Seth MacFarlane to ruin The Flintstones

[Shattered Dreamer]

^^^ 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.

I haven't seen it in about 12 or 13 years so I guess I missed the double entendres

As others have said, if we were talking about someone other than Seth McFarlane, I would say something along the lines of:

Someone is going to "ruin" The Flintstones is like saying Sega "ruined" the Sonic franchise...you can't ruin something that has no direction to go but up.

But that's not the case, we're talking about Seth McFarlane, and if anyone can make a crappy old churned out formulaic Hannah Barbera cartoon worse than it was to begin with, it's him.

But everyone's bigger concern should be that ANYONE is doing a "Flinstones Reboot"...I mean really? A reboot of The Flintstones? I mean seriously, did the world need, or even demand that? Has the television industry really dug that far down into the barrel's bottom?

Hearing about things like this, and the Hawaii Five-O reboot and the potential Dallas reboot kinda makes me weep for future entertainment. Do I have nothing to look forward to in the future but rehashes of crappy franchises I didn't care about to begin with?

Sigh.

I just hope there's no more inter-species sex. The sexual tension between Brain, a dog, and Stewie, a baby, weirds me the smurf out. All of the animals talk in The Flintstones

My llama-wife (Julia) and I are offended and appalled at your close-minded views of our relationship.

Except Dino.

I'm sure Seth will have to change that though, and Dino will become Brian.

Meh, anything Hanna-Barbera came out with were terribly cheap and crappy cartoons. The Flinstones being no exception.

[Jessweeee♪]

Yeah, Scooby-Doo and its carbon copies aren't too different than what McFarlane has going on xD

So pulling the Flintstones into that, well, it can't be too bad.

Okay, I must admit something. I just watched an American Dad episode with a little segment of the husband and wife free running. I must admit it made me laugh out loud. In fact the whole episode has been funnier than anything I would have expected.


Maybe I'm going brain dead. Well, MORE brain dead.

Oh god I hope you're wrong :/
