The New Fred and Barney Show: The Complete Series Blu-ray.
he New Fred and Barney Show.
Created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
Original Run: Aired on NBC from February 3 to October 20, 1979.
Format: A 30-minute Saturday morning animated revival produced by Hanna-Barbera.
The "Return" Aspect: After depicting Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm as teenagers in earlier spin-offs (1971–1973), this series brought them back as toddlers to recapture the original series' feel.
Voice Acting Milestone: This was the first regular series where Henry Corden provided the voice of Fred Flintstone, taking over after original voice actor Alan Reed passed away in 1977.
Supernatural Elements: Unlike the original show, this version featured monsters and magic, including characters like Count Rockula and encounters with witches and werewolves.
The Package Deals: Many episodes were eventually aired as part of "package programs" like Fred and Barney Meet the Thing and Fred and Barney Meet the Shmoo, though the characters rarely crossed over outside of brief bumpers.
Laugh Track: Keeping with the 1970s style, the show included a canned laugh track
Visuals: The episodes are presented in 1080p High Definition, sourced from brand-new 4K scans of the original camera negatives.
Aspect Ratio: It maintains the original 1.33:1 aspect ratio with side mattes (black bars on the sides) to preserve the original television framing.
Audio: Features a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono soundtrack that provides clean and balanced audio for dialogue and music.
Episode Count: The set includes all 17 episodes spread across two discs.
Episode Order: The episodes are organized in their original production order rather than their original broadcast order.
Restoration Quality: Critics note that the colors are exceptionally vibrant, making characters like Dino appear almost "dayglo".
Content Limits: While this set contains all Fred and Barney segments, it does not include the separate The Thing or The Shmoo segments that originally aired alongside them in the "Meet the..." package blocks.
Bonus Features: Note that this release from Warner Archive does not include any special features or behind-the-scenes extras.
Disc 1: Contains the more grounded adventures like "Barney's Luck" and "Physical Fitness Fred".
Disc 2: Features many of the supernatural-themed episodes, including "Stone Age Werewolf" and "Blood Brothers".
