Seth MacFarlane Bringing the Flinstones Back To TV

Everything that is old makes rounds to become new again.  That is just the way our culture works.  Make way because the Flinstones are making their way back to TV.

Rumors have been floating around for a while about Family Guy creator, Seth MacFarlane, rebooting the cartoon.  Well it looks like it's going to happen.

While at the South By Southwest Festival, he confirmed to the crowd that he was indeed bringing back Fred and Wilma.  Here is what MacFarlane said:

"It's still in the early stages — I'm finishing a rewrite on the pilot. We're trying to, essentially, stay true to what that show is. There's something cool to me about, in 2013, turning on your TV and seeing 'The Flintstones' and having it look like 'The Flintstones.' There's really not a lot about that show — other than the references to 1960s America, which really come through in the writing more than the visual — that needs to be changed visually and stylistically. They invented the template that we're using in animation. We kinda want to keep it, more or less, the same. The stories that we tell will be a little more current."

I agree that it is going to be interesting to see fresh, up-to-date Flinstone episodes, but it looking like the Flinstones.  So what do you think?  Is the reboot a good idea or should they just leave it alone?
