 Well, I had Tweeted at them, and wrote a letter.
 
 Don't know if it was me (although I'll take credit!)
 but I just looked at next Sunday's - 26-May-2024, and
 it still has the interloper instead of Fred and Barney,
 
      HOWEVER...
 
 The schedule (on the xFinity page) for two weeks forward
 (Sunday, 02-June-2024) is back to three episodes of
 The Flintstones.
 
 *whew*
 
 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?

I found
 
https://musicnotesbox.com/hoyt-curtin-meet-the-flintstones-75139/
 
but that's the (second) opening theme, for piano.
 
I thought all the Hoyt Curtin compositions were collected on a Web site
but I'm not spotting it now.
 
I've posted that video that the Hoyt Curtin superfan made toward the end
of Curtin's life.
 
This has close to an hour's worth of cues from The Flintstones and
begins with "Rise and Shine", the original theme.

I still love the story that the Jonny Quest theme was written to get
back at his trombone-playing friends who told him his music was too
easy to play.

Here's a classical pianist playing along to a Tom & Jerry cartoon where Tom is
a classical pianist trying to get through a performance while Jerry sabotages
him.
