Can we really be sure it will be PC though? This is coming from Warner Studios not Disney. Sure it won't be like the original but I will give it a try if it appears on a network or service I receive. I will not take on a subscription to see it though.

Correcting my lyrics in my previous post: We'll have a gay old time, lol. Memory loss.

I guess something was up because they were using Fred Flinstone in some sort of TV commercial, can't remember which one, recently.

I'm hoping it will be on network TV.

The new show will be “a primetime animated adult comedy series based on an original idea featuring characters from The Flintstones,” according to Variety.

It's exactly what I expected to hear, given the initial reports.

Yes, but it won't be what it used to be, and Wilma will probably slap Fred when he uses the term.

I'm hopeful since it's going to be geared towards adults, which was a smart move. Kids today don't appreciate them like that, nor do they really know The Flintstones outside of a Coco/Fruity Pebbles commercial. I think the thing I'll be excited for the most are the wisecracking puns and jokes from all of the animals (dishwasher, garbage disposal, etc), since it'll be adult humor.


Side note: Does anyone remember when Seth McFarlane (creator of Family Guy), was going to revive the series a few years back? He said when he pitched it to Fox that they told him they loved it, but "weren't sure how it would fit into their network."

I can live without Alan Reed (voice of Fred) and Jean Vander Pyl (voice of Wilma) and even Mel Blanc (voice of Barney) as there have been iterations of the Flintstones without them however Harvey Korman will always be The Great Gazoo and without him they just need to forget the character

If it's like the new Scooby Doo, I'll pass
