A show featuring two different cartoon segments,The New Fred and Barney Show (a revival of The Flintstones) and The Thing (based on the Marvel Comics superhero).

In a botched attempt to become human, Ben Grimm aka The Thing of the Fantastic Four, has found himself turned into a gangly teenager as his regular human form. While he barely considers this situation an improvement, he decides to live in this form to have some semblance of a normal life until a better solution can be found. However when trouble erupts, "Benjy" Grimm can strike together two rings together to change back into his form as the Thing. With his tremendous strength and rock body, The Thing can face any menace at hand.—Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@home.com>
