I can just imagine the writers' lightbulbs going off when they wrote the bit about it being okay for them to say "cro-magnon."

Utterly horrendous.  Tom will be first in line to buy t-shirts.

Why?  Isn't there already enough suffering in the world?

Now if they made the Gecko into a sit-com I could have had a job.

At first I thought those separate previews were all one long show.  LIke Christina Applegate was somehow involved with one of the cavemen and the lives of the carpoolers were somehow going to entwine with those of the Cavemen during their drive, "Crash" style.  Like Cavemen was going to be some Altman-esque portrait of Los Angeles.  Encino Man meets Grand Canyon. 

My favorite part of the whole CaveMan phenomenon is how it's a big joke about how stupid it is to be sensitive about your heritage and ethnic identity and how racism is actually funny and you shouldn't care about it.

I admittedly thought this show would be funny, ABC and all.  Just crazy enough to work.

After seeing a few clips, though, yikes. I wish Geico had tried Tiny House instead.

Cro-Maggers? 
Come on , guys.

How did you get a hold of those? So they're taking every other tired "I hate my wife, my kids are brats, and I hate my job" sitcom and seeing what would happen if the Geico Cavemen lived the exact same lives? Sweet. If Two and a Half Men is the top sitcom now this is sure to be a hit.

Man, I remember seeing that ad for the first time and thinking it was a real show. Then when my excitement had reached a fever pitch, I realized it was fake. I got Geico'd!

It's funny that THAT is the clip they decided to preview to everyone...

That's a great new catchphrase if I've ever heard one.

You're gonna get Geico'd! GEICO'D!  GEICO'D!!

The pilot's leaked. I couldn't finish it.

'MAGGER, PLEASE!

[Laurie]

REVERSE SHADES TIPPIN'!

i just downloaded the pilot, and i think i've cringed and shuddered enough for the rest of the year.

I can't wait to see utter garbage promoted and played. I would rather watch a tire burning yard for a half hour than watch Cavemen.
