Rein-Toon-Ation: A compilation of the Flintstone Comedy Show (1980)

 This rerun package from the 1980-1 Flintstone Comedy Show comes out of a VHS release issued in 1985 to mark the franchise's 25th anniversary.

The lineup:

Bedrock Cops in "Mountain Frustration": Fred & Barney (Henry Corden & Mel Blanc) are chasing the Frankenstones' pet, Rockjaw, at a ski lodge. Cavemouse appears briefly.

The Frankenstones in "Potion Trouble": Frank (Charles Nelson Reilly) schemes to break up the budding relationship between son Freaky (Paul Reubens) and Pebbles (Russi Taylor), so he has his wife (Ruta Lee) create a hate potion. 

Pebbles leads a spelling lesson.

Dino & Cavemouse in "Camp-out Mouse". Not exactly Tom & Jerry, but, then, this was Tex Avery's last project.

Captain Caveman in "Clownfoot": This was the opener for Cavey's run in Bedrock.

Pebbles, Dino & Bamm-Bamm in "The Ghost-Sitters". Turning these kids into a prehistoric Mystery, Inc. wanna-be was a bad idea.

The Flintstone Family Adventures: "Sands of The Saharastone". We had this one up before, but it was later deleted.


Rating: B--.
