TV is So Easy, Even a Caveman Can Do It

Posted Mar 2nd 2007 12:02PM by TMZ Staff

CavemanABC is looking to an unlikely place to find the next big television show: Geico TV commercials.

Yes, the net is developing a half-hour comedy based on the cavemen characters from the popular insurance ads. The show would revolve around three pre-historic men who must battle prejudice as they live their day-to-day lives in modern Atlanta. Who smells Emmy?

The Geico spots feature cavemen pissed off over Geico's slogan for its website: "So easy, a caveman can do it." At least they didn't try and make a show out of that stupid gecko, although that's probably next.

7. What a great idea. This cave man was the most " POPULAR" guy during the Acadamy Awards after parties. . More people were flocking around him than the actors and actresses. Who ever is producing this series will most likely do very well for himself. I predict the rating will be GREAT !!!

Who the hell will turn in see POSH and Beckum when you can a have a laugh with these cave men? I'll be tuning in for sure.

9. I think a moran made up the commercial! It is stupid. Get the little lizard, or whatever he is back. There are people today who actually look like those guys. Stop it now.

11. I love the one where the guy is in the therapists office, and when his mom calls he says he is going to put her on speakerphone. Too funny, it just kills me.

13. To #10. You should be ashamed or yourself. You are just prejudiced against cavemen. Why? Do you think they aren't talented enough to pull this thing off? They have made such great contributions to our world. The wheel....the loincloth....the club....the inspiration for the razor not to mention soap and deodorant. Even primates have become respected members of the entertainment community (witness King Kong) and cavemen are eons more advanced than they are not to mention Jessica Simpson. It's so sad we live in such a world or intolerance. I hope they hire Jackie Childs as their attorney to combat the prejudicial attitudes of individuals like you. You sicken me.
