The Flinstones being rebooted by....?

[bassman]

Seth McFarlane?!? I'm really starting to dislike this guy. Seth MacFarlane finally gets to work on a project he's been passionate about for awhile-- THE FLINTSTONES. The battle for the rights to do this with MacFarlane at the helm have been going on for some time now. The negotiations between 20th Century Fox TV, where McFarlane is based, and Warner Bros Television have been quite complicated. The WB obtained the rights to THE FLINTSTONES after they absorbed famed producer Hanna-Barbera. Warner Bros. has been a bit skeptical about MacFarlane taking over both the television and film properties. This all due to the fact that they don't want the original prehistoric family to come back raunchy. But MacFarlane prevailed and is getting his chance to give the series a reboot. Deadline indicates that a series would be first, then possibly a film if all goes as planned. "Like that one time."

That is all. "Hey, remember that one time, when I thought I'd do a show about Cleveland? And it sucked?"

I'd like to randomly quote Jango Fett, but I won't. This is good news. Maybe they'll reboot The Honeymooners as well! That was a great show, wasn't it? Yeah... No, actually. It was very very bad. Now I remember. Boo, sir. Boo. What the world needs is creativity. What it gets is safe sex. That still causes unwanted pregnancy. And poo.
