JURASSIC LARKS! THE RETURN OF "THE FLINTSTONES"

Rolling back for a new audience: THE FLINTSTONES. Image: HANNA-BARBERA.

Still iconically great after fifty years, and surviving several terrible live action or made for DVD spin-off movies, the legendary 1960's Hanna-Barbera stone age family comedy THE FLINTSTONES will be returning back to the past, but also with, courtesy of FAMILY GUY creator Seth MacFarlane, a brand new modern day cultural spin...

Coming in 2013, FOX (who own the rights) and WARNER BROTHERS (the home of so much hit animation these days) certainly know a good idea when they see it, and joining forces with MacFarlane and his team for this new series (which sounds intriguing) makes very good business sense. To his credit, he has long been a fan of the classic series and characters from Bedrock, which have often made unexpected cameo appearances in FAMILY GUY, so his respect for the original source material will no doubt show in the upcoming animated hit, which certainly gives it a very good chance of success in capturing a whole new generation of fans.

Yabba-dabba-do!!!!
