Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: Captain Caveman & Son in I Was a Teenage Grown-Up (1986)

From season 1 of The Flintstone Kids:

Captain Caveman & Son (Mel Blanc & Charlie Adler) run afoul of a miserable adult known as Mr. Bad (Michael Bell), who turns the kids in Bedrock into adults because he hates fun. The show-within-a-show appeared every other week during season 1. For the record, Blanc wasn't the voice of young Barney Rubble. Instead, Hamilton Camp (Smurfs) filled the role, with Len Weinrib & Julie McWhirter-Dees as Fred & Wilma.

Here's "I Was a Teenage Grown-Up":


The Captain Caveman & Son shorts were even campier than the original Captain Caveman series nearly a decade earlier, and needed the help of a narrator (Kenneth Mars) to move the story along.

Rating: C.
