The New Fred and Barney Show is a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series revival and spin-off of the original series, The Flintstones produced by Hanna-Barbera which aired on NBC from February 3 to October 20, 1979, and is the fourth incarnation of the Flintstones franchise. The series marked the first time Henry Corden performed the voice of Fred Flintstone for a regular series.

Premise[]

These new episodes were composed of the traditional Flintstones cast of characters such as Fred and Barney's children Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Rubble as toddlers, after having been depicted as teenagers on The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show on CBS in 1972; they returned to the form of teenagers on The Flintstone Comedy Show in 1980 on NBC. Some plots were familiar Flintstones stories while others consisted of new misadventures with witches and werewolves, as well as spoofs of late 1970's fads.

A second season of seven new episodes combined with reruns of The New Fred and Barney Show were broadcast on the package program Fred and Barney Meet the Thing and later on Fred and Barney Meet the Shmoo.

Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained a laugh track.
