Once upon a time there was a GEICO commercial featuring two malcontent cavemen seeking satisfaction from a highly insensitive GEICO employee.
It was mildly funny. I will never admit to more.
Then one day, a few years later, an ABC executive gets off on the idea of featuring the aforementioned cavemen in a show treatment that includes such hilarious jargon such as "brand extension" and "marketing tie in"
You know what? I'm laughing at the idea now. No doubt, Caveman will be an undisputed success. Following such run away commerical to sitcom hits including the California Raisins, and CBS sitcom Baby Bob which revolved around the exploits of a talking Baby. I'll just stop there, I feel revolted at the thought.
Apparently, this single camera laffer pilot has piqued the interest of "Blades of Glory" directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon.
Yeah, the whole thing just gets scarier and scarier. The concept is a group of 3 Cavemen living in the US and dealing with everyday predjudices towards their kind. No doubt a poignant commentary on race relations within the united states.
Regardless, I can't shake the notion that sitcom programming is so simple... Even a caveman could do it.
yeah I know... terrible terrible joke.
