This is Seth MacFarlane we're talking about...

Okay. So what? If Eddie Murphy did it he would keep the elements that made The Flintstones well loved the same. I have a feeling MacFarlane will do the same since he is a fan of the show after all. I also am reading he is going to voice Barney as well. He also did state it would stay original too. Right now though due to his schedule it's been put on hold for now.
