I didn't buy into the premise of The Munsters, I Dream of Jeannnie, Gilligan's Island, Bewitched, etc. All good shows. It's called fantasy and fiction. Why in the world would everyone have to believe everything they see on tv. And the show is not about tolerance, it's about overly politically correct people, just this time they are cavemen. LOVE THE SHOW, Hope it stays on for years. 647104@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 Nov 2007 10:07:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/31/073137.php#comment-647058 This show is one of the best-written comedies has come around in years on TV. Yes the office and 30 rock are good but for some strange reason the jokes and situations seem recycled. However, Cavemen seems to be hip and new for some strange reason. And I am not just talking about the fact that they are cavemen. In fact, I think the only negative aspect of the show is that they ARE cavemen. The story lines could work just as well if they were real people (with some minor tweaks). I have a feeling if the show were about a bunch of guys and not cavemen, this would be the break out of the season. But they are cavemen, and for that reason TV viewers refuse to give it a chance, whether it is because they cannot relate to characters covered in hair or because there is that hunch that a show based off of commercials cannot be good. But this show is good. I thought the Yogurt episode was hands down the best 30 minutes of television I have seen all year. Unfortunately we live in a culture where things are successful based on how they are packaged. If it looks cool (i.e. hero and lost) then it must be good, when in fact those shows have depleted most of their steam early on. In summary, give the show a chance! 647058@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 Nov 2007 03:42:10 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/31/073137.php#comment-647036 I love the Cave, I just looked you up on IMDB, what 20 years in show business and you've had one part? Maybe you're just a little jealous of the Cavemen. Maybe it's time for you to get a real job. 647036@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 Nov 2007 01:14:30 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/31/073137.php#comment-647035 The show is funny, everybody we know is watching it. Who cares about messages and policital correctness. A sitcom is supposed to be funny and it is funny. And, "I can hear my college television production teacher say, "What's the point", give me a freakin' break. What do college television production teachers know about television anyway. If they were any good, they would be producing television and not teaching it. Just like the old saying. What's the point??? Why does it have to have a point. The writing is good, the actors are awesome. I am over 40 years old and I love this show. You're review is obviously just sour grapes. 647035@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 Nov 2007 01:07:03 EDT
