So Stupid A Caveman Could Do It ... - 05-17-2007, 07:39 AM


Ok, seriously. Has America gotten so bloated with the cranial swellings of idiocy that someone believes we watch Caveman?

Of course as I was sitting here writing this and wondering what kind of bottom feeder would watch this my boss comes by and excitedly informed of the "great" news that the Geico Cavemen would have thier own TV show.



Well ... that answers that question.

Prophet out.

That show is going to be better then 99% of what's on TV already.

Of course, that's not really saying much.....

Why not? The Flintstones was one of the most successful television prime time sitcoms ever, airing originally in the early 60's. Reruns are still running today. Let them give it a try.

It's kind of like when I take pictures, some of them work and some of them don't. Time will tell but you don't know unless you try.

This is exactly why I spend more time in front of my 23" Apple Cinema Display instead of the 60" Sony SXRD (although the PowerBook connected to it is cool ).

I will probably check it out, but I don't have high hopes for this show. Short clips of these guys are fine, but I think audiences will become weary if they try to stretch it to 30 minutes or an hour. I just hope that darned lizard never gets his own show. I'll actively boycott that.

I thought the commercials were pretty funny, but I don't think there's enough material there for a TV series. Maybe a recurring SNL skit...

I know George Lopez is upset that ABC cancelled his show to make way for this show. Now, although I can admit that George Lopez's material in the show is repetitive and not as funny, it was still pretty good at times. I don't think this show will do well at all.

Show idea ?

Caveman is a wedding photographer...he freaks out everytime the strobes flash. He is also a forum moderator on a popular photography forum....
his replies to questions are from the stone age...

That won't work, too far fetched ???
