We all love the GEICO ads. They’re funny, original and catchy. And though that loveable gecko with the cockney accent is their mascot, but nowadays GEICO’s stars are those poor stereotyped cavemen. The commercials have gained international appeal, and the actors that play them have become celebrities. They’ve gotten the usual celebrity treatment: being hit on by strange but beautiful women, fansites, global recognition, being starspotted, etc. Now ABC has taken the next logical step to the major success of these ads, and has made…a sitcom? What were they thinking? ABC has made a sitcom based on the GEICO commercials. Yeah, I couldn’t believe it too.

A couple things wrong with this show. Firstly, these “cavemen” aren’t really cavemen at all. They’re just regular people who haven’t physically evolved. Takes a lot of the fun out of it doesn’t it? And if that isn’t bad enough, their names are Joel, Jamie and Nick. Not very caveman-y names at all, are they? This series is supposed to be a statement on race relations. Too serious. This series takes all the fun out of the commercials in an attempt to make it plausible, and if more viewers look forward to commercials than your show, then something is terribly wrong. This shouldn’t last more than a month. All I say is, “not cool.”
