All 17 episodes of The New Fred and Barney Show: The Complete Series have been packaged together on Blu-ray for the first time by way of the Warner Archive Collection. The episodes are sourced from new 1080p HD masters from 4K scans of the original negatives.

The 1979 revival/spinoff series is presented in a 2-disc set in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio with side mattes and a DTS-HD MA 2.0 MONO soundtrack. The total running time is 410 minutes.

Anything starring Fred and Barney is worth watching in my book, even if this was the first time that Henry Corden stepped in to portray Fred Flintstone. Plus, the Blu-ray release marks the first time these episodes have ever been made available on any home video format on physical media.

Synopsis

Almost 20 years after its television debut, Hanna-Barbera brought The Flintstones back to network television in 1979 with an all-new series entitled The New Fred and Barney Show. Originally broadcast on Saturday mornings on NBC, this collection contains all 17 episodes of the “revival” series which captured the essence of what made the original series such an enduring fan favorite. Featuring the voice characterizations of Henry Corden as Fred, Mel Blanc as Barney, Jean VanderPyl as Wilma, and Gay Autterson as Betty, The New Fred and Barney Show is cleverly written and is making its official home video debut with this all-new Blu-ray collection.
