  • Wake Me Up Before You Bamm-Bamm!

    This epiosde is the first appreance of Bamm-Bamm. Well, if the Flintstones can have a kid, why not the Rubbles? Bamm-Bamm is a kid who got the strength and the wooden club. But someone who is a rich person, claims Bamm-Bamm. That mostly is a rip off of "the Jetson" epiosde where the family got into a dispute with a rich man over Astro. When it came to the court battle, the rich has a lawyer who always wins and Barney is stuck with someone who always losses. I like Bamm-Bamm. He's fun to see him yelling "Bamm-Bamm." Not a bad episode.moreless

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (6)

    • Judge Stonyfeller gets his name from the Rockefellers. Bronto Berger is based on Perry Mason's nemesis Hamilton "Ham" Burger.

    • The Stonyfellers' butler is named George.

    • The commentary on the DVD points out that this episode talks about two surprisingly serious subjects for a 1963 cartoon -adoption and suicide.

    • Bamm-Bamm was based upon a Ruff & Reddy character named Ubble Ubble, a very strong Neanderthal boy.

    • Although Bamm-Bamm is introduced in this episode, he will not become a regular character until much later in the season. In some episodes, he is only seen in trailers preceding the opening credits which don't appear in the actual episode.

    • Goof: Notice at the end of the episode, Bamm-Bamm's hair is red like Pebbles, then changes to white when the gang starts laughing.

  • QUOTES (0)

  • NOTES (3)

    • This episode was recorded on 6-12-63.

    • This episode was redone as part of the 1994 movie adaptation of the series.

    • Barney and Betty's adoptive son, Bamm-Bamm, is introduced in this episode. Even though this episode introduces the character, he is actually seen first in episode P-98, with no explanation. This is obviously why the network chose to air this episode before P-98, "Daddies Anonymous."

  • ALLUSIONS (1)

    • Characters: Perry Masonry, Bronto Burger

      The two lawyer characters in this episode are spoofs of heroic defending attorney Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) and his constant prosecutorial adversary Hamilton Burger (William Talman). Unfortunately Barney is represented by the one who always loses.
