Is This the Worst Idea Ever?

The geico cavemen? We all know this right. Any non-Americans out there go YouTube the Geico Cavemen to see these commercials.

Well these 30 second spots are going to become their own 30 minute SITCOM, thats right ABC is making a Caveman sitcom.

from the story, I shit you not:

"...features the cavemen as they 'struggle with prejudice on a daily basis as they strive to live the lives of normal thirty-somethings in 2007 Atlanta."

Yes, Atlanta

So, is this the WORST IDEA EVER?

    Well, lets be honest, there is a slight chance that-- yeah this is just a horrible idea. But on ABC? What- didn't FOX think of this shit?


    EDIT: And on that note, 24 is on in like, 2min!

    But that is for kids, by Disney. This is being sold as "Friends with more facial hair."

    I mean kids movies get a pass on some shit, but this - THIS. This was thought up by rational adults and is to be market by rational adults FOR rational adults.

    I hate these types of movies because they all have the following line in all of them:

    "Durrrrrr, Theres no rule saying the (Dog/Cat/Monkey/Giraffe/Hedgehog/Donkey) can't play (Basketball/Baseball/Football/Bowling/Cheerlead) UHUH DUrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

    Well, that is, if it even gets aired.

    I actually really like these commercials and I still think this is a retarded idea. However I believe it's only a pilot so far and there is still a chance a series will never reach our airwaves.
