'''''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show''''' is an American [[Saturday-morning cartoon|animated television series]] produced by [[Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Productions]] that originally aired for one season on [[CBS]] [[Saturday morning cartoon|Saturday morning]] from September 11, 1971, to January 1, 1972. With an ensemble voice cast of [[Sally Struthers]], [[Jay North]], [[Mitzi McCall]], [[Gay Autterson|Gay Hartwig]], Carl Esser and [[Lennie Weinrib]], the show follows teenage [[Pebbles Flintstone]] and [[Bamm-Bamm Rubble]] as they encounter problems growing up in the fictional town of [[Bedrock (The Flintstones)|Bedrock]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sennett |first1=Ted |title=The Art of Hanna-Barbera: Fifty Years of Creativity |date=1989 |publisher=Studio |isbn=978-0670829781 |url=https://archive.org/details/artofhannabarber00teds/page/94/mode/2up |access-date=2 June 2020 |page=94}}</ref> ''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' is the first [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] series of ''[[The Flintstones]]''. For the 1972–73 season, the show was revamped as ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Hour]]'', with more time given to the original ''Flintstones'' cast alongside both reruns and newly produced segments of ''Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Erickson |first1=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |edition=2nd |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |pages=333–344}}</ref>

Similar to Hanna-Barbera's ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)|Josie and the Pussycats]]'', it used [[Adult contemporary music|contemporary rock music]] to attract more viewers. The 16 episodes have since had reruns broadcast on [[Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang]] often surrounded by interstitial cartoons and shorts. Critical responses were mixed. It has since been released on DVD as part of [[Warner Home Video]]'s "Hanna-Barbera Classic Collection" on a two disc set.

==Overview==
Set in the [[Stone Age]], the series follows [[Pebbles Flintstone|Pebbles]] and [[Bamm-Bamm Rubble|Bamm-Bamm]] as they face problems with growing up in the town of [[Bedrock (The Flintstones)|Bedrock]].<ref name="Prehistoric Humans" /> No longer toddlers, the two are now teenagers and begin dating each other. The show focuses on them attending Bedrock High School and also getting their first jobs.<ref name="From Abba to Zoom 2">{{harvnb|Mansour|2011|p=357}}</ref> Together, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm form a musical band called the Bedrock Rockers, which was considered an attempt to be the "Stone Age" version of [[the Archies]] by one critic.<ref name="Vietnam Era Cartoons" /> Unlike ''[[The Flintstones]]'', it centers on the children of the family, rather than parents [[Fred Flintstone|Fred]] and [[Wilma Flintstone]], and [[Barney Rubble|Barney]] and [[Betty Rubble]]. These characters continue to appear in the series, albeit in reduced roles.

==Cast and characters==
The series features the following seven main characters throughout its run:
* [[Sally Struthers]] as '''Pebbles Flintstone''', Fred and Wilma's daughter, Bamm-Bamm's best friend/girlfriend, Barney and Betty's honorary niece and a beautiful, social teenager.<ref name="From Abba to Zoom 2" /> Enthusiastic, well-meaning and kind-hearted, she often tries to help someone in trouble, but usually ends up getting herself and her friends into even bigger trouble. Like her father, her catchphrase was "Yabba-dabba-doozy!", which was appropriate as most of her schemes were indeed doozies. Much like ''The Flintstones'', Pebbles's "trademark" [[ponytail]] was held in place with a bone in the show.<ref name="From Abba to Zoom 2" /> When Struthers left the series in order to fulfill a role on the American sitcom ''[[All in the Family]]'', actress Mickey Stevens took her place for "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show" segments on ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Hour]]''.<ref name="Prehistoric Humans">{{harvnb|Klossner|2006|p=114}}</ref>
* [[Jay North]] as '''Bamm-Bamm Rubble''', Barney and Betty's muscular, adopted son, Fred and Wilma's adopted nephew and Pebbles' best friend/boyfriend.<ref name="Prehistoric Humans" /><ref name="Encyclopedia of Television Shows">He often tries to talk Pebbles out of her crazy ideas, but ends going along with them.{{harvnb|Terrace|2008|p=820}}</ref> This marked North's second role as a voice actor for Hanna-Barbera (outside of ''[[Arabian Knights]]''; he also voice acted in DePatie-Freleng's ''Here Comes the Grump''), having previously acted on series like ''[[Dennis the Menace (1959 TV series)|Dennis the Menace]]'', ''[[Wanted Dead or Alive (TV series)|Wanted Dead or Alive]]'' and ''[[My Three Sons]]''.<ref name="Mormons and Popular Culture">{{harvnb|Hunter|2013|p=244}}</ref>
* [[Mitzi McCall]] as '''Penny''', the small intelligent friend of Pebbles who often worried about her weight.<ref name="From Abba to Zoom 2" />
* [[Gay Autterson|Gay Hartwig]] as:
** '''Wiggy''', an [[astrology]] enthusiast who spoke in an operatic voice.
** '''Cindy''', a spoiled primary antagonist who had a crush on Bamm-Bamm and nemesis of Pebbles.
** '''Betty Rubble''', Wilma's best friend/neighbor, Bamm-Bamm's adopted mother, Barney's wife and Pebbles' aunt.<ref name="From Abba to Zoom 2" />
* Carl Esser as '''Fabian''', the other spoiled antagonist of the series and a nemesis of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm.<ref name="From Abba to Zoom 2" />
* [[Lennie Weinrib]] as '''Moonrock''', one of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm's friends who was intelligent and enjoyed inventing things, though they don't always work as intended.<ref name="From Abba to Zoom 2" /> Weinrib was a frequent voice actor for Hanna-Barbera, previously fulfilling roles on ''[[The Jetsons]]'', ''[[Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!]]'', and ''[[Help!... It's the Hair Bear Bunch!]]''.<ref name="Obituaries in the Performing Arts">{{harvnb|Lentz III|2007|p=397}}</ref><ref name="Hollywood Surf and Beach Movies">{{harvnb|Lisanti|2012|p=303}}</ref>

==Production and continuation==
''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' was the first spin-off TV series derived from ''The Flintstones'', following the theatrical film ''[[The Man Called Flintstone]]'' in 1966.<ref name="From Abba to Zoom">{{harvnb|Mansour|2011|p=160}}</ref><ref name="101 TV Shows to See">{{harvnb|Chagollan|Milvy|2017|p=109}}</ref> [[Joe Ruby]] and [[Ken Spears]], creators of ''Scooby-Doo, Where are You!'', served as story editors on ''Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm'', and several individuals wrote episodes for the series, including Joel Kane, [[Woody Kling]], and Howard Morganstern. Executive produced by [[William Hanna]] and [[Joseph Barbera]], [[Charles August Nichols|Charles A. Nichols]] served as the director and [[Iwao Takamoto]] was the creative producer and key character designer. The main title theme and musical directors for ''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' were made by [[Hoyt Curtin]] and [[Ted Nichols]]. [[Elliot Lawrence]] wrote songs for the series, with music arrangements by [[Lanny Meyers]]. The songs were recorded by Regent Sound Studios.<ref name="Encyclopedia of Television Series">{{harvnb|Terrace|1985|p=321}}</ref>

Author Christopher P. Lehman wrote that the success of ''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' inspired Hanna-Barbera to create ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Hour]]'' in 1972. It combined previously broadcast episodes alongside new cartoons and shorts.<ref name="America Toons In">{{harvnb| Perlmutter|2014|p=152}}</ref> Serving as a continuation, the new series featured newly-produced [[Sketch comedy|vignette]] versions of ''The Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm Show,'' as well as reruns from the 1971-72 season, during each of its sixteen episodes. ''The Flintstone Comedy Hour'' also included musical interludes performed by The Bedrock Rockers, similar to the original series.<ref name="Vietnam Era Cartoons 2">{{harvnb|Lehman|2006|p=172}}</ref><ref name="Vietnam Era Cartoons">{{harvnb|Lehman|2006|p=173}}</ref> ''[[Fred Flintstone and Friends]]'' (1977), a later anthology series compiled for syndication, included reruns of segments from both ''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' and ''The Flintstone Comedy Hour''.<ref name="Prehistoric Humans" />

''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' was one of the first shows to use Hanna-Barbera's [[Laugh track#Making their own|limited laugh track]], as they stopped using a full laugh track provided by [[Charley Douglass]] by the fall of 1971.<ref>Iverson, Paul R. (1994), The Advent of the Laugh Track (2nd ed.), [[Hempstead, New York]]: Hofstra University Archives</ref>

==Reception==
===Broadcast history===
''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' was broadcast on [[CBS]] as part of their Saturday morning children's lineup between September 11, 1971, and January 1, 1972.<ref name="TV Guide episodes" /> Reruns of the series would later air again during 1975 and 1976.<ref name="Encyclopedia of Television">{{harvnb|Newcomb|2014|p=1060}}</ref>

The reruns of ''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' were incorporated into the 1972 hour-long show ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Hour]]'' as the second half-hour of the show. When the ''Comedy Hour'' first started airing, four new ''Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm'' cartoons were produced for this position, but episodes were now shortened to two 11-minute segments in one 30-minute episode. After a few weeks, the new episodes stopped and the reruns of the original series began. Those new episodes were included in ''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' DVD as bonus episodes. The noticeable difference is Mickey Stevens as Pebbles's voice in the new episodes, concurrent with Stevens's voice appearing as Pebbles anytime Pebbles is seen in the shorter cartoons that comprised the first half of ''The Flintstone Comedy Hour''.

[[Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang]] has broadcast ''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'' on several occasions since its initial launch in 2000.<ref name="August 9, 2004 Boomerang schedule">{{Cite web |date=August 9, 2004 |title=Boomerang Schedule: Thursday, August 9, 2004 |url=http://schedule.cartoonnetwork.com/servlet/BoomerangServlet?action=selectBMDay |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040810030732/http://schedule.cartoonnetwork.com/servlet/BoomerangServlet?action=selectBMDay |archive-date=August 10, 2004 |access-date=February 25, 2017 |publisher=[[Cartoon Network]]}}</ref><ref name="November 7, 2006 Boomerang schedule">{{Cite web |date=November 7, 2006 |title=Boomerang Schedule: Tuesday, November 7, 2006 |url=http://schedule.cartoonnetwork.com/servlet/BoomerangServlet?action=selectBMDay |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061107152714/http://schedule.cartoonnetwork.com/servlet/BoomerangServlet?action=selectBMDay |archive-date=November 7, 2006 |access-date=February 25, 2017 |publisher=[[Cartoon Network]]}}</ref> Reruns on the network would occasionally air alongside interstitial cartoons, such as [[Barney Bear]]'s ''The Unwelcome Guest'' or [[Tex Avery]]'s ''Hound Hunters'' for example.<ref name="August 9, 2004 Boomerang schedule" /><ref name="February 15, 2008 Boomerang schedule">{{Cite web |date=February 15, 2008 |title=Boomerang Schedule: Friday, February 15, 2008 |url=http://schedule.cartoonnetwork.com/servlet/BoomerangServlet?action=selectBMDay |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080215223247/http://schedule.cartoonnetwork.com/servlet/BoomerangServlet?action=selectBMDay |archive-date=February 15, 2008 |access-date=February 25, 2017 |publisher=[[Cartoon Network]]}}</ref> As part of the [[Warner Bros.
