The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show is an American animated sitcom television series produced by Hanna-Barbera for CBS' Saturday morning line-up. It ran from 1971 to 1972, airing 16 episodes that spanned one season. It was the second Flintstones series after The Flintstones, which aired from 1960 to 1966 in prime-time.
Pebbles Flintstone and Bamm-Bamm Rubble, the babies of The Flintstones, are now teenagers and go through the quarrels of growing up, including going on dates. In a mirroring of their fathers in the original show's premise, although this time for other's good fortune, instead of their own, Bamm-Bamm is forced to go along with Pebbles' zany plans, which usually backfire, either while studying at Bedrock High School or getting a job. Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm also have a rock group called the Bedrock Rockers.
The entire series has been released on DVD.
