Fox just announced the deal at its upfront this afternoon. Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly said production on the animated series will begin production in Fall 2011 for a 2013 premiere on the Fox schedule. In a cross-studio collaboration, The Flintstones will be produced jointly by 20th Century Fox Television and Warner Bros Television.

Thoughts?

I loved the Flintstones as a kid. I'm not sure how this will turn out.

Reboot of Flintstones...cool...

Wait, Seth MacFarlane is involved...NOOOOOOO!!!!!

*oldmanwinters* · 05-16-2011, 09:01 PM

Oh... Crap.

*Powder* · 05-16-2011, 09:11 PM

*Laughs* I'll give it a shot.

*Eiko* · 05-16-2011, 09:43 PM

Flintstones should stay how it is no reboot.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-16-2011, 10:30 PM

well let's see, any of the recent Flintstones cartoons that came out long after the OS run ended (80s/90s), all sucked more or less. and the movies, well the first one was ok but the second sucked. so i dunno if i like this idea or not

*Candy Kappa* · 05-16-2011, 10:39 PM

if theres no repeating backgrounds, I'm out

deadpoolRKO · 05-17-2011, 07:49 AM

how many shows does mcfarlane have out now?

family guy

american dad

hamburger something.

am i missing any?

*BubblyShell22* · 05-17-2011, 08:26 AM

If you're thinking of Bob's Burgers, that's not Seth's creation.

I'll give this a shot. I love Family Guy, so I don't think this will be too bad. Not a fan of American Dad or The Cleveland Show, which you didn't mention, Deadpool.

deadpoolRKO · 05-17-2011, 08:55 AM

the clevland show , that's right.

& oh i thought bob's burgers was his too. my fault.

It will. They're not going back and destroying the old show to replace it with the new one.

Does this have to be said in every thread about reboots?

**Jester** · 05-17-2011, 09:18 AM

Actually if you read Seth's Twitter, he said he was going to take the old Flintstones source material and "destroy every last bit of it. It'll be my Flintstones or nothing. Suck it, America!"

*BubblyShell22* · 05-17-2011, 12:03 PM

And that was probably a joke.

*gobo* · 05-17-2011, 12:16 PM

Seth MacFarlane doesn't joke... ever. Where'd you get that idea? O_o

*Donnie* · 05-17-2011, 12:45 PM

Love the Flinstones, don't like MacFarlane. Damn.

joe-eyeball · 05-17-2011, 04:49 PM

Could care less about a Flintstones reboot, because I never liked the original Flintstones, but I do like Family Guy, especially the first 3 seasons.

*Hero* · 05-17-2011, 05:21 PM

A stone-age Family Guy? I hope not.

^ I wouldn't doubt it.
