Members wingwalker Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'm not sure how I feel about this, Seth MacFarlane did start out writing kids cartoons, so does know how to write a family cartoon that the Flinstones is and not just raunchy humor that is Family Guy, but at the same time, it's been such a long time since he's written a kids cartoon, I hope he hasn't forgotten how & does The Flinstone's justice.

Members DRW50 Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 I thought MacFarlane's shows were mostly about hate and cheap jokes. That's the antithesis of The Flintstones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members classicmoment Posted May 17, 2011 Members Share Posted May 17, 2011 And you know he didn't start out being JUST that to me. I don't know what gives I still love FG, CLEVELAND, and AD though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted May 18, 2011 Members Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think he knows the difference between his adult comedys and a kids show, he has done good kids shows in the past. But if this is going to be a sunday night comedy, i expect it to be much more adult and it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 18, 2011 Members Share Posted May 18, 2011 The question is what is adult. In recent years adult is just a byword for cheap jokes. I read that his shows like to tell jokes about men watching women go to the bathroom. Is that going to be a script for The Flintstones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted May 18, 2011 Members Share Posted May 18, 2011 adult being fratboy type humor, i would assume not your type of adult. lol. i expect the filnstones, if its to be paired with family guy/etc to be more like than them than the classic cartoon, but perhaps not quite as far. it needs to be different, more like the audiance that watches the shows it is paired with, but Seth seems to love the original so i doubt he will ruin it.

Members quartermainefan Posted May 18, 2011 Members Share Posted May 18, 2011 This sounds like a bad idea. Yeah it will be modern and perhaps a little cynical with current ways of talking. And then if that isn't bad enough, unless they can reanimate Mel Blanc and crew, it isn't even going to sound right. Just leave well enough alone!
