Cavemen - OAD 10/2/2007 Threadcraps and Spoilers included.

Flipped over, watched about 2 minutes. So they look like cavemen, but for all intents and purposes, they are just three slacker types? Boring.

 

I watched the preair...this is bad....

 

They supposedly did a complete retool after the preair was released, so it should be all new stuff.

 

But it's still bad. I have seen both and the one they aired was actually worse.

 

Yes it was. Deleted after 15 minutes.

 

I really wish Nielsen overnights were released with per-minute ratings details.

You know, I could see one episode of Boston Legal with Cavemen in it... it'd fit well. But just not a whole series.

 

I've only watched the first 5 minutes so far. I like it. But it would have been better without the cavemen schtick.

 

Hmm. "Cavemen" without the cavemen. You might be onto something there.

 

Good God that was bad.

 

I always attempt to give a new show at least 1 or 2 weeks to see if it grows on me.

Not with this show. Deleted after 15 minutes!

 

OK I just watched it in its entirety.

I don't know if you guys got too hung up on them being cavemen, or that they're from a commercial, but I thought the show was hilarious, and I laughed out loud several times! Really good comedic acting and writing. I was thinking while I was watching that this is sort of what those who said they liked "Chuck" but could do without the spy/action elements would like.

- Seriously... it's time to get a big boy wallet.
- Do you wanna pay?
- Point taken.

- Cut it out, OK!
- No problem, man. It's already in your head.

 

Not near as bad as I thought it would be. Actually I liked it and I'll give another shot next week, if it's not cancelled already.

Seriously though, this thing has tough competition on the other networks in this time slot. I can't see it surviving even if it was Seinfeld reincarnated.

 

I also thought that it was pretty funny.

--Keep your penis in your genus.

 

Not even as much as an upturned lip. I watched the original pilot which was horrible. This is not any better.

I do think it would be better without the horrible caveman schtick and even worse make-up, but it is simply not good. Horrible writing.

 

I liked it. I like the oddly effete cavemen as much as I did in the commercials. I thought the dialogue was amusing, even clever at times. I'm amused at how self-consciously the cavemen parrot the WASP upper class--they play squash, drink cognac, and drive a Boxter (with a box of oranges in the other seat <--that made me laugh for some reason)... And I think they've managed to create some characters with potential for good comedy. I'm going to stick around awhile and see where this goes.

 

I know many are predisposed to hating this and for good reason. The leaked "preair" was awful, but I found this Caveman watchable.

Will keep my SP for a few more weeks and see if it holds up. I can't wait the see the first weeks numbers compared to the second and third ..............That will tell the tale real fast

 

I never saw the pre-air, and I went into this expecting to hate it.

I was surprised. I've seen worse. And several scenes made me laugh. I am sticking with it.

 

Agreed. The scene in the cafe had me in stitches (where they translated "coffee and a donut" for the waitress). LOL.

But the makeup jobs are simply too distracting. They seem three steps down from what's done on the commercials.

I don't see this lasting, but I'll keep with it...

 

'Oh hi Maurice...'

I thought the show was pretty funny.

I plan to keep this SP.
