Assuming it goes to series and pops up somewhere I already have, I’ll watch

Count me out. I don't like the classics reframed in contemporary context.

It maybe a classic but not everything ages well.

There’s no way it can be as bad as every post-original series Flintstones incarnation from the ’70s through the ’90s — especially when Henry Corden was voicing Fred.

So they're going skip the ice age and put them in a timeline where dinosaurs and mammoths have been long extinct man somebody didn't pay attention in world history class but in all fairness the original Flintstones wasn't all that accurate either.

I'm going to give it a try. It'll be great to see a grown up Pebbles. You can't keep her a baby forever. The last time we saw her was when she and Bam Bam had babies. Time for a fresh update.

Probably be more woke than a mouse in a metal concert.

Dude111 · 08-01-2021, 08:22 PM

Wont be funny at all......

jimpickens · 08-01-2021, 08:24 PM

Agree but will still watch at least the pilot.

king of comedy · 12-18-2021, 01:33 PM

I'm glad Seth MacFarlands' Flintstone reboot fell thru. It would have been garbage. At least this one will be fresh and differant and not the same. Do we really need Seth to voice the lead in another show? I don't think so. Time to deflate his massive ego.

Elizabeth Banks Leads Voice Cast of "Bedrock" as it Scores Pilot Presentation at Fox
by Rosy Cordero
March 10, 2023

Elizabeth Banks' "Bedrock", which she has been shepherding for the past two years, has scored a pilot presentation at Fox.

The Voice Cast:

Stephen Root as Fred
Amy Sedaris as Wilma
Nicole Byer as Betty
Joe Lo Truglio as Barney
Elizabeth Banks as Pebbles
Manny Jacinto as Bamm-Bamm

The primetime animated adult comedy series continues the story of the Stone Age family.

Bedrock catches up with the Flintstone family two decades later, with Fred on the brink of retirement and 20-something Pebbles embarking on her own career. As the Stone Age gives way to a shiny and enlightened new Bronze Age, the residents of Bedrock will find this evolution harder than a swing from Bamm-Bamm’s club.

Warner Bros. Animation and Fox Entertainment are producing.
