This has "embarrassing flop" written all over it. The commercials are amusing, but a 22 minute sitcom? Come on.

Since it's supposedly based here, they should make them interior decorators and call it "Designing Cavemen".

I don't think Delta Burke is doing anything.

...also, am I the only one who thinks the cavemen look a good deal like Val Kilmer?

 

[iambrutus]

will only make it 3 or 4 episodes

I voted "miss", but if the pilot includes them gang banging Erin Esurance or engaging in stupid human tricks so Charles Barkley will put them in his five I could reconsider . . .

 

[tibor75]

maybe the pilot will have the 3 of them being confused for Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parrish.

Miss. I predict ABC will cancel it due to pressure from funamendalist Christian groups who claim that the show is trying to promote atheism and human evolution by teaching our children that we came from ape-like cave men.

You are not, I've thought that since the first one.

Oh plz this is going to swing and miss worse than Preston Wilson...

You're underestimating the power of the stoner demographic. All depends on the time slot.

 

[Buckeye Buh Nim]

Won't last any longer than Emeril the sit com.

How about this one?

The latest new comedy from NBC is "The IT Crowd," based on the acclaimed British series that takes a behind-the-scenes peek at the misunderstood techies (Joel McHale, "The Soup," and Richard Ayoade, "The IT Crowd" -- U.K.) who toil in the Information Technology department of a large, impersonal corporation. "The IT Crowd" is scheduled to join the NBC schedule during the course of the 2007-08 season.

Sounds like my life.

Oh I meant to pick miss but pressed hit instead. Apparently this poll is NOT so easy a caveman can do it.....
