Cavemen on ABC



She Said:

I watched the second episode of Caveman which HE said was much funnier than the first. That's not saying much. The dialog and characters were above average for sitcoms but I still can't get over the plot and the premise. To me it's just poking fun at racism. Why are the caveman suburban white smart asses? One is writing his dissertation, one is a momma's boy wino and the other is a neurotic furniture salesmen. Who does this show appeal to? I mean seriously. Yes we are all different, yes we must coexist. This show is stating that diversity and people who aren't white, are caveman? What barbarians? Yes I know they are trying to say "we are normal, no different than you" but the point they are trying to make doesn't even come close.

SORRY!

He Said:

This show SUCKED! I tuned in like many other millions of Americans to see how bad this really could be. It did not disappoint me in its lack of humor, plot and characters. Though episode two was far better than the first I was still left shaking my head asking for that 30 minutes of my life to come back. My overall impression was that the creators are trying to explore some kind of discriminatory basis for the show. I just don't get it. Like SHE said, why are they middle to upper-middle class suburbanites if they were really trying to make this about "that" why not have the cavemen be middle-class people in Compton or Long Beach. I think that would be funnier at least. We could at least make it a show about racism in places where it exists. I dunno, I am pretty sure I've evolved from Cavemen.

Hey I actually watched this last night, out of curiousity. I agree it was terrible and just not funny. Way to ruin a funny (series of) commericals. - Smoothie Sabrina
