"The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show" was a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series spin-off of "The Flintstones" produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, which ran for 16 half-hour episodes from September 11, 1971 to September 2, 1972 and four 10-minute episodes (as part of "The Flintstone Comedy Hour)" from September 9, 1972 to September 1, 1973 on CBS.

The show followed neighbors Pebbles Flintstone (voiced by Sally Struthers) and Bamm-Bamm Rubble (voiced by Jay North) in their teenage years as girlfriend/boyfriend. The episodes were set mainly in the duo's activities at Bedrock High School in the prehistoric town of Bedrock with their friends Moonrock, Penny, Wiggy, Cindy (Pebbles' rival) and her boyfriend Fabian, Bad Luck Schleprock and a motorcycle gang called the Bronto Bunch (Bronto, Noodles, Stub and Zonk). Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty were also featured on the show in supporting roles.

The series was produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, animation directed by Charles A. Nichols, and written by Neal Barbera, Walter Black, Larz Bourne, Tom Dagenais, Bob Ogle, Larry Rhine, Richard Robbins, Joe Ruby and Ken Spears. The music was composed by Hoyt Curtin.

A second season of four new 10-minute episodes aired on "The Flintstone Comedy Hour" in 1972; episodes from both seasons were later featured as segments on the syndicated weekday series "Fred Flintstone and Friends" in 1977.

In the late 1980s, repeats were shown on USA Cartoon Express and later resurfaced on Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
