This was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid. I used to watch this religiously. Basically, it was a spin-off of the more superior Flintstones cartoon. In it had Fred, Barney, Wilma, Betty, friends and enemies alike as kids. Unlike the original Flintstones, this wasn't very funny. It was more a cartoon about childhood issues and growing up than it was for laughs. It also had two segments following called, "Dino's Dilemmas" and "Captain Caveman and Son."
I guess this cartoon was made to get a new generation into The Flintstones, also a lot of other kids I went to school with watched this, too. Every time a spin-off cartoon comes out about the auxillary characters as kids, it always has to take place in modern day era. (i.e. Muppet Babies, Flintstone Kids, Tiny Toons Adventures, and of course the horrid Sabrina: The Animated Series.) And to me, that makes no sense at all.
Watch the original Flintstones cartoon, and skip this one. Even though it was a spin off, it had no references to the original cartoon at all. I don't recall 'Rocky Ratrock' being mentioned in the Flintstones, and where was 'Joe Rockhead' in The Flintstone Kids? See what I mean? If you want to introduce your kids to the Flintstones, watch the classic cartoon, not this pointless trash. I used to love this show as a kid, but now that I'm an adult, I realize that this was just a ploy to get kids into classic shows. And of course they will probably prefer something like this to the original. Sad, isn't it?
After this show was over, I began to watch the "Dennis the Menece" cartoon show.
