    I think the reason everyone's been hating on Cavemen is because they've been preempted to think so. The media completely bashed the idea before even seeing the first episode. People went into the show with the mentality that it was going to suck, and it stuck with them. If people would just forget the negative hype, forget the fact that it was based off commercials, and forget trying to analyze it for a "deeper racial meaning", then Cavemen could be more appreciated.Personally, this is the best show I've seen in a long time. Dialogue is full of the same dry, sarcastic humor the commercials captured, plus a lot of modern references such as Halo 3 and Zac Efron. The plot is fast-paced and doesn't dwell on unimportant, boring details. The characters are diverse and lovable; from sensitive, child-like Andy to cynical, lazy and opinionated Nick. Unlike every other cheesy, uninteresting sitcom, there's no laugh track and the lighting is that of a normal TV show. Also, the fact that the guys are upscale, sweater-vest yuppies makes it even more hilarious. What's not to love?I really hope the rumors of cancellation are false; I'll be sincerely upset if they aren't. Charlie Brown can't possibly be a better replacement for such a brilliant show.

    That's what my Granddaddy used to say, and wow -- he's still right. It's frustrating to hear all of the negative comments out there about CAVEMEN. And what I've noticed is that the folks who are nay-saying this absolutely hilarious new show haven't even seen it! (That's kind of like someone complaining about our government leaders when that person isn't even registered to vote.) Anyway, I urge and encourage you to check out at least one episode of CAVEMEN, especially if you're an under-50 male. The writing is brilliant, and the acting is perfectly paced and delivered. It's simply a good show, from concept through post and onto your screen. Don't miss it!

    No points for mind-blowing originality, but at least this show is a fresh take on current trends in society. "Cavemen" reminds me a lot of "Friends", only written for the audiences of 2007, not 1997. I'm sick and tired of all the cookie-cutter sitcoms these days, which usually fall into one of two categories. Either they're rehashes of the family-based comedy (Everybody Loves Raymond, Full House - you get the point), or they try to be so incredibly original that you can barely understand them (like It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia). It's nice to see a well-enough executed show that isn't trying to be too hip, or sharp and cynically witty, without being too cute for its own good. I think "Cavemen" will grow on people, mostly because it highlights the funniest parts of their own experiences.

    I actually didn't mind the Geico commercials the first 50 of so times I saw them and even found them to be a bit wry and amusing, BUT SERIOUSLY! This is the BEST thing that these people could come up with?!? This show sucks! It is bland and feels like watching an episode of "The Office" with the characters disguised as cavemen (I know a lot of you will hate me for saying that but "The Office" just does not do it for me). Okay, I get it: we have the poor slob just trying to keep his nose clean and he has a crappy boss who hates him; the pseudo-intellectual who really just has a barely-functioning intellect; and the dopey one who just wants to be accepted, but SO WHAT!!! I have worked with these people and found them just as annoying in real life as I do on TV...why would I want to waste another 1/336th of my week watching more of those type nominates?!? Please call your parents and ask them if they dropped you on your head if after thinking about it, you still delude yourself into believing that this is entertainment.
