>Spongebob is way more iconic than The Flintstones nowadays imo.

Setting aside how much I disagree with that, what is "more iconic that Flinstones" your reasoning for it being bigger than the Simpsons?

Lol, you should have just compared Flinstones to SpongeBob if that's your argument

It's also a poor argument because Flinstones are head and shoulders more ironic than SpongeBob, no question.

You know people lost there shit when Fred Flinstone and Wilma started sharing a bed, right? That's how big the show was, hundreds of people complained to the TV company over how scandalous the show had become.

Flinstones walked so most every other cartoon could run. Show some respect

There was a handful of shows from 2008-2012 that would have done better in 2022 on a streaming platform.

Stuff like "Awake", "Flashforward", "Caprica", "Dollhouse", "Party Down", "Terminator Sarah Connor Chonicles", "Pushing Daisies", and even "Jericho" though it was earlier than the rest. I remember shows like "Shark" and "The Event" too had some buzz but also had concepts better suited for binging on a streaming service.

Lol are you being serious or really this thick? No, one thinks the show iterally cursed anyone, it's just pointing out how awful a lot of the casts lives ended.

No one thought the Madden video games were literally curing the athletes. People just pointed out how bad stuff happened to the cover stars pretty frequently.
