Animation Elizabeth Banks to Make The Flintstones Sequel Series!

Yeah, that's it. The people on the forum based largely on hundred million dollar blockbusters hate anything mainstream.

actually thats quite true. look at anything that is popular in geek/fanboy culture once the main public take a shine to it fans turn on it

its' happened with everything, it happens all the time.

i'm not saying family guy hasn't dropped in quality but because you attach mcfarlane's name to anything and a group of people will automatically start *****ing

Fair enough. But that's not the case for all fanboys or all people that don't like Seth. I just don't like the guy or find his humor entertaining. I'll jokingly take a shot at him from time to time, but I won't start whining and complaining whenever his name comes up.

as you said fair enough. but as my point still stands while some have a legit concerns and criticisms others just want to ***** and moan. hell on of the worst i seen was a bunch of fans who insisted that the LOTRS effects were crap and didn't capture tolkens ideals

What???

You've gotta be making that up.
 
This is gonna be a disaster.

MacFarlane's own shows are a mess. The wrtiting FG AD, and The Cleveland Show have been mediocre for years now. He can barely get the toilet humor and side gags to work on his current shows what makes FOX think he can work with more complex humor like that utilized on The Flinstones.

Family Guy is just plotless lately. Every episode is written so lazily it's not funny.
The Cleveland show- just a horrid mess. Cleveland Brown is the whitest Black Man in America. His show is bland and the characters just FG rip-offs. Seriously, TCS could be friggin hilarious if the writers understood Black culture and made fun of it, but they choose to re-has Family Guy scripts instead of making the show stand out.
American Dad is so busy trying to be dark that no one can relate to the humor. The whole show comes off as mean-spirited and nasty.

All these approaches to comedy just don't fit The Flinstones.

How about FOX take a risk on something new instead of re-hashing old concepts.

No. I'm right.

No, you're not. There have been some episodes that are decent, maybe even good. But as a whole, the entire run of Family Guy since it's renewal has been awful. Characters became worse, storylines completely stupid, and an over dependence on cutaways for jokes.

Take for example the episode where Meg becomes religious. Brian shatters her faith simply because of his ego, he can't stand anyone being religious. Then there's the stupid **** they do far too often like Conway Twitty, Peter injuring his knee, the chicken fights (they've become overdone), and that episode where they played Surfin Bird about 20 times. The Star Wars episodes saw a rapid decline in quality. The first was pretty good, the second meh, and the third awful. Hell, they're even honest from the beginning they're just doing it out of obligation ("Ugh, we're going to do Jedi aren't we?" "Let's just get through this...").

Don't forget how now they'll play an entire music video as a cutaway...
 
Awful or awful, ya'll.
 
Or what about the episode where Peter battles the FCC? Hit-or-Miss, ya'll.

If I hadn't tried so hard to forget all the bad episodes I've seen on Adult Swim, I could name 5 for every good one you mention.

CHALLENGE #1

1. North by North Quahog (Peter and Lois battle Mel Gibson)
2. The Cleveland–Loretta Quagmire (Glenn Quagmire, you a dead man)
3. The Courtship of Stewie's Father (It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time)
4. The Fat Guy Strangler (Lois has a brother... and he hates fat people)
5. Patriot Games (Peter joins the New England Patriots)
6. Sibling Rivary (Bertram Returns)
7. Petergeist (The Poltergeist Spoof)
8. Stewie Loves Lois (Peter molested by the doctor)
9. Blue Harvest (Star Wars spoof)
10. Stewie Kills Lois (He finally did it.)
 
Personally, the only Post season 2 episode I actually giggled at was the one where Stewie spent the entire day with the cast of Star Trek and they got on his nerves. Whatever else was happening in the episode, since Stewie's story was the side-plot, didn't grab me (sad that the side-plot was funnier and more memerable than the main plot, whatever it was).

Pretty much, if you throw out a hundred episodes of a IMO terrible show, at least ONE of them will actually be bearable. Roll the dices for an entire hour, at SOME point you'll get the roll you wanted.

I hope they'll at least have something closer to the original designs.

I wouldn't consider any of those good, especially compared to the pre-canceled seasons. And as I said...

I don't know why people think that a show made by Seth McFarlane that is due to air on FOX is going to be family friendly. It's not like Animation Domination's target demographic is aching for some good wholesome family fun.
