UPDATE — COMMENT FROM SETH MCFARLANE
“One of the first things I ever drew was Fred Flintstone,” MacFarlane said at the Fox Upfronts, noting that this new version has to keep up with the times, but that some things will remain familiar to fans of the original. “The characters will look the same but the only thing that will change is the stories. What’s the [prehistoric] version of an Ipod?”
As Deadline puts it, "Not only did the suits have a ton of deal points to work through, but I hear the "Yabba Dabba Doo" prehistoric family sitcom's rightholders were somewhat concerned how the classic series would be interpreted given MacFarlane's brand of raunchy comedies like The Family Guy. (But, if you ask me, Universal's dreadful Flintstones films were the real abomination...)."
So what's the feeling out there about a reboot of the Flintstones -- Yabba Dabba Doo, or Yabba Dabba Don't?
