The Flintstones

Probably my favorite classic cartoon series. I love it so much.

I am semi-excited that Seth MacFarlane is reviving it, but if Dino starts to talk, then I might have a problem.

I remember when Dino actually talked in one episode. I still watch this occasionally on Boomerang. A true diamond in the animated cartoon genre. I just hope Seth MacFarlane doesn't fuck it up, but he should be quite capable ay giving is something to look forward to.

I have high hopes that he doesn't fuck it up. In an interview that I read in EW, MacFarlane said that he wants to keep it loyal to the original. Have no clue what that means, but I have a gut feeling that he is going to throw in the usual MacFarlane humor if this airs on Fox. Not usually a bad thing, but I want no cutaways and no toilet humor (unless its actually clever).

MacFarlane's reviving it? o.o Well, I guess that's fine. I'll probably watch, but I agree with Clappy on the no cutaways. I really don't want to see any potty humor at all, although I doubt that will happen.

I mean Seth MacFarlane does seem passionate about the material since he has made a fair amount of cutaways to The Flintstones on Family Guy. It's his just his brand of humor that makes me concerned. I like Seth MacFarlane, but The Flintstones is one of the most iconic animated franchises ever. It's going to be a challenge.

Anywho, did anyone ever watch that Pebbles and Bam Bam spin-off? I never got around to watching it, but I heard it was shit.

They show Pebbles and Bamm Bamm occasionally on Boomerang. Being a fan of the original, I grew to like it some.

Always loved to stay up late and watch this show.

9/10

Loved this show. It's a classic.
