Canada Movie Reviews of The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show - The Complete SeriesMovie Review: Yabba Dabba Doosie!The first of the Flintstones spin-offs, The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show (1971) featured the children of the Flintstones and Rubbles as teenagers in Bedrock high school-themed misadventures replete with Laugh-In style gags, jokes and a dance of the week ala The Archies. A chip off the old block or rather a "pebble off the old Flintstone," Pebbles, too, had a catchphrase: "Yabba Dabba Doosie!" which [to Bamm-Bamm's chagrin] signaled "a doosie of an idea" that typically got the gang into various trouble. A Barney to Pebbles' Fred, Bamm-Bamm, too, cringed at the mention of his best friend's "brilliant ideas" and was also drafted into singing lead in their band [The Bedrock Rockers] because of his shower singing which was only good while he was in the shower in "The Golden Voice" (a personal favorite of mine). In addition to great character designs, fun new characters Bad Luck Schleprock voiced by legendary Don Messick, teen inventor Moonrock and Bronto of the Bronto Bunch (both voiced by "Inch High Private Eye" Lennie Weinrib) plus great new music from original Flintstones music director Hoyt Curtin, The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show also featured the voices of Sally Struthers (All in the Family) and Jay North (Dennis the Menace) as the teenaged title characters. Not to mention regular appearances from their parents plus an episode featuring the creepy Gruesomes. A little trivia: Sally Struthers also was the voice of "Charlene Sinclair" from other prehistoric series Dinosaurs. The only negative I found with the show was that Bamm-Bamm, though a strapping lad, wasn't as super-strong as he was on The Flintstones as "the world's strongest baby." Despite this, The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show was one of the better Flintstones spin-offs (my favorite) which I still enjoyed and recommend.
