If it's done right it could be social comentary on what we, as Americans, find to be important. That cavemen can be a funny way to wag the finger at a society that would rather look at Britiny's cooter than get something done about the war or find a way that parents don't have to pay so much the keep their children healthy.

It's "niche" content - some of us will like it, not many. I think they should offer it only as a download on abc.com, in a partnered deal with Geico.

My prediction is that it doesn't make it to three episodes. Junk like this gets picked up, but a classic like Arrested Development gets canned for "poor" ratings. The question I have is who is wrong the most, weathermen or a TV network program director?

They aren't "cavemen." They're overly sensitive, contemporary guys who mainly need haircuts. They're going to have to be regressed a lot to become cavemen. But, like "Third Rock From the Sun," if the writing and casting are inspired, the show has a chance. In parts of Australia, the guys in the Geico commercials would look like everybody else.

Cash money right there!

So it's not that big of a gamble for them. ABC is just going to cancel it 1/3 of the way through anyway (like they do with all their other shows). So it’s not that big of a gamble for them.
