    This Hanna-Barbera show was done in style, similar to ''Filmation's'' ''Groovy Ghoulies'', as every episode brings one song performed by ''Bedrock Rockers''who are Bam-Bam, Pebbles and Moonrock. Episodes are cool, laid back, and animation itself is better a little bit than in regular ''Flintstones'' series. Atmosphere that this series carries can be a nostalgic a little bit, as there are no any cartoons of this kind any more. Time in which this cartoon was made can be felt during the watching, as all the characters are totally in that hippie, groovy mood of the seventies. Over all, ''Flintstone Comedy Hour'' is nice TV show, done in sympathetic animation and filled with occasionally good gags and cool and rocking'/psychedelic songs.
    This is the 1972 come-back version of the Flinstones where Pebbles and Bam-Bam are now groovy teenagers in a band, and their friend Schleprock destroys everything he touches. They even changed the lyrics to, "We'll have a groovy time," with early 70's psychedelic effects, and it's filled with Laugh-In type segways. The best part of this series has to be the songs, with the Pebbles and Bab-bam gang playing cheesy Brady Bunch type music using dinosaurs as musical instruments as they fly away in tripped out fantasy music videos. It's now playing daily in Madrid, Spain. Get ahold of these classics if you can.
    A fresh, youthful and musical show. Unlike the first seasons here the action is directed more towards the children of the Flintstones and their group of friends, another difference is that the chapters consist of 2 independent episodes one from the other and each program has a musical, since the boys have formed a group The Bedrock Rockers. We are in the early 70's and these psychedelic musicals seem to be a preview of what the video clips were a decade later. The stories are sitcoms, the new characters are very funny and original. A refreshed, casual and youthful version of the original. For my taste it is the best, it is a pity that it has not had more repetitions, I think it had some problem with the copyright of the musicals.
