It was announced today that the creator of Family Guy, The Cleveland Show, and American Dad has been given the greenlight to revive the classic Flintstones franchise.
Deadline reports:
My scoop today follows years of very complicated negotiations between 20th Century Fox TV, where McFarlane is based, and Warner Bros Television, which owns the rights to the series after absorbing The Flintstones’ famed producer Hanna-Barbera. 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 Family Guy.
The show will debut in 2013. Are you excited for a return to Bedrock?
