Your MeTV station must be one of those that pre-empts certain
programming for other stuff sometimes.

fortunately, unlike our EVIL NBC BLUE NETWORK affiliate here which
only shows a half hour of World News Now, the MeTV carrier
broadcasts the full line without fail (modulo special stuff
like tornado warnings, etc.).

The schedule (on the xFinity page) for two weeks forward

Now if we could only get them to restore the proper
intro/outro for season one, as opposed to using the
clips from the later seasons.  That's right, they're
showing Bam Bam and Pebbles in Season One...

(Getting them to restore the five minutes they've
clipped to shovel in more commercials is, of course,
a near hopeless cause.  As is gettin them to air
the episodes they've cancelled out 'cuz PC)

I wish I could find the original sheet music for THE FLINTSTONES,
particularly the closing credit score. That's some good stuff.

So none of these work?

 No, I'm looking for the original orchestral recording scores. Those are
all just piano arrangements and duets and they're simplified for
beginner-level musicians.

 This is closer-- it's an arrangement of the main theme for orchestra--
but it's still not the original and it's arranged for players who aren't
at the level of the studio orchestras that did those old cartoons.

Fascinating, I had no idea that "arranged at the level of those studio orchestras" was even a thing.  In fact I would bet money that it isn't.
