- Sadly, not the complete special, but again of interest to those who appreciate vintage Christmas broadcasts...here is what could be shown here - namely the open, commercial breaks, bumpers, and brief excerpts - of A Flintstone Christmas as aired on the NBC Network over KRBC Channel 9 in Abilene, TX (as well as KACB Channel 3 in San Angelo, TX.) (Once more, we are treated to the dreaded "vintage" lo-fi 5 kHz telco audio on the network feed - and on the special itself, the blacks being a very dark maroon.)
While this entire animated special (whose first airing this was) was taped all the way through on a Umatic 3/4" videotape, most of it had to be pruned here for display in order to avoid CZcams blockage.
A bonus "stocking stuffer" will follow.

It’s cool seeing commercial breaks during a flintstones Christmas.
This was also around the time period where there were holiday specials based on Saturday morning cartoons.
kids at this time got a bonus by seeing their favorite Saturday morning cartoon specials on a night other than Saturday.
👍🎄⛄🦕
I remember the TMNT doing that
The Flintstone Christmas shows when Pebbles and Bamm Bamm were 8 years old rather than baby aged or in a 1971 Flintstones spin off of their own - teen aged.
This was also a time when the commercials reflected what America is everybody was pretty much white on the commercials and I'm not being racist it's just the truth this is a white country that something like 70% of people are white and back then it was like 90 so now everybody on commercials is not white and if a white person is on a commercial or a TV show they're portrayed as morons and bozos and bad people this was the America I grew up in and people wonder why I die like Trump who I think is a bozo can become across as popular though because he reminds us of the great country we used to be before all these third world migrants came in here destroying our country
I didn't realize it was all commercials. I thought I was going to watch Flintstones Christmas.
Thank you so much for this!!! Merry Christmas!!
This is amazing to see! Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks for this-- nice memories of a happier time. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎄⛄🧑🎄
In the '90s, I started noticing cartoons and kid shows with depressed acting characters and adult problems. I'm so glad to go back in time and have the happy feelings! 😄🐁
Love the commercials
I'm surprised how well the tape quality was. I remember a lot of those commercials, especially the Kodak ads. Even though I was born in 1973, I still remember these ads.
Those Parker Brothers commercials bring back memories. I used to hit up my mother for those games every Christmas.
I remember the doll in the Polaroid pic. I forgot about the Riviton 300! I never got one. Maybe it'll FINALLY be under the tree, this year. I Believe In Christmas!! I'd forgotten about that show, too! Brought back my 7 year old feeling of, "Can't wait to watch it!" The "Pied Pepper," lol. Lots of good memories amidst this childhood Christmas special!!
No wonder they sued.
We have the full special of A Flintstone Christmas on NBC in 1977, next year
Thanks. Merry Christmas to you. Love seeing these vintage NBC promos from the time the bottom was falling out.
Enjoyed that a lot. I was 7 in ‘77 and watched this at the time. If we’re being honest you’ve captured the best parts. Even when I was seven I remember thinking it wasn’t as good as the real Flintstones. But warm memories anyway
Up All Night With Bob I was 8 in 1977 I a year older than you are I hope you will reply to this
Has only 7 months, when has 5 years was a 1st time watch this movie in 1982, of course in spanish latinamerican
I was 7, too. Love the old memories!
By then Alan Reed, the original voice of Fred Flintstone, had passed away; notice here he had a new voice, Henry Corden.
Love the old board game commercials. Wish someone could find old ideal game commercials not already on you tube.
I miss this one!!
That’s an NBC affiliate in Abilene, TX.
Wayne Krumbach I live in Texas but not Abilene I live in Beaumont on the Gulf coast by Louisiana I hope you will reply to this
@@sherryhannah9262 Abilene, Texas is many miles West of the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Aaahh. Christmas in Abilene. Wish there were more local commercials.
Simply amazing how technology would quickly make the title sponsors if not obsolete certainly facilitate a fall from grace in terms of their popularity and place in pop culture. It was cool revisiting the excitement, anticipation and the role board games played as a child. But also sad knowing that the Atari 2600 had been released three months before this airing, forever changing the landscape of kids toys- not necessarily for the better. Of course 20 years later the first cell phones with cameras were released. As a result 35 years later Kodak would file for bankruptcy. It makes one wonder in terms of games and gadgets what the future holds🤔.
The voice over for the Parker Brothers board game TV commercials for Dungeon Dice and Hot Tomato are done by Bob Kaliban.
The 16mm print looks good
I'm sure it's 35mm for the special itself. The networks used that gauge for their programs then.
@@ChristopherSobieniak very blurry but future prints were not blurry
@@kascnef 35mm would've yielded lesser film grain and similar limitations in picture snd sound quality inherit in 16mm. Home video recordings like this tend to mask that sharpness due to broadcast reception and lower resolution of the media used (VHS, Beta, etc.)
@@ChristopherSobieniak also is this print uncut unlike future home media release
@@kascnef Since this was the first airing of the special. I'm sure it would've been uncut, or at least as it was first produced.

A lot of things were better back then ,not because we were young ✌❤🤙🙏
01:50 The Kodak EK-6 that gives you this: A major lawsuit from Polaroid...
13:20 Wow! Based. --> I think you just clinched my donation
Gambler board game..a missed opportunity to have Kenny Rogers be the spokesman 🤣
Unfortunately, the game came out two years before Kenny Rogers recorded "The Gambler."
13:21 Didn't realize that there were even Kennedy conspiracists back then, huh.
💕💕💖💖💘💘
What know Grizzly Adams tonight!
@FuzzyMemoriesTV When we going to see A Flintstone Christmas on NBC, back in 1977? Next Year or so?

The original in spanish for latin america was between 1981 to 1986

It was being blocked, sorry. I tested thoroughly beforehand.
