(1971) Cartoon
The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show
The Flintstone Comedy Hour
The Flintstones Show
Animal
Gothic caveman
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)

(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?
