Nobody cares about the Honeymooners.

Because people scream NOT MUH when the Flintstones get modernized, even though the concept is "today but with cavemen" that was first made in the sixties, not "the sixties but with cavemen"

Well we don't know if all would have failed as Seth wasn't allowed to make his.

Because media companies don't know what they want out of it and the last time a conglomerate was interested, Seth McFarlane killed the idea of it being brought to life because Fox wanted a "Family Guy" version of the series.

Too many cartoon sitcoms already? I dunno.

*blocks your pathos*

Took too long for this to be posted but

It's good, but it wasn't successful

OP's question is still valid

Technically it was The Honeymooners with cavemen

Were any of those Hannah Barbera comics made recently successful?

>but it wasn't successful
It sure was. You have to stop comparing it to Batman and event comics

When is Yogi going to get another shot?

>were any comics published within the last ten years succesful.

The answer is no.

Scooby Apocalypse is still going, so maybe it is?

Yogi bear was a solid film. Did they ever make a sequel?

But that was the worst of the bunch.

The film seems to have been forgotten these days.

Success and quality unfortunately don't always go hand-in-hand.

Maybe it's just the name. Scooby is apparently still worth something, at least more than other HB properties.

Scooby Apocalyse squeaks by on the strength of its property but even its days are numbered

FLIIIINTSTONES?!

And here we have the reason: the franchise has become a meme, a punchline about terrible films, and is better known to kids for vitamins than anything else.

>and is better known to kids for vitamins than anything else

I'm pretty sure they know the cereal more than the vitamins

Parents don't cram the cereal down their throats every day.
Cocoa Pebbles are god-tier by the way.

I like the series but it's clear it's going to end with #24.

The last solicit is basically just "end game storyline to wrap this up"

No one ever accused network execs of intelligence.

If your franchise ever has a Yo Yogi, it deserves to die

What in the fuck:

>Taking place in Jellystone Town, it features Yogi Bear and the other popular Hanna-Barbera characters including his friends Boo-Boo Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and Yogi's girlfriend Cindy Bear depicted as 14-year-old adolescent children who were crime fighters. The gang hung out at Jellystone Mall owned by "Diamond" Doggie Daddy with Augie Doggie as his heir to the mall business. Yogi and the gang work at an agency called L.A.F. (short for Lost and Found) where they act as detectives trying to solve mysteries under the supervision of the mall's security guard Officer Smith. Dickie Dastardly and his sidekick Muttley would cause trouble for Yogi and his gang. But Roxie Bear, a teenager, was causing trouble with Dickie Dastardly and she was Cindy's rival and Yogi's competitor. The characters were never seen at home or school.

>Some of Yogi's other pals like Top Cat, Secret Squirrel, Morocco Mole, Hardy Har Har, Squiddly Diddly and Wally Gator were also featured as young children. Other Hanna-Barbera characters are still in adult form: Hokey Wolf is the Mayor of Jellystone Town and Ding-A-Ling Wolf briefly appeared as his photographer, Loopy De Loop works at the Jellystone Mall's Picnic Basket Food Court, Atom Ant served as Jellystone Town's superhero, Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Looey were wild west-themed entertainers, Pixie and Dixie lived in the cheese cottage within a cheese store owned by Mr. Jinks, Peter Potamus and So-So ran a plant shop called "Peter Potamus' Plant Palace." Snooper is a crime-solving celebrity while Blabber ran the "Crooks 'n' Books" store, and Magilla Gorilla appeared in "Jellystone Jam" as Magilla Ice (a takeoff of Vanilla Ice). Also, Granny Sweet made an appearance in the episode "Super Duper Snag."

here is MY attempt to reboot the flintstones

I loved this.

Ah the late 80s to early 90s era of cartoons that most want to deny ever happened.

Same with The New Archies

Yeah and it failed. Good book. Shit sales. So many people wrote it off without giving it a chance because DC was "rapping their childhood"

Looney Tunes survived theirs.

...

N-NO IF COMBLR LIKES THEN IT'S A GLOBAL SUCCESS YOU BIGOT! JUST LIKE HELLCAT!

It's just "generic sitcom, but with cavemen." The characters are actually fantastic but are also very basic—to a degree where it's hard to bring anything new to the table in a modern version, which is problematic when network execs demand something new.

>Scooby is apparently still worth something, at least more than other HB properties.

That's not because of quality; it's because the moment Warner bought Turner, it immediately backbenched all H-B properties except Scooby as being not as popular, so not worth marketing/merchandising.
The result was that a lot of previously evergreen brands (Flintstones, Yogi, Huckleberry, Top Cat), whose only fault was not being AS popular as something else, vanished from the kids' market and became niche fandoms.

Speaking of which, what do you suppose will happen to the Simpsons decades after it's canceled? Do they just get rebooted on a regular basis, become more known of being some mascot of something, or what?

>Taking place in Jellystone Town, it features Yogi Bear and the other popular Hanna-Barbera characters including his friends Boo-Boo Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and Yogi's girlfriend Cindy Bear depicted as 14-year-old adolescent children who were crime fighters.

This kind of recasting seemed like a funny and marketable AU back when the original versions of the characters were huge.
Now that they are forgotten, it looks insane.

Honestly the way WB handles their properties make me think they need an overhaul.

>it immediately backbenched all H-B properties except Scooby as being not as popular
How did that happen? Was in Warner's fault?

Because there no Nozomi, thats why.

Yes.
Warner Consumer Products did a few lazy tests in the 1990s and early 2000s, and quickly concluded that the most "kid-popular" characters for each of its brands were:

DC: Batman
Hanna-Barbera: Scooby
Looney Tunes: Tweety, Taz, Marvin; Bugs marginal
MGM: Tom and Jerry

This explains everything about their marketing since that time. In particular, it has created a situation where when a new Looney Tunes product doesn't feature Tweety or Taz, it's an uphill fight to make Warner market it.

There was that one time Fred actually became a grand dad.

Loud nigra is best waifu

Why is Top Cat so fucking popular in Mexico?

Because no one believes humans and dinosaurs coexisted anymore (except fundie xtians).

No, the worst was Wacky Raceland. Scooby Apocalypse is smack dab in the middle; not great, but an interesting read - Scooby gang in a monster/zombie apocalypse. It's nothing we haven't read before, but it's kind of interesting to see it with Scooby Doo, of all things.

Simpsons Kids.

>this masterpiece ended after 12 issues
>meanwhile the scooby doo shit keeps dragging on
life isn't fair sometimes

Because they never knew about The Phil Silvers Show.

Raceland didn't even make it to 12 issues like Flintstones.

Because Flintstone are product of it's time

Because they're criminals who live on the street.

Lolwhat?

I heard it’s because it was dubbed very well.

You take that shit back, the new years all day marathon are fond memories of my childhood only time I would bond with my Grandma

It's a really simple concept that attracted people not because of quality, but because of how digestible it was. It was the original lowest common denominator.

lmao what is this? make more user.

No, regardless of budget Flintstones had class, you're thinking of Fat Albert.

Raceland wasn't even planned to be more issues than what it was.

dubs can matter a lot. Here in Hungary they had the top voice actors working on the Flintstones, as well as the top writers of the era who worked in television. The end result was that the series got dubbed in the writers own brand of rhyming, where every other syllable was rhyming with something else, and the syllables between that rhymed with... everything else. And you had nonstop avalanche of puns, alliterations, and every other wordplay you can think of.

Like, imagine a typical Dr. Seuss poem, but using a very rich dictionary with very little word repetition and quite a lot of uncommon words, and triple the rhyme count. That's how the Flintstones aired here.

It was a work of art to hear it.
