Ok so I just finished watching the new show on ABC called "Cavemen". It had it's up's and downs but for the most part I found it was really funny.

I heard a lot of people talking about how they stuck to mostly [black] minority jokes, which they must have changed since then since I didn't really see to many references to REAL minority's except for those you will find in EVERY minority (like sticking to your race [or in this case, your gene pool])

But I found a lot of the jokes to be on target, and find it funny that they are cavemen and yet using all of this technology which is really reminiscent of the joke they were trying to go for in the "So easy a caveman can do it" commercials. So they pretty much stuck to their roots.

It felt more leaning toward a movie esq feel then a sitcom feel (though it is undoubtedly a sitcom).

Who do I recomend this to:

I recomend this to people with a sort of easy going sense of humor, and the kind of people who watch and like sitcoms.

I do not recoment this show to people with a very criticle sense of humor where it has to be "OMGROFL" to your own personal taste, but rather someone who can laugh at almost anything and just likes to be amused.

Footnote: The show and the style of the show is NOT for everyone.

I only saw the part where they were playing Wii Boxing. Was disgusted.

You walked in on a bad part Z xD. You need to watch the whole episode to really decide. I can see how the Wiiboxing would be a turn off if you tuned in on that part.

It wasn't bad...it just wasn't as funny as the original pilot. They changed so much from the younger brother caveman was a completely different character in the original version to changing the Kate (girlfriend) character. The plot and jokes were basically the same but didn't seem to fit, almost like they were trying too hard to be smartly funny. I enjoyed Nick Kroll(caveman with the glasses) and Nick Swardson's(the trainee at the Ikea ripoff) performances but that's about it.

Some people just took the Geico commercials too far, though I am hoping it is good. I haven't seen it yet.

Cripes, they're showing that already? Dang it. I'll have to actually turn on a TV one of these days.

Wow, and the pilot won't even see the light of day because it was polled as the worst new show of the new season :)

I was already disgusted that they would even think people would watch this kind of crap. Guess I'll have to give it a try to see how bad it can get.

I loved the actors they had in the commercials. I was obsessed with the commercials. My wife even made fun of me for it.

I was excited about the tv show but then they got all new actors and it didn't really appeal to me anymore.

I saw the pilot and I thought it was pretty funy. "Worst show of the season" HA! Have you looked at the lineup this season? I think Heroes is the only thing I am interested in!

PS, the last 2 episodes of Weeds were comedy GOLD!

If it can have a better episode than that one, it may last, but I don't see it right now.

I though the racist jokes were way too obvious, and that makes for a preachy sitcom, which is not funny.

I was also annoyed that they talked about cavemen women the whole show, but they never showed one on screen.

Maybe they are just delusional... there are no "cavechicks" and they are all just hallucinating (ouch, my spelling sucks) every time they think they see one. also the guy with glasses looked like he was wearing lipstick.
