Cavemen Sitcom
 

In case you're wondering what i'm talking about, ABC really IS planning the sitcom based on the Geico "So easy a caveman could do it" commercial series. I heard the news months ago on SNL, and I thought it was a joke. Apparently the joke is on us.

But as we all know, commercial characters make fabulous sitcoms. With Baby Bob constantly grabbing Emmy Awards, even in it's 7th year... oh wait...

Welcome to why I hate the media. They did this awhile ago I think the show was called "The Flintstones"

Planning??? You obviously haven't seen the promos for the show. It's premiering in September....I've seen about 5 min of it and it was 5 min of my life I want back. :ohwell: I give this show maybe 5 episodes...and that's being generous. Seriously...who needs to see Cavemen in cowboy hats?

This is a lame idea.

Also, because it's hip.

Yeah it's so hip that's why everyones hating on it.
You know people can have a mind of their own and hate allot of things on tv, movies, and music.
And so what if some one hates something because it's a trend I say all the more reason to dislike it why get caught up in some moron passing trend like the whole emo thing.
Whats next everyones going to run around like cave ment because of this show.:roll:
But then people can oh you don't like it because it's trendy...and you know I'd say heellllll no I just don't want to look like a retarded caveman.:lol:

Except they weren't technically living in modern day. They were living in an fractured alternate history of the stone age. Same thing with Dinosaurs (which got very political and hit every single nail possible on the head).

But this seems like a bad gag based on a series of commercials that actually were funny without having to be like the office or having a fat dorky guy do or say something awkward (I refer to the Kellogg's Rasin Bran Crunch ad, especially the "L.O. govnuh" one.)

I saw the promo last night (I don't watch their crappy network. According to Jim is it's anchor sitcom. Come on!) and I almost retched. Seriously I thought it was an SNL joke or at the very least it would have tested poorly.

But then again what do you expect from the network that keeps America's (UN)funniest videos on life support every damn year, and introduced a TV show called national Bingo night.

BRING FREAKING BACK KNIGHTS OF PROSPERITY! At least that was creative.

I concur, but ****** tv is a trend. Much like the cavemen.

Funny stuff. I'd be all dressing up like Fred Flinstone and ordering ribs and saying Yabba Dabba Doo and stuff....

I just think it's rediculous when you take a joke that works, make it long running and it still works, then do something like this and you kill it. It's no longer a joke, but a corporate mascot.

I will say I do like the Tag line, "The Evolution will be televised"

Too bad it could have been used somewhere better.

I agree.

I think the commericals are funny, but I really don't see a show doing too well.

But, I will try to catch it for the heck of it...who knows? It might actually be good.

:P
I second that motion.

Besides the fact that the show was funny and interesting, Sofia Vergara is rather hot:P

Actually, according to the "August TV news" thread, it will be back August 8th.

Indeed... they heard your cry... Knights of Prosperity is back next wednesday.

Geiko Caveman gets a TV show
 

American broadcasting has reached an all time low...

I saw a commercial for a new TV series, featuring the Caveman from the "So easy a cave man can do it" Geiko commercials... ****.

I agree it's silly. Hopefully it's at least funny. But I smell a thread being moved pretty soon.

It's funny this show will not last at all and there's allready a post on this show.
Also it's funny because like a week ago aol held a vote as to which company mascots where the worst and these guys where like number 1.:lol:

Perhaps that's one of the reason's these guys were selected for a sitcom :lol:

I miss the talking gecko.

Yeah, they announced this when the Fall Lineup came out. I've been seeing commercials for about a month now (teaser ones, at least).

Don't think this one's gonna get picked up.

I love the commercials, but a show? Dunno about that...
