I normally don’t buy into overhyped tv shows, but I couldn’t help but try to watch Cavemen last night. If for no other reason, the idea of a commercial becoming a tv show seemed interesting. I was curious if they could make it funny. The answer is no. Apparently, the entire premise behind the show was "hey, if we make people look like cavemen, then anything they do is automatically funny, right?" It was horribly boring. I couldn’t stomach more than about 10 minutes worth. During that time, they had cavemen playing squash, cavemen talking on phones, cavemen playing Wii… normal, everyday things, and not with any meaning, and definitely without any comedy.
With the way that networks work, I’d be surprised if they don’t cancel that show this week sometime. Either that or what society accepts as "tv worth watching" is spiralling downward at an alarming rate…. Then again, look at all the reality shows that do well today. ::sigh::
