"Family Guy" Creator to Revive "Flintstones" for Fox

Yabba dabba doo, the Flintstones are headed back to television! Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane will put a modern spin on the classic cartoon about the prehistoric Flintstone family, Fred and Wilma, and their neighbors, Barney and Betty Rubble, Fox television announced on Monday.

"The very first cartoon character I drew at age two was Fred Flintstone," MacFarlane said in a statement.

"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.”

Though much of the cartoon will remain the same, MacFarlane expects to add a lot of modern updates, taking into account “the animal version of the iPod” and things like that.

Kevin Reilly, Fox entertainment president, said the network is excited about bringing the Flintstone characters to a "whole new generation."

"Fox has long been home to iconic families like the Simpsons and the Griffins, so I have no doubt that the Flintstones and the Rubbles are going to fit right in on our air," Reilly said.

Production for the Flintstones will begin this fall, while the show will premiere sometime in 2013. 

Americans first met the Flintstones in the 1960s, and the popular cartoon has inspired multiple television specials, videogames, and three Hollywood movies.

How long do you think it will take for a remake of The Jetsons?

MGM, Screen Gems Hire Writer for Carrie Remake

Another movie remake is on the way, only this one is from the 1970s rather than the 1980s. MGM and Screen Gems have hired playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa to write a script for a Carrie remake, one that is more faithful to Stephen King’s 1974 novel by the same name than the 1976 film adapation starring Sissy Spacek. Carrie is the tale of a telekinetic teen whose insane mother and cruel classmates drive her to use her powers for murder.

So what does Stephen King thing about a Carrie remake?

“I’ve heard rumblings about a Carrie remake, as I have about The Stand and It,” King told Entertainment Weekly. “Who knows if it will happen? The real question is why, when the original was so good? I mean, not Casablanca, or anything, but a really good horror-suspense film, much better than the book. Piper Laurie really got her teeth into the bad-mom thing. Although Lindsay Lohan as Carrie White… hmmm. It would certainly be fun to cast. I guess I could get behind it if they turned the project over to one of the Davids: Lynch or Cronenberg.”

Aguirre-Sacasa is a well-known comic book author who adapted King’s epic novel The Stand into a comic book back in 2008.

Though I could care less about most movie remakes, I actually find the idea of Carrie redo kind of interesting. I’m a big fan of King’s early works and Carrie was one of my favorite books. Plus, today's teens have probably never even heard of Carrie, but would relish a film about revenge on cruel classmates (hence the appeal of a redo). I’d probably see a remake if it came out. How about you?

[ Desktops ] Open Question : What kind of surface can I use to place computer components on when switching them between computers?

I'm in the process of transferring several components (RAM, a hard drive, a video card, a sound card, and a DVD-recording drive) from a dead PC to a replacement. I don't have any anti-static bags at the moment to make a surface to set the removed components on and to store them later. What can I use as a substitute that will keep them safe, both during the set-down process and the storage process, until I can get some anti-static bags and transfer them over? Thanks for the help.

Macho Man Randy Savage Dies in Car Accident

Macho Man Randy Savage

One of the most famous wrestlers of all time, Macho Man Randy Savage, died today in a car accident in Tampa, Florida.

Randy’s brother, Lanny Poffo, says that the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 this morning, and lost control of the vehicle. Florida Highway Patrol reports that Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median, through oncoming traffic, and “collided head-on with a tree.”

Savage was transported to Largo Medical Center, where he died from his injuries.

Savage’s wife of one year, Lynn, was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision, but survived with “minor injuries.” She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.

Savage was 58.

Macho Man began his pro-wrestling career in 1973, and joined the WWF in 1985. He became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase, “Ooooooh Yeaaaaah.” He was a seven-time world champion during his 9 year career with the WWF. In 1994, he left for WCW, where he wrestled until 1999. After a short stint with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Savage retired in 2005.
