Great Fun 
2008-06-02
I had alot of fun reliving my childhood watching this show after all these years.
A lot of people on here are expecting to buy this for The Bedrock Rockers musical segments but The Bedrock Rockers weren't on The Pebbles and Bamm Bamm Show. Pebbles, Bamm Bamm and their friends appeared as The Bedrock Rockers on THE FLINTSTONES COMEDY HOUR, which premiered a year after this show went off the air. The 4 bonus episodes on this collection only include the story segments and not any of the musical segments. We'll have to wait until Warner Bros. decides to release THE FLINTSTONES COMEDY HOUR to get the musical segments featuring The Bedrock Rockers.P
Great title for 70s-80s kids 2008-05-26
This DVD is great! It brought back all the memories of when I was 5 or 6 and would get up at 6 am on Saturday when everyone else was still asleep. I would get a bowl of cereal and watch cartoons all the way up until noon or so, and this show was one of my all-time favorites. Brings back alot of memories.
Great Set! 2008-04-27
This set is great, and the welcome addition of the four segments from "The Flintstone Comedy Hour" are a joy to anyone who has the desire to see such classics like this.
SATURDAY MORNING MEMORIES: "DON'T ROCK NOW BECAUSE OUR LOVE HAS GROWN STONE COLD." 2008-04-21
I was a little too young to watch the original animated "The Flintstones," which was first run on ABC from 1960-1966. Of course, I was aware of "The Flintstones" and watched it in heavily syndicated reruns. "The Pebbles And Bamm-Bamm Show," the delightful 16 Episode Saturday morning sequel, first ran on CBS in 1971 when I was about five or six years old. THIS show is part of my Saturday morning memories!
On "The Flintstones", Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm were babies, and I never cared much for babies or children in shows, even when I was a child. For their own self-titled show, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm are teenagers. The title characters are excellently voiced by Sally Struthers ("All In The Family") and Jay North ("Dennis The Menace"). They hang out with a new gang of teenage friends, including The Bronto Bunch Motorcycle Gang, astrologically-inclined Wiggy, hippie Penny, inventor Moonrock, snobby Cindy and Fabian, and Bad Luck Schleprock ("Hi, everybody, miserable day, isn't it... wowsie, wowsie, woo-woo!"). Fred, Barney, Wilma, Betty, and Mr. Slate return, but Dino The Dinasour is noticeably absent. He is replaced here by Bamm-Bamm's pet Snoots and Pebbles' pet elephant Wooley, who, in one episode, flies exactly like Disney's Dumbo.
Watching this series again after SO MANY years, I realized that "Pebbles And Bamm-Bamm" plots are basically recycled from "I Love Lucy." It is basically bedlam in Bedrock when Pebbles gets ideas in her head. But Pebbles is enthusiastic, energetic, and good-hearted. She's not scatterbrained like Lucy is, but Bamm-Bamm humorously and truthfully says, "You've got rocks in your head, Pebbles...when Pebbles makes up her mind, it's a state of mind over matter. Pebbles makes up her mind and NOTHING else matters." My most vivid memory of the series is actually the series' BEST episode. In "The Golden Voice," Pebbles discovers that Bamm-Bamm has a beautiful singing voice when he's in the shower. For this episode, he repeatedly sings the phrase, "Don't rock now, because our love has grown stone cold." Outside of the shower, his singing is terrible. Pebbles takes him to see Madame Fortismo, who turns him into a vocal freak sensation. In other memorable episodes, Pebbles gets involved in football and baseball; although she knows absolutely nothing about either sport, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm become Grand Prix race car drivers in order to retrieve a special fuel for Fred and Barney, and chaos reigns when Pebbles becomes honorary mayor of Bedrock for one week.
I also seem to recall a TV Special when Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm got married and had a baby of their own. That would make Fred, Barney, Wilma, and Betty grandparents! I don't need to go into that. I hope you love and enjoy "The Pebbles And Bamm-Bamm Show" as much as I do!

Bedrock: The Next Generation 2008-03-30
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm return to your TV screen in this latest outing from Hanna-Barbera's Classic Collection series, showcasing the misadventures of the now-teenaged daughter of Fred Flintstone and the adopted son of Barney Rubble.
This show, which appears to be an attempt to present HB's venerable series THE FLINTSTONES for a new and younger audience while also stealing a little thunder from Filmation Studios' long-running ARCHIES series (which, at the time this show aired, was the toast of Saturday Morning), depicts Pebbles Flintstone (voiced by Sally Struthers, of ALL IN THE FAMILY fame) and Bamm-Bamm Rubble (Jay North, of TV's DENNIS THE MENACE) in their high school years. In both cases, neither apple has fallen far from the tree: Bamm-Bamm retains his father's level-headedness and stalwart passivity, while Pebbles shares her father's impetuousness, high spirits and penchant for enthusiastic scheming. This last quality often gets her AND Bamm-Bamm into as much trouble as it did their fathers, but luckily they have their famous parents (with Alan Reed, Jean Vander Pyl and Mel Blanc all returning to voice Fred, Wilma and Barney, and Gay Hartwig taking over Betty for the late Bea Benaderet) and a group of steady pals to help them out: earthy, chubby Penny (Mitzi McCall), scatterbrained amateur astrologer Wiggy (also Gay Hartwig, whose vocals for this character are a direct lift from Jo Anne Worley), and brainy inventor Moonrock (Lennie Weinrib), who at times seems to be a prehistoric ancestor of the Archies' own Dilton Doiley. Rivals appear in the form of rich-kid snobs Cindy (Hartwig yet again) and Fabian (Carl Esser), and comedy relief shows up in the form of ne'er-do-well motorcycle gang the Bronto Bunch (whose leader Bronto is also voiced by Weinrib) and the perpetually unlucky Schleprock (Don Messick). Though the series owes quite a bit to THE ARCHIES, there is also a thread derived from the Annette Funicello/Frankie Avalon BEACH PARTY films: the antics of the Bronto Bunch occasionally recall Harvey Lembeck's demented Eric Von Zipper and his Rat Pack gang of goofball bikers.
The show itself has been criticized for being flimsy when compared to the original FLINTSTONES series, but one must remember that THE FLINTSTONES was written as a prime-time series for adults. PEBBLES AND BAMM-BAMM was specifically done for kids, and in many cases was its audience's first real exposure to the Flintstones. Most of the episodes, to my eye, are standard teen fare that hold up as well as anything else of its time (or even this time) with the usual FLINTSTONES sight gags of modern conveniences adapted for prehistoric settings in full display.
This series is presented with reasonably clean transfers on two single-side discs and colorful outer artwork, though I am not a fan of the rather flimsy cardstock storage cases Warner Brothers uses for these sets. The set has all 16 half-hour episodes plus four ten-minute episodes made for 1972's THE FLINTSTONE COMEDY HOUR as a special feature. All in all, it adds up to one yabba-dabba-doozy of a set. Enjoy.
The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show: It's great to see them on DVD !! 2008-03-21
I live in Canada and we haven't seen reruns of The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show for decades here on TV, so I was thrilled when I heard that this classic show was being released on DVD!!! It is a great blast from the past!!! Listening to Sally Struthers' and Jay North's voices as the lead characters brings back fond memories of watching these episodes on Saturday mornings!
This set is a must-have for children of the 1970s (such as myself) who grew up with these great characters, and I'm sure that today's younger generation will enjoy it, especially those who are unaware that the Flintstones' offspring had their own show.
The colors are beautiful and bright and the transfer to DVD was very well done, especially for a show that is now 37 years old! I hope that Warner Home Video will continue releasing the other Flintstones series that followed Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm!
Yabba-Dabba-Doosie! Buy This DVD! 2008-03-19
I totally disagree with the previous reviewer. This series was a wondeful part of my Saturday morning TV habit. The character designs, background styling, music, voice-cast are all top-notch. It's the only spin-off of "The Flintstones" that kept the charm of the original, while moving the property forward for a new TV audience. The original voices of Fred, Wilma and Barney (Alan Reed, Jean Vander Pyl and Mel Blanc) returned to voice their characters. Sally Struthers and Jay North were both incredible in their parts as well.
Everything about this show -- and other Hanna-Barbera series of this same time period ("Josie and the Pussycats," "The Harlem Globetrotters," "Help! It's the Hair Bear Bunch") was outstanding -- and leaps and bounds above the product from other animation houses. Honestly -- try watching anything from Filmation, whether it be The Archies, or any other title, and you'll see what I mean.
Like Father, Like Daughter 2008-03-18
"The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show" is an animated 1971 Hanna-Barbera spin-off of the 1960's "The Flintstones" television series that follows the comedy adventures of teen-age Pebbles Flintstone and Bamm-Bamm Rubble. In this series, their famed parents (Fred and Wilma Flintstone and Barney and Betty Rubble) are back in supporting roles, along with a new cast of stone-age teenagers. Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm's Archie-inspired friends are more than a little unique and include astrologically obsessed Wiggy Rockstone, down-to-earth Penny Pillar, and brainy Moonrock Crater. The Bronto Bunch (Bronto, Noodles, Stub, and Zonk) alternates between functioning as a bothersome motorcycle gang and much-needed allies, while Cindy Curbstone and Fabian Fabquartz fill the role of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm's conceited rivals. Schleprock ("Wowzie Wowzie Woo Woo!") is the consistent harbinger of bad luck. Pebbles' wooly mammoth Wooly and Bamm-Bamm's pet brontosaurus Snoots round out the cast.
Comedy reigns throughout all 16 episodes - - from simple word play to slapstick and satire. While Pebbles' intentions are always good, her definite knack for misinterpreting a situation often gets her and her friends into all sorts of trouble. She definitely takes after her father!
Four 8-minute bonus "Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm" episodes from the 1972 "The Flintstones Comedy Hour" round out this two-disc set. The smooth animation and clever storylines make this one of the best animated series ever created and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. Don't miss your opportunity to own it! Yabba-Dabba-Doosie!!
