Seth MacFarlane to ruin The Flintstones
the smurf?
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
Quality programming on the FOX network. You expected less? For shame...
You can't really ruin something that was already a turd anyway. But even if you happened to like the Flintstones, it can't get worse then the slew of live action movies. There's really nowhere to go but up for the series.
This makes my heart hurt.
My children will not grow up with this as their Flinstones.
This is going to be rather interesting. I wonder if this new Flintstones will share the same styles as his other shows. Well, probably not because Fred only has one kid in his family.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Family Guy kind of started out as a modern-day Flintstones. But hey, it can't be worse than what they've been doing to Scooby Doo.
Seth Macfarlane and his shows aren't funny, so this won't be funny. What is there to discuss?

Pick your poison.
I can see it now: 'You think that's bad Barney? Remember that time we did something completely unrelated to the plotline of this episode?'
Anyway, I bet it'll be no Viva Rock Vegas, now that was classic Flintstones.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
My thought process:
"How can anything ruin the Flintstones? There's nothing to ruin"
"Is Seth MacFarlane that gay guy in Will & Grace? More like the Flintstones are ruining Seth MacFarlane"
"Oh, it's not him. Who's this guy?"
"Meh."
Agreed! My little sister was watching the new Scooby Doo the other day & I caught 5 minutes of it. My inner child wept it was so bloody bad!Originally Posted by Jessweeee♪
As far as Seth MacFarlane goes, I think every time he does something new it ends up better or as good as what came before.
I'm not the biggest fan of Family Guy to begin with. Peter's character is just so smurfing stupid. He does random stuff for the sake of being random and a lot of the time it fall completely on it's face & I'm sitting there going "what the smurf? Was that suppose to be funny?" Luckily the show has Brian & Stewie, without the 2 of them I don't think I'd watch it. I also love the delicious irony of Mila Kunis (swoon) voicing Meg
Then there's American Dad & The Cleveland Show. I love American Dad because it's humor tends to succeed where Family Guy often fails! In actually being funnyThe Cleveland Show surprised me with how funny it is! I mean Cleveland was just the token black guy in Family Guy but in his own show he's just dynamite
As to whether or not I would like to see Seth MacFarlane rework the Flintstone. Ah no! He will do 1 of 2 things to it & fail miserably at both. 1. He's try to make what his idea of an "edgier" version of the original would be ie he'll probably turn Fred into an idiot like Peter. Or 2. he'll make it sort of like a Simpsons deal where it appeals to adults & kids which again will fall flat on face because the original was just a fun kids cartoon and trying to alter that is just wrong!
^^^ The original Flintstones wasn't just a kids cartoon. It was aimed at children and adults. A lot of the dialogue, and plot lines were aimed at adults. Similar to Rocky and Bullwinkle. Not to sound mean, just sayin'
Here's an old commercial with the characters, it's obvious who the target of the commercial was.
Yeah I caught some sexual jokes in that show. Looking back it seemed more for adults than children.

It was inevitable, what with the characters in the Flintstones being easily able to fit into the cookie-cutter character roles in Family Guy and its spinoffs.
