I can't believe they are getting a tv show. Anybody going to watch it??? I think the gecko would have made a better tv show. I think the caveman show will be one of the first shows to bite the bullet.

Seriously? I hadn't heard....although I don't keep up to date on the new shows coming out.

I saw a commercial for this last night! I agree with you, it won't last long. I have no urge to watch it!

Worst TV idea ever! What I don't get is there are tons of great shows yet they get cancelled so they can debut this type of crap. Thing is..watch it'll be a sensation akin to all the other crappy shows out there.

I think there is something socially quite wrong with those commercials.
I find them offensvie.

I liked it better when Phil Hartman was doing the caveman lawyer on SNL.

I kid U not

I saw some footage from the pilot a while back - HORRIBLE. What's worse, is that they didn't even use the guys from the commercials. ABC must've realized what a potential shitfest they had on their hands, 'cause they recently retooled the whole thing and added one of the cavemen from the commercials.

Still, I just don't see how that premise will hold up for a half-hour show, let alone a season's worth.

oh, hell yes.

"Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: "Did little demons get inside and type it?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages."

I totally remember that!

cborgman said:

Oh my god do I mis Phil.

About the caveman show, one word: why?

Anxiety said:

I also liked his Frankenstien

Lothan said:

why indeed! if i have to watch a commercial masquerading as a sitcom every week, i'd rather watch the damn afflak duck for half an hour.

Anxiety said:

I choose the Gekco instead

cborgman said:

I never saw it. Sounds like a riot.
Maybe I'll do a Youtube search for it.

Arrested Development gets cancelled (no, I'm STILL not over that!!) but this shit gets a green light - da fuuuuuck???

& Studio 60 barely lasted 5 episodes before they were ready to can that. I just don't get tv sometimes

At least Damages is good & living up to the hype

What a waste.

i don't think those of us that watched that show will EVER get over that... it was one of the most brilliant comedies in the history of american tv, and they killed it.

cborgman said:

Don't worry, I am writing a movie script right now that is so cool it will make you forget there ever was a caveman show.

I wish I could tell you what it is about, but you'll just have to trust me!

Until then, don't sweat the caveman show...

cborgman said:

Seems like that's the way it works. If the studio execs don't understand the show, they'll find a way to get rid of it. Like move it around in the schedule so much that no one can find it anymore, then blame it on poor viewership instead.

JediTodd said:

pretty much

the bastids

Dang and blast how could they have dang done those things they dids!
