To think that we missed out on the Wazzzup Guys show and the Budwiser Frogs show.

I'm waiting for the "Rozerum Show." You know, everyday guy who shares a mid-town condo with Lincoln, a talking beaver and a mysterious guy in a deep sea diving suit.

Cavemen was just ok, certainly better than the wretched Fred Goss show that followed it.

I've been catching George Lopez in syndication and on NickatNite, which has been running final season episodes (some of which I missed on ABC). Underrated. So not exactly high-brow, but it is always good for some GREAT laughs! Love the chemistry between the principal cast. With family sitcoms almost a rarity this TV season, I wish ABC had picked this one up instead of ATJ (having two shows with the main characters being Latino just too much for the network??)

That sounds about right. Too much tv, not enough time to spend on something that's not very funny.

I won't be watching it again. The best part of the show was the beginning, when they showed the cavemen in different places, "among us." Especially when they were on stage with Twisted Sister (who's still one of my fav's!!).

I really wanted to like this, but 6 minutes in, I already hated it.

My question, did people who watched think that it would be funny?

I thought it would be one or the other: hilarious or terrible.
Since I really like the commercials, I gave it a chance..

Is Nick Swardson supposed to be a big part of the show? I wouldn't mind him getting his own show. "Shits Weak!"

for me it wasn't bad it just wasn't funny at all. I think I laughed once and that was probably at the guy who plays Terry on Reno 911.

That was about the only part I found funny. I caught it online this morning and just found it horrible. Usually I enjoy shows that are seen as horrible(Life on Stick,The Loop, Stacked), but this was just bad.

I didn't like the 2nd episode all that much.

I'm still not convinced that's not David Boreanaz playing Joel...

During the abritration scene I kept getting the feeling that Phil Hartman was rolling over in his grave.

I checked this out for the first time last night. It was dire. I'll not be tuning in again.

I dropped it. While not the severe trainwreck I thought it would be, it is just not funny.

After swearing last week that I would never waste more time on this, I did. I had to see if maybe last week was just a fluke; an unfunny mistake that accidentally got aired. Nope. The second episode garnered exactly ZERO laughs, chuckles or grins from me. I'm pretty forgiving about a lot of stuff on TV, figuring that just because I don't like it doesn't mean that it wouldn't appeal to someone else, but this show sucks and I want to see it die. I want anyone connected with this show to be driven from Hollywood and never get another chance to soil the airwaves with any of their talentless garbage. Hell should reserve a special place for the writers and producers.

I'm gonna go watch a Geico commercial now ...

Oh, c'mon... No one laughed at Hobo Bear?

But, yeah. I've dropped it as well.
