam-Bam were a great addition to the show, so I couldn't imagine what it would be like it they were never "born."

With. The show was better with them.

Well the show was always great either with or without the kids,
I think that it was even better BEFORE Pebbles and Bam Bam
'cause in those eps. it was even more like The Honeymooners.
Also since Fred and Barney were a couple of really BIG kids to
begin with it really seems like the addition of Pebbles and
Bam Bam only added a bit of cuteness that wasn't needed in
the first place,after all they did have Dino...

I suppose with them,they didnt really hurt the show.....

To me, the addition of Pebbles and Bamm Bamm changed the direction of the show. What started out as an adult prime time animated sitcom gradually metamorphosed into a kids show and that's what led The Flintstones to its demise in 1966. But fear not, the show went into reruns that fall and it got very high ratings. It also made more money for Hanna-Barbera and Screen Gems than the original ABC run.

Better question would be, with or without the great Gazoo?

stevea · 01-31-2021, 02:13 PM

I'm in the minority, but I think Gazoo livened things up. I wish they'd brought him in sooner. Also, Korman's voice was perfect for that part.

I voted for P&B, BTW.
