The Lookback
We did part one this is part 2 , We are taking another look at some CBS Saturday Morning programs ; unlike the first one where most of the shows featured were from the 1980's (except one , oh that's why you said most) These shows are mostly from the 1970's and also mostly from Hanna and Barbera (The kings of Children's TV apparently).
1. The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show
The Flintstones , were a prime time show on ABC , but when it was canceled it was still popular and repeated on Saturday Mornings on the networks. (Plus it was cheaper than making a new show for the kids to watch) . It ran on CBS (well you didn't read the title did you?) from September 11th , 1971 to September 2nd 1972.
It takes us to the future where Fred and Wilma's Daughter Pebbles and Barney and Betty's son Bamm-Bamm are now teenagers. (Factor in that the original series ended in 1965, they were still around 2 or 3 , that means that we skipped a lot of time, also it's a cartoon) They were also sweethearts. (awww , Bamm-Bamm) The show took place with our main characters at high-school (where Teenagers seem to be ) in Bedrock . They had friends : MoonRock (space-age!) , Penny (what no rock name?) , and Wiggy. Also Cindy (not Brady, maybe), Pebbles' rival, and her boyfriend Fabian (again did the rock puns die in this series?). There was also a motorcycle gang in the series ( well.. you, know what you are on your own on this) .
Thanks and Hanna and Babera
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm were seen in later Flintstones Movies and TV shows ,except (definitely) "Flintstones Kids".
Fun fact: The Actor Jay North (From the Live-action , Dennis the Meance , voiced Bamm-Bamm)
2. The Flintstone Comedy Hour
So , the Flintstones were a thing again , in 1972 (wait 1972?) It was an hour long show (again titles) it ran from September 9th 1972- September 1st ,1973, The show had two halves , the first had featured Fred and Barney shorts, A short with Pebbles and Bamm-bamm and music from the BedRock , "The Bedrock Rockers". (Yay , I have all their records) Meanwhile , the 2nd half hour was a new episode of "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show".
There series ended in 1973 ,and CBS repackaged the show as The Flintstone Comedy Show (not an hour anymore) , which also how it aired in Syndication in repeats.
I like how Fred Never ages / Copyright H&B
Fact: It was the final series to Alan Reed as the voice of Fred , due to his death 1977.

The Lookback: The Charlie Brown Lookback: He's your Dog , Charlie Brown
The Flashback
Welcome to our Fifth installment of our monthly series in a series , our lookbacks at Charlie Brown specials that are not holiday specials. This time we take a look at "He's Your Dog ,Charlie Brown"
"So?" Copyright Peanuts
This special came out on Valentine's Day in 1968 , it is noted for being the last special where at least some of the members were voices from the Christmas special. (Darn kids, getting all old)
It begins with Snoopy going around our characters and annoying them so much they complain to Charlie Brown because "He's Your Dog! " (One of these Days , Alice, Charlie Brown is going to get rich and be spiteful toward Lucy , but will marry Marcy) So Charlie Brown calls Daisy Hill Puppy Farm ( who didn't pay for this segment , but where do you get your puppies?) so he can learn some obedience.
Snoopy has to stay at Peppermint Patty's house ( we like her , she's not a jerk ) because it's a long distance to the farm. ( this time not code for doggy heaven) On his way Snoopy does some cool 1960's stuff like kick a can (also not doggy heaven) , run a stick through a fence ( Dennis the Beagle) , and balance a stick on his nose. ( That's what they thought you in Middle School , this is a lie)
Peace agreement settled ,war is over / Copyright peanuts
Anyway ,Snoopy Makes to Peppermint Patty's house (coming to NBC ) , the next day things take a turn (No TV and no beer makes Snoopy...? no?) every one back at home notices how quiet things are with out him , but Snoopy has decided not to go to the farm and he stays with Peppermint Patty. (Charlie Brown should have really checked this plan) He stays there a week so far and the farm calls Charlie Brown telling him that Snoopy hasn't shown up. (hmm not the best system) he also finds out that he's still at Peppermint Patty's and that Snoopy is using her a servant. (Why didn't Peppermint Patty call , CB?) Snoopy escapes from Charlie Brown when he tries and gets him and goes back to Peppermint Patty. Though she makes rules for him , he has to do chores for the house , while everyone else is missing him. (Also Snoopy hates leashes) For a note: Lucy misses Snoopy , that doesn't happen much. Meanwhile Snoopy enraged about doing chores and breaks some , so Peppermint makes him sleep in the garage. He makes his escape .
When I escape , I escape with a mustache/ Copyright peanuts
He goes back to Charlie Brown's ( also his ) home and he and C.B get are happy to see each other again and their classic dance. (the Tango?)
That's the episode with some spoilers (mean ) I liked this special ,especially Snoopy's imagination that he is an French rest stop in World War 1. Also it's very different to see Lucy miss Snoopy and be glad that he is back , that's a nice one.
