Only Kroll managed to wring any comedy out of this ham-handed premise.
-
It became clear to me that Cavemen is extinct on arrival.
-
The producers must have been living in a cave when they wrote this inept, misfiring social satire.
-
A show that was once dumb and offensive is now dumb and pointless.
-
Cavemen is pretty bad. It's definitely among the stalest pieces of bread in the loaf, which already includes 'Two and a Half Men' and 'According to Jim.' And it's certainly the most tasteless.
-
Cavemen, set in some version of San Diego where people speak with Southern accents, doesn’t have moments as much as microseconds suspended from any attempt at narrative.
-
It’s easy to see why preview DVDs weren’t distributed–the show just isn’t funny.
-
What few laughs were once there [in the orginal pilot] have now been effectively removed.
-
An utterly bland exercise--a slacker buddy comedy with a more elaborate makeup budget in which the protagonists happen to be cavemen.
-
Let's pretend that the plot's worth recounting.
-
A show that is no longer offensively not funny, just pointless and not funny.
-
Cavemen is itself an embarrassment because it's not funny. At all.
