This seems unnecessary but maybe it'll be good?

Does that humor even fly today?
id rather them let seth macfarlane do an animated version like he was working on years ago
Well, that's . . . fine . . . I guess.
I mean, I like the Flintstones. I have the whole series on DVD. I even bought a Flintstones mask during this pandemic. But I've just seen more than a couple of shows lose their original charm in an attempt to supposedly regain the adult audience that they lost over their intervening years. And some of that has to do with trying too hard to be grown-up. But a lot of it has to do with how much the goalposts have moved in terms of what's considered "for adults". The thing is that during their youth, Gen Xers and older millenials (like myself) aka "The Rerun Generation" spent so much of our time watching older TV shows, particularly sitcoms, that were originally for adults that none of that seems particularly mature anymore. Content about holding down a job or grown-up domestic life was considered by definition "adult fare". By now . . . not so much.
Maybe I'm wrong, though. I wish them luck with Bedrock (which, after Smallville and Riverdale, sounds like it should be a teen drama about young Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty brooding their years at Bedrock High), but I'm a bit skeptical for now.
Flintstones? Well, yeah. I mean, it's really just a sitcom with cartoony caveman and dinosaur jokes. I mean, all you have to do is update the sitcom humor to be more like modern sitcoms, but that's kind of obvious. But the basic premise of a sitcom with a caveman cartoon setting, there's no reason it shouldn't work.
Edit: Just talking about the humor of the original. Will this new show work? Who knows...

Sort of done before, although as an early 70's teen show:

While I'm not a Family Guy fan, I don't think keeping it the same would necessarily fly today either. Simpsons updated the whole animated family sitcom format 30 years ago, so I suspect the Flintstones will be updated in some way too
