Will Cavemen Become Extinct? - Bodog Odds

Everyone seems to love the GEICO caveman commercials, but will the same hold true for the new show entitled Cavemen? Based on the commercials, the series has been described by the network as a “unique buddy comedy that offers a clever twist on stereotypes and turns race relations on its head.”

The show debuted on October 2nd and will air every Tuesday night at 7pm CST on ABC.

MEET THE CAVEMEN

The show takes place in San Diego, where cavemen Andy, Nick and Joel live together in an apartment. While they look very similar, they each have a distinct personality. Nick is a cynic who stays clear of female Homo Sapiens. Andy is a passive lump of hair, while Joel is sensitive and possesses a large libido.

POOR RECEPTION

ABC ordered 13 episodes of the show, but the pilot was met with less-than-favorable reviews. Afterwards, the show underwent and major overhaul before it was shown to a national audience.

Of course, whether the overhaul worked remains to be seen. If early critical response is any indication, the answer would be “no.”

One critic said, “Cavemen is an ill-conceived, humorless mess.”

Another said that the comedy “seemed interminable, and about as funny, as the Stone Age.”

In fact, many believe that it will be the first show of the new season to get the ax.
