.......I'm guessing Seth MacFarlane's Flintstones revival must be dead. I mean, why would Post even replace Fred with Cena unless there really was no future for the franchise? Yeah, I believe it was dropped ages ago. Wow. And Fox paid a s**tload of money to get him those rights. (I guess TED's more than made up for it though...)

On top of that: A) Cena's on the box for a limited time only (although, there are plans for putting him back on during back to school time). B) The article says that market research was done that indicated that kids don't really care about Fred Flintstone.

Why do we not get the tastiest looking cereals in the UK?
Also, RIP Flintstones. I don't think they're on TV anymore either.

Well, to be exact the executives said that they "liked it, but didn't love it"[about the script] and offered him a chance to either put it on the backburner for a while or rewrite the script. He took the former option despite having already hired a ton of people to work on the series.

well at least Bam-Bam is on the box too. probably the only flinstones char that might be able to hold his own going 1 on 1 with cena like that.

I think it's great that money had to be spent on any sort of market research to determine that Fred Flintstone doesn't really resonate with kids today.

Damn. Why couldn't Rock have called Cena a Frosted Flake or some other cereal that doesn't taste like fruit-flavored cardboard?
