Deadline, is reporting that animation overlord Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad), after many years of negotiations between 20th Century Fox TV and Warner Bros Television, is rebooting The Flintstones as a TV and film property. A dream-come-true, reportedly, for MacFarlane, a mega-saurus Flintstones fan. There was some concern from the Flintstone rights-holders regarding MacFarlane's raunchy tone and how the new Flintstones would be treated, but it seems like everything got smoothed out in the end. This new series is still years off from airing, but when it does hit TV it will be on FOX. tv.ign.com/articles/116/1168551p1.htmlHope this is better than the Cleveland Show.

Rebooting the Flinestones is a hell of a risky venture as it is without Seth MacFarlane...

Oh God yes! This sounds incredibly epic! But I hope it's adult oriented. Either way I can't wait to see this.

This sounds good. Wondering how it's going to be, maybe new characters, or have a similar style to Family Guy. Should be good either way.

I hope it's not all "adult" like Family Guy and American Dad.

Weird. I'd like to see what he could do with it, just so long that it's not full of pop culture references galore like his other programs.
I'd personally give a project like this to John K of Spumco, I think he "gets" the early flat HB style and his brand of manic humor really meshes well with the characters.

I'll wait to see what he comes up with before I pass judgement. I hope he goes with a different animations style though.

The Danes call it "Quality!"

lol I'm not sure how this will work out. I am a big fan of the old Flintstones and Family Guy. I kinda like the Cleveland Show but never really found American Dad very entertaining..

I'll judge when I see the product, but I'm against it at heart. I love the Flinstones just the way they are.

I'm just guessing but seeing as he was a big fan he would want to stick to how it was or only make small changes instead of making like his other shows
