Geico Cavemen may not get respect, however, they may get a TV gig!
We’re a bit ashamed to admit it, but we LOVE those Geico Cavemen commercials. Well, at least Steven does. Nikki…not so sure. So how interesting that ABC is considering making them regulars in their fall sitcom lineup. Here are some details from Fox News.
ABC said Friday it had ordered a pilot for a comedy, tentatively titled “Cavemen,” that features the characters used in a series of ads by the insurance company.
In the ads, cavemen appear insulted by a Geico pitchman’s claim that the company’s Web site is so easy to use that “even a caveman can do it.”
The potential series, one of 14 pilots that will be produced by Touchstone Television this spring, 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.”
Can this premise possibly hold our attention on a weekly basis? We’re not sure, but we’ll definitely be there to give it a shot. In the meantime, enjoy the commercial that started it all and be sure and visit YouTube if you haven’t seen all of them. They are a blast!
