Teenage Toons: Mayor May Not (Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm, 1971)

 Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm turns 50 this year. One of the goofier stories was "Mayor May Not", in which Pebbles (Sally Struthers, All in The Family) is on the stump for Bamm-Bamm (Jay North, ex-Dennis The Menace, Here Comes The Grump, Maya), only for the teen powerhouse to turn around and nominate Pebbles for acting mayor.

A key sequence foreshadows a future gig for Fred (Alan Reed) and Barney (Mel Blanc, also heard as the mayor). You'll see what I mean.



Nine years later, in The Flintstone Comedy Show (2nd series), Fred & Barney became The Bedrock Cops, but this was their first time wearing badges.

Rating: B.
