What makes it different from others?
Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

View MoreIn response to Mike Garner, the Great Gazoo went back to his planet in the second to the last episode in season 6. The episode is called "My Fair Freddy."As for Pebbles and Bamm Bamm; the show is easier to watch now then when it first came on. I guess I'm getting older. I do remember I didn't care for it then. They made Bamm Bamm out to be a coward. Not strong and brave like when he was a baby.Also even though Pebbles and Bamm Bamm were older Gobbie hadn't grown even though he was a kid when Pebbles was a baby. But that is cartoons for you. They age when you want them to or stay young for ever.
View MoreHow come if Pebbles was born in 1963 (airdate time), can she be a teenager by 1971 (airdate time). Chronologically, she would have to be at least 8 years old, if looked at it age-wise. Not even 8 year old had curves (despite the trend in America for underage beauty queen pageants).H-B execs must have picked it up eventually, but by the time Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm did mature, the continuity was out-of-whack by showing later Flintstones shows with the kids looking different than they were in '71.I don't know when the marriage of P and B-B was shown, but hopefully the time lines were put back on the correct track.Sorry to be picky, but i guess the kids (who watch the cartoons)wouldn't pick up on the continuity errors.Brian T.
View MoreThis is just another example of why in most cases that spin-offs of most classic television series don't work. The thing that I didn't like about it is the fact that Bamm Bamm, who when he was a baby was the strongest boy in the world, is comes off as rather wimpy and let's Pebbles talk him into a lot of her hair brained schemes. Also, the supporting cast was pretty much a carbon copy of a lot of the cast in the various versions of the "Archie" cartoon series. And the plots for many of the episodes of the were so stupid that it is no wonder that it only lasted for one season. However, when "The Flintstone Comedy Hour" premiered the next year, the Pebbles and Bamm Bamm shows were absorbed into this show.Another thing that gets me is the fact that Pebbles and Bamm Bamm went from toddlers just five years earlier to being teenagers while Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty and Mr. Slate never seemed to age at all.
View MoreI watched several episodes on the Boomerang channel hoping to see something of value in the Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show and am sad to report that I, too, am disappointed. Their voices are mismatched. Pebbles' voice is annoying (It's Gloria from All in the Family) Bamm-Bamm sure acts like a puscatore, and the rest of the gang have cartoony voices that totally detract from the rest of the main characters. The episodes are as canned as the vegetables that sit in my local supermarket. The original Flintstones had wonderful story lines that had humor sprinkled throughout. This show is more like the opposite. The creators of this show had franchise and money on their minds - and it shows.
