Cavemen: The worst show ever conceived?
Did anyone watch Cavemen? [IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1353/1474524259_ad4ea5768a.jpg[/IMG] Want to place odds on how long this show lasts? My totally unscientific guess is 2 weeks. Week 1 will get the people that just want to see how stupid this show is (which still will not be a lot) and then by week 2 it will drop off 40% from there and get the axe....

You might have to just say screw Mexico and sit home and do your duty as an American and catch up on all the television series you are currently neglecting!

And, I'll be in Mexico on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday and return Sunday. So I can catch up on Thursday night of that week Sunday afternoon. Just nothing to watch on Friday and Saturdays.

Week one numbers are in! [QUOTE]"Cavemen" (8:00-8:30 p.m.) ABC's "Cavemen" opened in the No. 1 position at 8:00 p.m. in Adults 18-49 (3.3/10-tie), Adults 18-34 (2.7/9) and key men: M18-34 (2.7/10) and M18-49 (3.1/10). The new show held second in the slot among viewers (9.0 million), trailing only CBS' time period veteran, "NCIS." "Cavemen" overshadowed its season premiere competition in the half-hour, NBC's "Singing Bee," by 2.4 million viewers and by 43% in Adults 18-49 (NBC = 6.6 million & 2.3/7). "Cavemen" opened with a bigger Adult 18-49 audience than the other high-profile 8:00 p.m. sitcom debut this season, Fox's "Back to You" (3.1/10 on 9/19/07). Across each of the key men demos (M18-34/M18-49/M25-54), "Cavemen" generated ABC's top ratings in the time period since last November.

[QUOTE]Oh my what a sad sad sad world we live in.[/QUOTE] So true Kathleen. I don't think there is anything else that can be said to better capture the essence of my disappointment with society... [QUOTE]I think Friday Night Lights will be on fridays. Yep..This friday at 9pm...darn thats too late for me. Do you watch that show....its another one of my favorites [/QUOTE] I was not able to watch last year as right off the bat it conflicted with other shows. I have considered getting the Season One DVD and catching up......just not sure how committed to that idea I really am. I have heard it is really good.

I have no intention of watching this. When I heard about the show I couldn't believe it. I thought the whole 'sensitve modern caveman' gimmick got played out after the second commercial, and now they're making a show about it??? I mean, what direction can this show possibly take? Are we really going to become emotionally invested in the lives of these cavemen? I think the movie Idiocracy is starting to come true!

[QUOTE]I thought the whole 'sensitve modern caveman' gimmick got played out after the second commercial, and now they're making a show about it???[/QUOTE] I agree. I also thought the first commercial was funny......by the time the second commercial rolled around it was already cliche. This show has disaster written all over it. Maybe that is why so many people turned into the premiere......like an accident by the side of the highway...

I had been testing the waters over in ABC Cavemen land being that the 8 o'clock hour on Tuesdays is quite dead. It was much worse then I actually thought. I really didn't conceive it could be that bad. I was actually amazed how much of a disaster it was and the fact that the network gave it the green light. I held on for 7 minutes before pulling the plug in favor of a [I]huge[/I] step up, CSPAN Anything...
