So, then, how soon can we expect a followup series featuring the Slowskys from the Comcast commercials? Talking turtles surely trump crass cavemen.

I didn't catch carpoolers. I'm guessing it stars those two dipsticks from the Sonic Drive-In commercials?

I disagree with choice A in that AotKT is at least so bad it's good and has the cult status to prove it. I don't foresee any Caveman cult forthcoming. You're right on with the others!

1) You have a perfectly valid point.
2) Attack of the Killer Tomatoes does have a HUGE cult following.
3) I remember "Attack Nights" in college.
4) Maybe the worst movie ever is Howard the Duck or Ishtar

we won't be watching the 3rd episode of cavemen

2 episodes were quite enough....

Suzimar57...it looks like you lasted one week longer than many others.

According to Advertising Age:

"Cavemen' Ratings Devolve in Second Week
TVWeek's James Hibberd: Rated
Posted by James Hibberd on 10.10.07 @ 01:36 PM

They came, they saw, and nearly a third didn't come back.

That's the ratings story for ABC's "Cavemen" so far, with the show's 18-to-49 tally dropping 29 percent to a 2.5 in its second week. High viewer curiosity from the unique sitcom concept based on the popular Geico commercials likely fueled initial tune-in, but how many viewers would stick around after getting a gander at the show was always a key question.
...Each(Cavemen, and Carpoolers) lost about 2 million viewers from their premieres last week."

They didn't show Cavemen commercials, did they?

I watched the first show, out of curiosity since i thought the commercials were funny. However after the first week i blocked the show out of my mind. I like silly things, movies tv shows, and have been told I have a pretty good sense of humor, but what were they thinking with this show , i don't think I laughed once during the whole half hour. Can't wait till this is gone from the air.

It says a lot about today's Walt Disney Company when they put the line "keep your ***** in your genus" in a family sitcom at 8:00 at night.

***** is not a dirty word!

But ***********, now that is FILTHY!

First of all I must admit I never even watched even one minute of Caveman since I had no interest in wasting my TV time.

AOL just released their results for the TV New Season Poll and yes, Ladies and Gentlemen the winner of "What's the worst new show?" goes to ta da... Cavemen with a whopping 65%.
Who would have thunk?

On the other hand there was some good news for ABC.
Dirty Sexy Money came in first in two category's.
" Which new show are you getting hooked on?" got 27%
and " What's your biggest guilty pleasure show" received 43 % of the vote.

BTW:
I must admit that so far I enjoy watching Dirty Sexy Money.


Just my 2 cents
