Cavemen: Ex-stinked!
This was a total disappointment and the worst sitcom I've seen in a long time. It had none of the humor of the Geico commercials. Where's the angst over not being respected because they're cavemen? It just looked like a bunch of ugly rock musician's or college students trying to pick up girls. There was no setup about where they came from or who they were. No one even noticed that they were cavemen. There weren't even any good cavemen jokes... not even the most obvious ones. It was just a steaming pile of dinosaur dung. I predict these cavemen will be sent back to the Stone Age before the next full moon.

Not sure what show you were watching but Cavemen was hysterical. The funniest show on TV in a lonnnnng time. I laughed from the beginning to the end. To add to this funny show the line alone about keeping the P---- in the Jeanes tha alone was to much. Then the fanny pack situation. That alone was mind blowing.

You must either be a) a cast member, b) 5 years old, or c) drunk. There wasn't hardly a chuckle to be had on that disaster of a show. Can you name one funny thing they said or did? No. What was funny about a bunch of sort-of caveman looking guys doing rather ordinary things guys do on every other show. There were no funny lines, no slapstick, no physical humor, no sarcasm. It was bankrupt of any redeeming qualities. Phil Hartman as the caveman lawyer on Saturday Night Live was much funnier. Fred Flintstone was funnier. If they would have played all the Geico commercials end-to-end it would have been funnier. The good news is it won't be around long.

I agree. I absolutely love the Geico commercials and eagerly anticipated the arrival of Cavemen, but I watched the first episode and there was absolutely nothing funny or hysterical about it. I will watch the 2nd episode but I highly doubt it will get funny. Ya know, either a show "catches" your interest or it doesn't, and Cavemen didn't do anything for me besides keep me from having to take a sleeping pill. I know the show won't last, which is a shame because I had such high hopes for it. The Class was much funnier than this show and it was unfortunately cancelled. I even watched the Class' replacement and that sucked as well. Ditto for the Bionic Woman--watched every episode in the original and the new version is a snooze IMO, no bionic "sounds" if you will, not to mention her "powers" either. I know the 1st episode allegedly got raves, but lets see how long it lasts--my bet? Just a little longer than Cavemen.
