FLINTSTONE KIDS "JUST SAY NO" SPECIAL, THE (TV)
Summary
A prime-time animated special based on the series "The Flintstone Kids." In this program, the Flintstone Kids learn the value of saying no to drugs as they set out to win tickets to the upcoming Michael Jackstone concert. As the story opens, Wilma is tempted to drift away from her usual playmates Freddy, Barney, and Betty and join up with a gang of older kids who use drugs. Wilma resists the peer-pressure tactics of pre-teen pothead Stoney and instead seeks advice from her parents, who tell her that a real friend wouldn't offer her drugs. To the tune of La Toya JacksonÕs original composition, "Just Say No," Wilma, Freddy, and the others establish their own ÒJust Say NoÓ club. Next, Freddy starts up a pet cleaning service to raise ticket money for the upcoming Michael Jackstone concert. When FreddyÕs get-rich-quick scheme falls through, the children realize that their only hope of obtaining tickets is to beat Stoney and his gang at the upcoming Riddle Rally. The program concludes with a version of Michael JacksonÕs hit song "Beat It," with the lyrics specially rewritten to convey an anti-drug theme. This special also features comments from First Lady Nancy Reagan, Honorary Chair of the Just Say No Foundation, who offers a message of support to children who have chosen to live a drug-free life. Commercials deleted. This program is closed-captioned.
