...for all Samie haters out there.

Geico's Cavemen May Get Own TV Series
Mar 3, 2:39 PM EST


The Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Those Geico "cavemen" shouldn't be so upset after all — they may get their own television series. ABC said Friday it had ordered a pilot for a comedy, tentatively titled "Cavemen," that features the characters used in a series of ads by the insurance company.

In the ads, cavemen appear insulted by a Geico pitchman's claim that the company's Web site is so easy to use that "even a caveman can do it."

The potential series, one of 14 pilots that will be produced by Touchstone Television this spring, features the cavemen as they "struggle with prejudice on a daily basis as they strive to live the lives of normal thirty-somethings in 2007 Atlanta."

It's unusual for characters from an advertising campaign to move into shows of their own, but not unprecedented. The CBS comedy "Baby Bob" featured a talking baby that had been used in several advertisements, according to Daily Variety.

The advertising copywriter who helped create the "cavemen" ads is writing the pilot, the studio said.

A pilot order is no guarantee a show will make it on the air; in fact, the majority of pilots don't make it that far.

I liked those commercials the first 3257 times I saw them. Now, not so much.

Now that's just rude and hurtful. I may be plenty fat but I am not nasty - all the time.

Just more proof that the networks are out of ideas. Or they don't hire people who have creativity/ideas/humor.

VINCENT: What's a pilot?

JULES: Well, you know the shows on TV?

VINCENT: I don't watch TV.

JULES: Yes, but you're aware that there's an invention called television, and on that invention they show shows?

VINCENT: Yeah.

JULES: Well, the way they pick the shows on TV is they make one show, and that show's called a pilot. And they show that one show to the people who pick the shows, and on the strength of that one show, they decide if they want to make more shows. Some get accepted and become TV programs, and some don't, and become nothing. She starred in one of the ones that became nothing.

I love those commercials! TJ Jagadowski is an improv genius and is a legend in Chicago. A show with those two guys would have potential, too.

Some networks are out of ideas (CBS). But others are starting to gravitate towards more daring television. NBC is the best example; I don't think they have a single laugh track sitcom right now. With this, ABC is willing to take a chance on a single camera show with a cool concept (3 cavemen coping with prejudice in modern Atlanta). I think that shows way more balls than another standard family sitcom (cough, cough... CBS). Sure, you won't get all the lemmings that CBS gets, but you do get smarter viewers and higher quality entertainment. If a show is good and finds its audience, you'll find your advertisers.

I really enjoy the commercials and I'll watch the show to see if it is good, but I don't have high hopes for it. Hollywood always thinks they need to change something when they remake/extend it.
