THIS WEEK’S SIGN
THE AUTOMOTIVE
APOCALYPSE IS NIGH
ABC has ordered a TV pilot based on Geico
insurance’s cavemen advertising campaign.
Cleverly titled Cavemen, the show will
follow the Neanderthals in their “struggle
with prejudice on a daily basis as they strive
to live the lives of normal thirty-somethings
in 2007 Atlanta.”

oh come on - really? i hope this is as much a joke as that stupid Sinbad hoax!
i cant believe Geico would OK this - and i really liked those ads. they didnt need to be the basis of a TV show.

I have yet to see Autoweek make that kind of a joke. Without labeling it as one.

And I do agree with you-a TV show one them? Was sort of funny when SNL did three minute skit on same idea but 30 minutes?????

Apparently not. It's been reported in a variety of places, including . . . well, Variety.

I hate those commercials.

Not a joke sadly. And as some articles have mentioned, the last time a commercial mascot got a TV show it was Quizno's Baby Bob(?) and the show sucked.

I can top this.

I just heard this morning that there's going to be a show called "National Bingo Night" or something like that. They're going to be calling out the numbers and people at home can play along.

It's been done. It's called Encino Man.

I think they're hysterical - "What, so having Geico makes me less of a caveman?" or the utter disdain when he's on CNN and starts with "First off, I'm not really in love with your tone right now . . ."

I don't even know why - I giggle like an idiot at the one in the airport w/ the cheesy Royksopp track.

Through this, however, I am nearly 100% certain the show will suck - meh, too bad.

As you can tell from my signature, I kind of enjoy them, although I agree that they may just be lowering my IQ, three minutes at a time.

However, the show may be a bit much.
