This sounds like a bad idea. Will he make it adult themed like Family Guy? Can Seth even make a family friendly show?

I dont think whoever owned the right to the Flintstones would agree to let Seth remake the show if he was gonna make it like Family Guy. Why destroy the wholesome image of the Flintstones?

Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Clone Wars) and some of the guys from Ren and Stimpy did a Flinstones movie a decade ago (Flinstones on the Rocks) that was more adult and was damn funny.

I don't see MacFarlane being that subtle with the humor.

I'll give it a chance, he won't have as much liberty as he does with his own creations.

I really hope they cast James Arnold Taylor as Fred, anyone else would be idiotic.

He did have some cartoon shorts on Cartoon Network early on that were kid friendly...

The first season of the Flintstones was adult themed and was sponsored by Winston cigarettes.

Suggestive humor existed in the cartoon:

Dammit, he is just not funny. Oh well, at least I don't give a shite about the Flintstones, so he can ruin it all he wants.

Family Guy is losing its luster, IMO. The Simpsons continues to be a better show than Family Guy.

Family Guy might not be what it used to be, but The Simpsons has flat out sucked for the better part of a decade. I'm not sure of the exact last time I laughed while watching The Simpsons, but I know it was before we invaded Iraq.
