I grew up watching the original series in reruns, so when this came onto The USA Cartoon Express, I had high hopes. I was thinking, "Fred and Barney shenanigans, hooray!" So in January of 1987, I tuned in, thinking "Where can we go wrong?" I thought it was going to be good.

Boy was I wrong. It didn't feel like the original series, and it had different animation. While a few of the episodes had a few scattered laughs, it wasn't enough to recapture the same feel and vibe of the original series.

At least The Flintstone Kids was accually funny. This one just hit Bedrockbottom! I know bad joke

After 20 years in the making, Fred and Barney were supposed to resurrect the old Flintstones formula. However, with the modern technology and new stuff, H-B had to re-new their show.

What was the results ? Well, if you are nostalgic of the old series, you'll feel completely lost in this new series, which (gladly) lasted one season. Yes there were a couple of good ones, but it lost a lot of the punches of the first six seasons...

Just for fans, but pass quickly on this one, even if Mel Blanc's still is a romp as Barney Rubble...

And yes, Pebbles does walk finally in this series...

Good show!, 31 August 2005

When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!
