The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show is a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series and a spin-off of The Flintstones produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, which ran for 16 half-hour episodes from September 11, 1971, to September 2, 1972, and four 8-minute episodes (as part of The Flintstone Comedy Hour) from September 9, 1972, to September 1, 1973, on CBS.
The show followed neighbors Pebbles Flintstone (voiced by Sally Struthers and in Season 2 by Mickey Stevens) and Bamm-Bamm Rubble (voiced by Jay North) as teen sweethearts. The episodes were set mainly in the duo's activities in the prehistoric town of Bedrock with their friends Moonrock (the school genius and resident inventor), Penny (a slightly overweight girl obsessed with being thin) and Wiggy (who planned her day according to what it said in the daily horoscope).
Also featured were Cindy (Pebbles's rival) and Cindy's boyfriend, Fabian, Bad Luck Schleprock (whose favorite catchphrase was, "Oh wowsie wowsie woo woo. Miserable day, isn't it?"), and a motorcycle gang called the Bronto Bunch (Bronto, Noodles, Stub, and Zonk). Bronto's favorite catchphrase was, "Wait for your leader, you dummies!" (said whenever his gang took off without him), and their favorite hangout was a diner called Brontoburgers. There, they would also dance to music being played by a jukebox – (just as in the original series) a bird with a long play beak. Also featured were Pebbles' and Bamm Bamm's pets – "Snoots" (a miniature Triceratops) and "Wooly" (a miniature woolly mammoth), although Dino was still seen on occasion.
