    Seth MacFarlane re-imagining the Flintstones

    I'll be the first to admit I don't care for Family Guy or that style of humor. That aside, I can't see this ending well.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    Family Guy was sort of funny at first, now the joke is old and I guess Macfarlane needs a new money maker. This is going to be really bad.

          MacFarlane's best days are already behind him.

          In a short time he'll be another Mike Judge

            Not seeing this working, but who knows? He's supposed to be a big fan, so maybe it'll be treated decently. I can't see Hanna-Barbera allowing the raunchy Family Guy style humor, as the 'stones are still big time money-makers in the licensing field.

              One of the most brilliant and creative animation minds in recent history? The guy who got my DAD to watch a cartoon show regularly?

              I highly doubt Seth will be remembered that well.


              Family Guy is/was/can be funny at times, but only for the sake of crude humor and one off nostalgia jokes. The rest of Seth's shows copy that format verbatim and thus... Feel like the same show.

              I can't imagine what he'll do to the Flintstones. Maybe he has a plan where he'll put good people in the right positions... Or maybe he'll just do a bunch of his style jokes and shat all over the franchise.

                Kind of like when they handed Yogi and Boo Boo over to John K.

                Not that Macfarlane hasn't been throwing the Flintstones into Family Guy for years.

                    How horrible could it be?

                    I'm open-minded about it...especially since I love The Flintstones.

                    Why not...

                        I don't think they'll let him be as raunchy as Family Guy or American Dad. I don't find the Cleveland Show to be as wild as the other shows. I bet the Flintstones will be good.

                          Well he's certainly going to have to stretch his writing skills a bit! He can't do "rememba the time" reference jokes with characters who live in pre-history.

                            I'm still a avid fan of Family Guy and Seth's stuff.. I'm not able to catch it all the new ones each week, but I enjoy the humor.

                              The Flintstones have been passé for quite a few years now.

                              The only place to go with them is the smut route, and that's right up MacFarlane's alley.
