ABC Recasts Cavemen
For Geico Spin-Off??

WHA??? by Mr. Nice Gaius	Mar 30th, 2007 12:13:15 AM
This is an outrage! They can't do that...it's not canon!!!
first, and I'm.... by chrisd	Mar 30th, 2007 12:14:18 AM
not happy. If the original guys aren't in it, it won't work! This is not shmart!
I guesh I was shecond. by chrisd	Mar 30th, 2007 12:16:28 AM

unfrozen caveman lawyer by Jubba	Mar 30th, 2007 12:24:08 AM
phil hartman was great. this show will not be great.
A bad idea... by MisterE	Mar 30th, 2007 12:24:52 AM
...just became worse.
Are they going to recast the gecko, too? by Mr. Nice Gaius	Mar 30th, 2007 12:28:38 AM
chrisd - shucks to be shecond, don't it?
What an Outrage! by slder78	Mar 30th, 2007 12:30:51 AM
This is worse than the idea of recasting Kirk in the next TREK movie I mean he's played the cave man for years, he's the ONLY TRUE caveman. I won't watch some other "actor" play the part that has been a part of Americana since forever. BTW the preceeding has been written saracasticly in an attempt to get the hardcore trek people to get over Shatner and Nimoy and live in the now, or at least somewhere other than their parent's basements.
This is stupid by Poacher	Mar 30th, 2007 12:36:38 AM
The actors are 90% of what makes these ads funny in the first place...to replace them is an outrageous misjudgement.
Actually, Could be Brilliant by 12-GAUGE	Mar 30th, 2007 12:42:02 AM
My knee-jerk reaction was that sounded incredibly stupid, but then I realized: a show about a fucking caveman in modern times. Yes, it could be done in a shitty way, but in the right hands such a balls-out wacky idea could be quite something.
CAVEMEN by THE KNIGHT	Mar 30th, 2007 12:56:33 AM
GOTTA EAT!
I'm shocked. by Bungion Boy	Mar 30th, 2007 01:19:17 AM
Not really. Come on. This is a sitcom based on a commercial. Because of that alone it's probably destined to fail. I haven't even factored in that this will be on ABC. But are they really going to cast three unknown commercial actors for the roles? Of course not. Whatever. I still won't watch. I haven't seen a high concept sitcom since the one hour comedy block of "Homeboys in Outer Space" and "The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeifer." What a magical 5 weeks that was.
Nuke Man ain't a caveman by MrD	Mar 30th, 2007 01:30:00 AM
Not that this is a slam dunk idea for a series, but it seems a little pointless to change the actors. People seemed to like THOSE cavemen specifically, and I can't help but feel the actors are a big part of that. Really, without them, couldn't they have just made ANY caveman series, whether it be Ice Man, Encino Man,Frozen Caveman Lawer, or Captain Caveman?
Fascinating by Frank Duckett	Mar 30th, 2007 01:36:20 AM
thanks for the head up, this news really made my flippin day..
recasting for this is bullshit! by mc_homes	Mar 30th, 2007 02:04:10 AM
the commercials were funny to me because of the recurring cavemen. I wont have any interest in the sitcom with new actors. i hope they keep the same cast for future commercials.
Yeah, seems like a bad move by Freakemovie	Mar 30th, 2007 02:32:46 AM
The performances add a lot to the humor. If ABC is developing the idea because of the creative success of the commercials, don't they realize that those actors are integral to that success?
I think I understand why ABC has to recast. by MoshMasterD	Mar 30th, 2007 02:51:23 AM
It's obvious that all networks HAVE to hire union actors to do any TV series. Commercials really don't have to.
So invite the actors on the commercials into the union by F-1000	Mar 30th, 2007 03:14:42 AM
Seriously, invite them into the friggin union NOW. Internet hype is all you have going for this other than people that will tune in maybe once or twice because they remember the commercials. But who really watches sitcoms these days anyway, so you've already got that working against you. The actors in the commercial are MORE than capable. Remember they executed and launched this idea off 30 second or less spots I'm sure they'll do fine in an expanded capacity. Replace them and you lose your core audience and kill the internet hype which equates to aborting the project before it even begins.
Joining The Union by VirgilHilts	Mar 30th, 2007 03:35:13 AM
Mosh, you can do one commercial without joining the union. After that you're supposed to. It's called the Taft-Hartley Act. I guarantee you those guys are all union members.
This is SUCH a stupid idea. by AnnoyYou	Mar 30th, 2007 03:44:57 AM
The beauty of the caveman commercials is their brevity, their earnestness and their weirdness. How the hell are they going to sustain the joke through a half hour? Especially without the guys who made the commericals hilarious? This idea blows.
Eh by Volstaff	Mar 30th, 2007 05:17:16 AM
The idea sounded bone headed to begin with, and going with different actors just adds to the stupidity. Then again, it's a sitcom inspired by a friggin commercial. The only thing like that that's worked before was Max Headroom ( well I remember liking the show anyway), and that didn't last a season ( I don't think).
The recasting may not be ABC's fault. by ExcaliburFfolkes	Mar 30th, 2007 05:25:48 AM
Who knows the details of the actors' contract with Geico, or the actor's availability, or their desire to do a TV series, or their salary demands, etc. etc.
It WILL be funnier than Reba and According to Jim. by Uncle Stan	Mar 30th, 2007 05:34:10 AM
In fact, it will be funnier than The War at Home and anything that airs on CNN.
while this is the shittiest idea for a show by smackfu	Mar 30th, 2007 05:45:29 AM
I've ever heard of, the one and only thing that makes those commercials funny is that ONE GUY. The one, pissed off Caveman. His mannerisms, facial expressions, and tone of voice are what makes the commercials funny. ABC, you immense fucking retards, it's the the concept of 'pissed off socialite cavemen' that people like, it's that specific character, played by that specific actor.
maybe it will be a reality tv show by mc_homes	Mar 30th, 2007 05:49:37 AM
a fake reality tv show with the cavemen. it is dumb, but someone mentioned reality shows in the tb... i am sure abc is already hard at work trying to match the hype. show will suck with new actors. and the gecko's voice was recast once or twice. :)
Sounds about as bad by kingink123	Mar 30th, 2007 06:20:50 AM
as the Revenge of the Nerds sitcom pilot.
Still waiting .... by FUZZYWOOKIEE	Mar 30th, 2007 06:51:18 AM
for the Tiny House reality show. I mean seriously if you are going to base a show on a Geico commercial that would be the one. The gecko could host it. Recasting cavemen = Bat nipples
THE ACTORS MADE IT FUNNY by stlfilmwire	Mar 30th, 2007 06:59:19 AM
Uhh... it was the actors that made it funny. Hello flop.
So, I say this lasts 3 episodes, max. by ATARI	Mar 30th, 2007 07:13:16 AM

Actually, I work on commercials. by CoursinLarry	Mar 30th, 2007 07:14:29 AM
And all "principal talent" (i.e. The Caveman actors) have to be in the Screen Actors Guild. So, no, the Union explanation doesn't fly. I really think the current guys are tremendous with the deadpan delivery. Maybe THAT'S why they were recast. People in sitcoms need to be loud and over the top.
Those Actors ARE the cavemen. by Dr. Sid Schaefer	Mar 30th, 2007 07:16:15 AM
Jesus. So, imagine the one-page treatment: "caveman walks by Geico poster with caveman/slogan on it. Caveman becomes angry. The end." Doesn't exactly leap off the page, eh? What makes that spot a fucking howl is the ACTOR.
Typical by Bill Brasky	Mar 30th, 2007 07:25:26 AM
Leave it to the big networks (especially ABC) to go and fuck up something that I found genuinely funny. And it wasn't typical 'Ricky Bobby' crap funny that you laugh at immediately and then forget a few hours later. Mainstream TV sucks. They are only out for ratings, and only ratings to sell more commercials to make more money. (The only recent exception in my mind was “Lost” the other night. Very dark, and really cool, I am glad that they didn’t get all pussyfied and have the two window-dressing 3rd season additions somehow come out of their paralyzed state and dig their way up, “Kill Bill” style.) The one where the two cavemen are standing out on the porch, talking about switching to Geico and not 'being a real cave man.' That one has such perfect timing. These guys are great for the parts and it makes no damn sense at all to pull them for who? Probably the same old, same old sitcom shitheads...Patrick Warburton, Charlie Sheen, Judd Nelson, David Spade, Tony Danza, John Cryer, you-fill-in-the-crappy-actor.. . Hollywood, and especially network TV, sucks Nancy Pelosi’s weathered old cunt.
Metatextually this is perfect... by RenoNevada2000	Mar 30th, 2007 07:32:21 AM
Much like their characters, now the actors aren't getting any respect.
UNFROZEN CAVEMAN LAWYER! by Dokkalvar	Mar 30th, 2007 07:35:34 AM
The ghost of Phil Hartman is coming for you!!!
This show is gonna flop like a... um... by rev_skarekroe	Mar 30th, 2007 07:41:13 AM
What's something that flop's a lot?
The Only Way by PotSmokinAlien	Mar 30th, 2007 07:54:54 AM
to make this show good would be to keep it as deadpan as the commercials--- that's why they are funny, they play it utterly straight-- and they cant do that for a half hour. or, they could, it it could be fucking brilliant... but my bro jorson and his focus groups would not make any money that way
Rev_Skarekroe by PotSmokinAlien	Mar 30th, 2007 07:58:16 AM
"[x] is gonna flop like the fish at the end of the faith no more video" has served me well for years

ABC raped my childhood...er...manhood? by just pillow talk	Mar 30th, 2007 08:08:35 AM
You bastards! You're like Lucas! How can I possibly relate to these 'new' actors in these roles that were defined, nay, fleshed out so beautifully by those...other...actors. Huh? Nipples on Cavemen!
What's the point then? by SkidMarkedUndies	Mar 30th, 2007 08:23:24 AM
Why bother doing this?
Being an ABC Exec is so easy by veritasses	Mar 30th, 2007 08:53:25 AM
...even a caveman can do it. Sorry. Couldn't resist.
eyeroll by 1derWoman	Mar 30th, 2007 08:58:34 AM
sigh no, they couldn't/wouldn't give us a cute little geeko tv show. It's got to be the pissed off cavemen. I don't find it remotely funny, but that's nothing new - i don't dig many of the sitcoms on the tube these days. Sitcoms of yester-year actually had things to say occasionally. Surprised? Not really. Any one I've ever mentioned this to gets that look on their face and asks me if I'm serious. Why, Good Lord, Why Are They Wasting Money On This?!?! (totally rhetorical question because I really don't care if some fat cat wastes his cash - it just pisses me off - stupid idiots)
Now... by jimmy rabbitte	Mar 30th, 2007 09:06:44 AM
...they're gonna need another whole round of apologetic commercials where they try to appease the anger and indination of the original cavemen. Man! not getting cast in the roles you made famous... There isn't enough roast duck with mango salsa to make up for that snub...
Jimmy, that's exactly what Geico should do by FluffyUnbound	Mar 30th, 2007 09:17:42 AM
Another round of commercials with the existing cavemen, pissed off because now there's a show about cavemen that doesn't star actual cavemen. The show within a show should feature really handsome non-caveman dudes with really bad makeup who look like the Indians on F Troop or something. The Geico cavemen can then be pissed off like Asian people were when "Kung Fu" came out with David Carradine instead of Bruce Lee.
The "joke" will be that the caveman is more by durhay	Mar 30th, 2007 09:23:07 AM
evolved than the "neanderthal" next door neighbor. In other words, he should move next door to According to Jim.

Is this the Bill English of the "My Fave 5" commercial?
bullshit by BLWiseass	Mar 30th, 2007 09:40:51 AM
no need to recast. I was honestly excited for this but my excitement is considerably diminished now.
If it works, fix it. by jimmy_009	Mar 30th, 2007 09:59:50 AM
Typical TV producer logic.
I liked this idea a lot... by ejcarter9	Mar 30th, 2007 10:01:55 AM
... when it was called The Charmings.
Wait a minute by Yogsoggoth	Mar 30th, 2007 10:08:27 AM
since when were the caveman commercials funny?
Where's The Beef? by Abin Sur	Mar 30th, 2007 10:08:42 AM
They should have made THAT a sitcom and re-cast it with Estelle Getty and Bea Arthur.
There's no way other actors can match... by rbatty024	Mar 30th, 2007 10:16:26 AM

Holy Jesus H. Christ.
And they can't hire the TV ad actors because... why...? by YotzVonFrelnik	Mar 30th, 2007 10:43:22 AM
That doesn't make any sense. The guys on the ads are the reason they're making the damn show in the first place! What, are we supposed to believe they've got "prior commitments" or something? "Sorry, but Jeff and Ben are needed over at Proctor and Gamble for a baking soda campaign." While they're at it, why don't they alter the makeup or by the end of the first episode have them get a shave and a haircut along with major dental work so they look nothing like cavemen! YEAH! But we'll know they still are. That's the genius of it, man! Oh, barf!
why bother making this if the regular actors by Datascream	Mar 30th, 2007 10:52:58 AM
aren't in the show? Seriously..what's the deal here? The show is completely inane either way, but if your going to make a show after a commercial that which is only successful because of the actors why change it up? ABC needs a brain.
aint it cool.... by Merlox	Mar 30th, 2007 10:55:39 AM
news?...seriously?...who gives a flying fuck...
I cant believe by kitkats99	Mar 30th, 2007 10:56:59 AM
I cant believe that they're making this show to begin with. I think those are some of the worst commercials that have ever been made. I havent found one of them to be even slightly amusing, much less funny. Im am slightly taken aback that so many of you have. No wonder George W Bush is in office..America is made up of a much of easily amused idiots.
TOO SOON!! by Pageiv	Mar 30th, 2007 11:07:44 AM
Haven't the cavemen suffered enough?!

You all can eat crow by jimbojones123	Mar 30th, 2007 11:32:39 AM
When season 7 comes around. This will be a uniting show that brings together evolutionists and creationists. The uniting of these powers will create a new religion and bring about world peace. This of course after the new religion officially decides that all arabs are in fact evil, and kills them all. Caveman show will then start a new world government and people will discard their non-cavemanish belongings. Then a flu will wipe out the planet. Moral of the story -- if your TV tells you to throw itself away -- don't listen. And don't watch this stupid piece of crap. Homeboys from Outer Space and The Mullets are enough garbage for one decade -- right????
Prisoner DVD Megaset $59.97 at DeepDiscountDVD by monorail77	Mar 30th, 2007 11:34:29 AM
That's way cheaper than Amazon. Cheapest it will be, I'd wager. Its listed as "pre-order, will ship when available" but still, good price to snatch up while we can. And free shipping within the U.S. ($5.95 for Canada)
dammit Abin Sur by supermarch	Mar 30th, 2007 11:45:36 AM
that's what I was gonna say. I wanna see a show where the Dunkin Donuts guy has sex with the Taco Bell dog. No I don't. Not at all. "Gotta make the donuts! After I'm done banging this dog's ass that is". Now there's a slogan!
...only way this can be funny... by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 30th, 2007 11:45:56 AM
...is if they do it like Arrested Development and have it wit no laugh track and make it seem like a "reality show"...other than that, I see no hope in this already hopeless project... PS: How bout a TV show based on the "ello govnor" guy from that Kellogg commercial?
For the love of Christ by deathstar73	Mar 30th, 2007 11:46:47 AM
For the love of Christ somebody make this shit stop. Whoever made the decision to go forward with this needs to be sterilized, killed, and then off of his offspring killed. This is recockulous.

This is the new racism by Immortal_Fish	Mar 30th, 2007 12:46:50 PM
Unless you're a midget, fat, or white, we can't make fun of each other anymore. So we need to dream up such premises as modern day "cavepeople" to make fun of. It's so very chauvinistic to call them as "cavemen" isn't it? What this show needs is a caveman from Haiti, so we can refer to him as "the African-American caveman" on the show. Yeah, because Americans from Haiti looove being lumped into the African-American demographic.
I thought that this show would br freaking stupid ... by Lamerz	Mar 30th, 2007 01:10:54 PM
But I looked over and Kurt Russell was laughing, so I guess it was okay.
Whats the fucking PREMISE? by Baron Karza	Mar 30th, 2007 01:18:05 PM
I know 'fish out of water' but.. they just appear? Unfrozen? Found? Will the opening SONG tell us the premise? Will it have a laugh track? Will it BLOW DOG?
Kurt Russell would never laugh at this shit! by Snake Foreskin	Mar 30th, 2007 01:28:48 PM
He'd want the TV actors to keep their roles.
sorry but it just wont be the same. by dr.bulber	Mar 30th, 2007 01:30:51 PM
only the original actors can ever be the cavemen. leave it to t.v. to screw this up. im not watching unless the original cavemen are in it.
Pilot Leak by Masked Avenger	Mar 30th, 2007 01:33:07 PM
I have no idea how the show is going to be, one report stated they would be in modern day Atlanta. But a friend told me that he did some work on the pilot and it's starts with a multi camera sitcom, very hokey, and the regular guys are starring in it, then after a few bad caveman jokes one of the cavemen breaks character, he's still really a caveman but we discover that part of their settlement with Geico was a t.v. deal, and so the show, at least for the pilot has a show-within-a show premise. That's what I heard. Also, I think they should cast Dennis Quaid and Ringo Starr, the original funny cavemen!

This show will never see the light of day.
mr ahole ramirez by PwnedByStallone	Mar 30th, 2007 02:06:08 PM
Pangea was millions of years ago. Modern man has only walked the earth for about 200,000 years. But yes there is consistent and convincing evidence that modern homo sapiens arose out of the continent of Africa and spread to the rest of the continents from there.
...thanks for clarifyin Stallone... by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 30th, 2007 02:17:50 PM

BringingSexyBack by veritasses	Mar 30th, 2007 02:28:14 PM
I couldn't resist saying it :-) I'm surprised the whole "Even A Caveman Can Do It" hasn't become an AICN TB staple like "...Gotta Eat". I would've expected to see a Transformers TB somehow equating Michael Bay to a caveman

Allstate Medium by Jumping Windows	Mar 30th, 2007 03:03:00 PM
How about with Dennis Haysbert as a regular schmoe with a knack for knowing when minor-impact collisions are going to occur. Allstate secretly recruits him to appear at the scenes with settlement release and $500.00 checks for the "injured" parties before they reach the hospital. The pilot episode could have him stumbling upon a mother-son African American team who stages accidents then conspires with ambulance-chasing attorneys and the chiropractors who love them to fleece Allstate out of $2500.00 a month for each month of treatment for soft-tissue injuries. Then, the season finale could have the 24 prez heading to a Washington committee to explain why the Allstate exclusions in the policy preclude coverage for the flood damaged homes from Katrina. Of course, we find out in the second season premiere that President Palmer's persuasive powers were successful---thereby preserving Allstate's $5 billion dollar profit for 2007.
But if we're all African-American... by Immortal_Fish	Mar 30th, 2007 03:03:36 PM

Oh, well, then... SOLD!! All you need are Sir Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart in your adaptation to make it fully and completely faithful to the source material devoid of any tampering at all. This series should be directed by Bryan Singer! Lookit how well he handled his utterly faithful adaptation of Superman! And that movie made some serious bank.
docoholic - Screw Chuck Norris by Lamerz	Mar 30th, 2007 04:00:44 PM
The old bat from the 80's Wendy's commercials was beating up Chuck Norris the other day yelling "Where's the Beef! Where's the Beef!" Sure she had to crawl out of her grave to do it, but Kurt Russell was laughing pretty hard, so I guess it was okay.

long time reader.....sometime poster. a few of the daily tabliods in the uk [either daily express or daily mail @ a day or so ago reported that Ray had been cast as Indy's sidekick for the new movie along with kate 'thingy' [name escapes me]. Then they got a bit confused and said that the role he was picking up was played by a small asian boy in TOD[!!!???] presumably shortround but I can't see ray playing an asian grownup. the speculation was, will he stay in cockney or put on a yank accent a le 'The Departed'. not seen this on your site, but they did have a quote from ray confirming it in the article.

my first reaction was WHAT? then my second reaction was, why did i react like that to a show based on a commerical, but then i thought about it some more (too much brain power dedicated to this i think) and came to the conclusion that i liked those commercials based on the characters that came off the screen. i will boycott this until the original actors are back.
This is on par... by Bubba Gillman	Mar 30th, 2007 08:35:26 PM
...with Dick York replacing Dick Sergeant (or was it the other way around?), Roger Moore replacing Sean Connery, those automotans that replaced John Schneider and Tom Wopat, and Beau Delibar replacing Vinnie Barbarino. Is nothing sacred????

check out http://www.cavemanscrib.com/. Watch out for the pissy metrosexual attitude. Check out the kitchen for the recipe for Roast Duck with Mango Salsa. I think a show definitely has potential.

they pitched the idea to Kurt Russell and he laughed hard, so it must be ok. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do

Thats why I fucking HATE actor unions. It's not a dangerous profession, andthe dues are huge fucking rip offs. Go to the SAG website and check out the prices. Rip Offs.

Shows based on moderately amusing television commercials?!? What's next? Movies based on videogames? Nevermind...
This show couldn't be any worse than... by chrisd	Apr 1st, 2007 04:01:26 AM
any Andy Richter so-called comedy (what does he have on Conan to make him give him TV shows) or two! different shows about the behind-the-scenes goings-on of psuedo-Saturday Night Live shows.

My Two sense by magrurry	May 8th, 2007 02:29:29 PM
clever, huh? well, F- U, then. When i first saw that second ad where they were out to lunch with the ad guy and being pompous assholes, i hated them. i couldnt stop watching it though. i kept saying "man i would pick up one of the chairs and fucking KaBong that prick if he shrugged off MY apology like that. then i saw another one and it was like, "oh man, a new commercial series..." not that it was the best ever, and i did hate it, but its cool when you see something you recognize but haven't seen before you know. i was hooked. The actors hooked me. iv'e run out of clever things to compare all this too, no wait; first Starbucks a girl, and now this?
