What If THE FLINTSTONES Was Made Today? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Would the caves have satellite dishes instead of TV antennas on the roof?

Would the citizens of Bedrock have cell phones, home computers, microwave
ovens, and DVD players?

One thing I know they wouldn't have to worry about: high gasoline prices!
(No, just lots and lots of pairs of sturdy shoes!)

Fred and Wilame would be Gradparent's

It would be horrible, thank God the Flintstones was made in the 1960's.

Yes, I think it wouldn't be as popular and have the cult status it has today.

Well, for one thing, today it would probably be drawn by computers!

The thinking today seems to be that anyone drawing with pencil and paper is
as primitive as ... drawings on cave walls!

Another thing the music was better back then.

Imagine if they did the Flintstonestoday and had someone like Brintey Spears as a guest, yucccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Remember the Flintsone Kids series from the 80's?

It was terrible.

But the younger versions of Fred and company used some gadgets that weren't invented during the original Flintsones series, like "walkman" personal stereos and radio controlled cars. Young Fred loved to ride around on his skateboard too.

They would probably go the Family Guy/South Park route and trash it with grossout and gutter humor.

It would be so modernized

and computerized as I will call it lol. The kids on the show might be a little fresher and more electronics would be involved.
