<a few years after The Simpsons leaves airwaves we will see the following Twitter announcement and experience deja vu>
... "Springfield," a #TheSimpsons sequel series from Disney Animation is in development at Fox. The show is said to be set 20 years after the events of the original series. Billie Eilish will voice Maggie as an aspiring 20-something rock musician struggling with day-to-day life. Eilish will also executive produce. Will be aimed at adults.

I can hope so, loved it (specially Carl Sagan). But I guess it is not.
Forreal. Maybe she'll make Thundercats next. Terrible ass director tbh
Also that Flintstones comic looks dope haha, wonder how long it ran for
Edit: my bad I thought she made Power Rangers too
For this to truly track with the Flintstones trajcetory, we'll need a few years' worth of explicitly kid-focused Simpsons spinoff material.
Always thought it was interesting how they did those Maggie Simpson shorts and put them in front of kids' movies when it's generally not that appropriate for children (not on the level of Family Guy raunchiness but still, I probably wouldn't let my kids watch it until they were 8 or so at least... he says having started watching Simpsons from the age of 4).
Flinstones was 12 issues, so there are two trades. I strongly recommend it. It's really a great comic with biting satire that hits hard all while avoiding feeling preachy or focused only on satire.
You can buy them as individual issues on Comixology, or read them for free with a subscription to DC Universe Infinite. (In the US at least.)
Only if The Smoo returns. The Flintstones did three spin-offs with that monstrosity.
I hope it's good in a way that it runs for ten years and not in a way that it gets cancelled too soon.
Also the Flintstones comic is, stone cold, the best thing I've read in the past ten years. It is utter perfection, a perfect mix of pessimism and optimism over the entire human experience.
Did I mention Werner Herzrock is in it?

Will watch.
I grew up watching Flinstones so I might as well watch this.

One day I will have to sit down and read this thing. Looks amazing.Reminder that this exists and is actually pretty damn good
This sounds like it could be cool. It feels like it has been over 20 years since I've seen the Flinstones in any media. The last cartoon I remember was some kind romantic comedy about how completely dysfunctional the lead's marriage was.
Also holly crap at these comic panels. They look really interesting.

By the time that actually happens, Maggie's voice actress will be someone who hasn't even been born yet lol
Hopefully not? Flintstones was my favorite cartoon growing up and that shit was hella disappointing to read. The concept of it was fine enough but I wish it hadn't been attached to something I enjoyed that much and been it's own thing.
Flintstones was a prime time show at the time, aimed at a wider audience than most cartoons at the time. I mean, Bugs Bunny didn't advertise cigarettes. It was basically a template of what animation could become in another 20-25 years.
So this is fair. I'm game.

IIRC the flintstones reboot was what fox was going to do assuming the simpsons ended. Then they renewed the simpsons and no longer had a hole they needed to fill.
I'll be impressed if they somehow reference this.
This is shown in Bravo Supermarket back when living in Apopka.
I'm really curious what a smartphone will be. I'm imagine so poor little pterodactyl tied to a string or something.
I don't know that you could announce a show that appeals to me less than anything related to the Flintstones but an adult aimed Flintstones show sounds horrendous. I guess it has to be aimed at adults because how many people under the age of 50 give a shit about the Flintstones?
Interesting that they changed the words to "a GREAT old time"
I don't know the context, and I don't want to know. Burst out laughing regardless.
It's a really good series of books. It's a lot darker satire than the cartoon ever was or could dream to be
One of the best comics in the last 20 years.
20 years after the original show not the spin-offs. She was still a baby (in fact she was born in season 2), so she will be in her twenties.
The Flintstones were just a rip off of the Honeymooners aimed at adults when it first premiered. Makes sense.
Hopefully it looks better than what the Seth MacFarlane version apparently got looked like
I agree with most that he probably would have done a fine job with the writing/tone but I am not a fan of the style. I wonder what Bedrock will look like!

I think I need to read thisIf we're doing Flintstones comic panels we can't skip the GOAT.
I don't know why but the family guy-style faces with the smug fucking smile and half-opened eyes made me irrationally angry. I'm very glad it was never greenlit.
Oh totally. I don't even hate Family Guy style that much, but it feels so shitty on them and Wilma and Barney not having dot eyes really bothers me lmao
