TV.com summary

The Flintstone Comedy Show (not to be confused with the shortened, re-titled 1973 version of CBS' The Flintstone Comedy Show) was a 90-minute Saturday morning animated series revival of The Flintstones produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions from November 22, 1980 to September 11, 1982 on NBC. It contained six segments:

  • The Flintstone Family Adventures
  • Bedrock Cops
  • Pebbles, Dino and Bamm-Bamm
  • Captain Caveman
  • Dino and Cavemouse
  • The Frankenstones

The series featured new characters (The Frankenstones, the Shmoo, Captain Caveman, Cavemouse) as well as older characters (Penny, Wiggy, Moonrock and Schleprock from The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show). A series of gags, educational spots, games, how-to-draw and a dance-of-the-week were featured in-between the six segments every week.

In 1982, reruns of the show were repackaged for two seasons under the title The Flintstone Funnies. The version currently running on Boomerang Europe has the title Flintstone Frolics.
