ps. i was listening to the radio today and heard people saying this show was racist against african american people because of stereotypical views. i think thats shenanigans.

edit: But as the show's pilot episode began circulating in Hollywood, so did a new round of criticism: that Cavemen trafficked in the very racial caricatures it was supposed to be lampooning. By depicting the Cro-Magnons as good dancers, great athletes and grand sexual partners, the show's detractors argued, Cavemen was using black stereotypes for cheap racist laughs. ''We finally get to laugh at all the stereotypes in the world directed at cavemen, without feeling guilty,'' wrote one Hollywood blogger. ABC's decision to reshoot the pilot didn't exactly help.

I love the commercials, but I can't see the show being funny at all. It's going to get old really quick.

I'll watch an episode or two to see what it's about... Not expecting much.

Anyone know what involvement does Gieco have in the financing, marketing, production of this series?

BTW ran across this the other day Cavemans Crib (www.CavemansCrib.com), you can explore the cavedude's pad... w/e

it was kinda funny, nothing earth shattering

not sure how long they can stretch the appeal on this, it looks like it'd run outta steam real quick

best part was the Cro-mag jokes

i liked the first few commercials... I thought they were funny... but when they had that commercials where they aired the caveman on the news... I thought it was bringing it too far. the sitcom is beyond beating a dead horse imo

Commercials are fine, this show makes Joey look like The West Wing.
