man they totally did give up on this franchise after the '90s ended, didn't they? it seems like once Jean Vander Pyle died they pretty much packed it in.

It's really because of WB getting the H-B stuff and not doing anything with them except for Scooby-Doo
wasn't there a new yogi bear series that leaked on Cinemaphile a few months ago?
If you are talking about the one with Yogi working at FedEx, that one was a rejected concept from 10 years ago.
Did they really need to? Imagine a Fred Flintsone get iPad episode.
they're stone tablets actually
>tablets
>stone age
cringe might as well put the prehistoric animals out of business too
they could always bring back this old concept and make into a what if story.
what's the point if they're not cavemen anymore
You can blame the 2nd movie for that. The first one did well and was moderately popular(over 300 million dollars at the box office) despite being slow and somewhat depressing. The 2nd one was a bomb that didn't even make it's budget back. They assumed people only liked the first movie for the cast and didn't give a shit about the Flintstones, rather than understand the terrible plot of the 2nd movie is what killed it. They brought in Gazoo for gods sake.
I didn't even know there was a second movie
I dunno how you managed to avoid Flintstones:Viva Rock Vegas, but congrats.
The pre-Pebbles seasons are probably better and funnier- but most people recognize the Flintstone as the Pebbles/bam-bam as babies stuff. They gambled on doing a prequel because of the smaller budget and not getting the 90's movie cast back- and that didn't help.
Even as a kid I thought it got very little marketing. It wasn't DTV, but it felt like it was.
Wasn't Seth Mcfarlane trying to make a new show? I swear there was something about that from like 2007 or thereabout and then NOTHING
for a little while he was yes, but then he left the project, it went dormant for about a decade, and now it's back as of a few years ago with no details other than 'flintstones for adults' and we havent heard a peep since then, who knows if its still happening
fell through because he didn't agree with Fox's demand to make Family Guy but in the stone age
He said he couldn't make Fred different from Peter https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/70bf9u/comment/dn1y5q6/
That's so strange because Fred is a much more proactive character
and much less moronic
Eh, I'd say more like early Homer where he's dumb, but still capable of functioning. I mean, Flintstones was basically an animated version of The Honeymooners, just toning down the husband's aggressive tendencies and all that. I would imagine all Seth would have to do is just make more adult jokes and maybe imply some more sultry things than what even the original cartoons were able to get away with
Fred was more of a schemer, hard headed but not really dumb
He could be at times, though it was significantly rarer than what we had with the likes of early season Homer and pre-cancellation Peter who were definitely stupid at times, and only got progressively worse to the point that one of them even got diagnosed as having a mental handicap.
Of course, with the current trend of television being "haha, guys are dumb", I guess there is a chance a modern Fred would just be mad into a straight up idiot who couldn't Yabba Dabba Doo his way out of a paper bag
Fred wasn’t stupid at all, he just had severe anger issues. The dumb dad archetype didn’t become a thing until after the Simpsons popularized it.
It’s rooted in the 20th century anyway, using the prehistoric premise as satire.
It doesn’t work with 21st century.
Let the franchise peacefully die.
We saw Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty become grandparents. Let them retire
SiIvaGunner will like to have a word with you.
ok
Its for the best, they'd only current year it
166 episodes was a good run
>GRAND DAD! FLEENTSTONES!?
Was it THAT bad?
