Family Guy creator/rememberer of things Seth MacFarlane has closed a deal to reboot the Flintstones franchise through a series of “tv and film projects.” Predictably, this has been met with an internet wave of “Oh God No”, probably because Seth MacFarlane makes bad things and people remember the Flintstones fondly; my colleague Alex Zalben summed up this impending disaster in an all-too-accurate Tweet, “Hey Wilma, do you remember the time when Oh Wait Nothing Has Happened Before This.” While I share and probably exceed the internet’s general distaste for Seth MacFarlane’s animated humor, and still believe The Flintstones was an objectively great show and not just something we remember fondly out of blind nostalgia, I also believe that some perspective is in order for the panicky masses who are acting like this MacFarlane announcement will somehow ruin the pristine legacy of one of television’s all-time most beloved cartoons.
