FAMILY Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is about to Yabba-Dabba Doo The Flintstones again with a modern-day twist.
MacFarlane, who is also the brains behind American Dad and The Cleveland Show, is reviving the animation, which is due to hit screens on US network Fox in 2013.
The Flintstones originally aired in America from 1960 to 1966 and followed the lives of Bedrock residents Fred and Wilma Flintstone, their neighbours Barney and Betty Rubble and their children Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm.
MacFarlane said he'd always loved The Flintstones, explaining: "The very first cartoon character I drew at age two was Fred Flintstone. So it's appropriate that events have come full circle, allowing me to produce the newest incarnation of this great franchise.
"Plus, I think America is finally ready for an animated sitcom about a fat, stupid guy with a wife who's too good for him."

While I love the idea of a Flintstones revival, I don't really like Seth MacFarlane helming it. The only thing that the Flintstones and Family Guy have in common is that they're both cartoons.
