Outfit: pelt / bone / prehistoric equivalent of a raver hat / raincloud

Tagline: "Wowzee wowzee woo woo."

Plot summary: Follow the lives of the little kids from "The Flintstones" as they spend their teenage years in prehistoric (but suspiciously seventies-themed) Bedrock. Update: In the 1970's BC Pebbles Flintstone has grown into a hot piece of assosaurus with her father's penchant for coming up with zany schemes that get her and her loved ones into trouble. Bamm-Bamm has somehow overcome growth deformities and a mental handicap (or maybe Tourrets) and has come to terms with his supernatural retard-strength to basically be gangly and pussy-whipped. It's a shame this show was on in the seventies instead of in today's grittier, more realistic market, because we never got to see an episode dealing with the very real problem of abuse. Let's see the laugh track kick in while teenage Bamm-Bamm has Pebbles by the wrists and is slamming her around into rock tables and shit like he did to his Dad back in the day. (more)

User Comments: Schleprock (nicknamed "Bad Luck" because every time he tried to get money out of an ATM machine a noise would go moooow wooooooow and a Whammy would show up to dance and steal his cash) was the first Goth person in history. He lived in the Stone Age but judging by his dark clothes, constant frown, and pissy attitude I guarantee he cut himself with a tiny stegosaurus when nobody was looking. And I bet he smoked the caveman equivalent of clove cigarettes, too. And bet he listened to Goth caveman music by bands like SHAKESPEARE'S DISTANT CRO-MAGNON RELATIVES or SKINNY PINACOSAURUS. For this he earns my undying affection, because without ancient party pooper Schleprock I wouldn't be able to sleep with as many disaffected Goth girls as I do today. And who can say that The Flintstones universe had done a greater good?
