No mention of the live action Flintstones movies? I can't comment on Viva Rock Vegas because I never saw it, but the first one was kind of odd. It was a dark story about corporate power abuse, betrayal, and corruption that children never stood a chance of understanding, but it was marketed as a family film regardless. It seems like a pretty big oversight not to at least mention that they made a big mess of trying to do a more adult-oriented story.

Wow, that was informative. I think that's more information than I ever wanted to know about the Flintstones. Also Bob, you forgot about the live action movie starring John Goodman.
Whenever the Flintstones are mentioned, I can't help but think of this:
Its only in the last few years I found out that they were originally for adults as the original Flintstones were always ran in the kids TV spot when I was younger. Always enjoyed them though.

Quite simply "I'm Bob and I rock" would have done.
Also, besides watch the original Flintstones cartoon when it was aired over here I fondly remember CAPTAIN CAVEMAN! If I'm not mistaken he was also available in comic book form.
I always liked how scruffy he was ^_^

"I'm Bob and this is the Big pictogram"?Nah, that's not 65 000 000 B.C material...
I was wondering why the whole "Flinstone history" was shown until you mentionned Seth Macfarlane..

I'll admit, I'm not a big fan of the old-school Hanna-Barbera cartoons. When I was a kid, I barely watched them, and when I got older, I realized that they used the same formula of either families, funny animals, racers, small groups of creatures or mystery solvers over and over and over again, or just repackaged the various cartoons repeatedly.
Which is why "Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law" was a nice change of pace... come to think of it, they did have an episode starring a "Sopranos"-esque version of the Flintstones...

Best way to make sure everyone knows a trademark, beat it in and keep on going... I knew "The Flintstones" were old and repeated a lot but this much I'm almost want to see the (pherhaps) upcoming remake...
(Oh captcha "roast beef" very fitting I think)

I can't believe I've never heard of any of those spin offs before! So Captain Caveman is supposed to be a prequel to The Flintstones? Crazy.
I heard that Seth McFarlen wanted to reboot The Flinstones but I had no idea he wanted to reboot Cosmos too. I'd love to see that if Tyson gets the job hosting it. He's a great speaker. But come to think of it another good candidate could be Brian Cox. He has a similar kind of tone to Sagan, and he's done similar shows as well on several occasions. Maybe that's actually a reason why Tyson should get the show instead. Meh, either one would be great.

I agree, I get the feeling that if Mr. Macfarlene did get the show going, it will just be alot of jokes about conservatives and Christians.Shoggoth2588 said:
I used to really enjoy the first run of Family Guy, A few of those joke I mention but I have a sence of humor I did not take it personally. But now, it seems like entire episodes are dedicated to making fun of conservatives and Christians, and it is hard not to start too take it a little personally.
I guess I would like those shows more if they did more jokes about liberals (they have just as much comedy material as anyone else), Muslims, Jews, Buddha, Atheists, everyone.
Because, it is not discrimination if you discriminate against everyone (including yourself) equally.
