The Pros & Cons Of 'The Flintstones' Remake in 2013 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Flintstones (Fox)

What: That the second longest-running primetime animated series is coming back to TV isn’t the big surprise. It’s the pairing of the kid-friendly Flintstones brand and decadent Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane (who has lovingly mocked The Flintstones in the past) that makes this project certain to have a fascinating outcome.

Status: Series order targeting 2013.

Pro: MacFarlane has an amazing track record at Fox (those who think it’s easy for him to keep launching similar shows into that Sunday animated block ought to check out failed pretender Allen Gregory‘s ratings). Plus, his team has proven they can find humor in literally any subject.

Con: Prehistoric setting could make contemporary humor tricky. Here’s MacFarlane doing what I’m assuming he thinks is the bad-funny version of an updated Flintstones.

If they're drawn like the above photo and the voices are similiar to the original then it may have a chance. We'll see.
