"Paging Mr. Caveman! Paging Mr. Caveman! Your fifteen minutes are almost up, please resort to desperate measures."

Is the caveman the same actor who plays the radioactive guy on Heroes? They really look quite similar.

[Mwynn]

Jeff Daniel Phillips and Ben Weber play the first two cavemen.

I love the commercials as-is. There's no way a sitcom regarding these guys could have any staying power. Don't kill what I'm already enjoying.

Has there been a movie that spun from a commercial? This could be an untapped resource for Hollywood.

[MattWaterman]

That's ridiculous.


In related news: Remember all those "Vern" movies...?

We're a nation of tools. :(

Also, Phil Hartman's Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer was better. :p

Hey maybe it will reach the greatness of another commercial turned TV show, Baby Bob!

I'll watch the first episode. Could be mindless fun for a half hour.

Isn't that what got the cavemen pissed off in the first place?

Nonono, it's going to be very clever fun for half an hour... :rolleyes:

Eh, it was funny at first but now it just pales next to...

The Flintstones were better.
