Published on Friday, March 2, 2007 - 12:51am ABC Developing Sitcom Around Geico Cavemen!!
I am – Hercules!!
Joe Lawson, the ad copywriter behind the funny Geico ads, including the "Tiny House" reality-show spots, is developing his pissed-off caveman ads into an ABC sitcom!
From Friday morning’s Variety:
"Cavemen" will revolve around three pre-historic men who must battle prejudice as they attempt to live as normal thirtysomethings in modern Atlanta.
Jeff Daniel Phillips and Ben Weber, who play the two lead cavemen, are not yet signed to the sitcom.
If this turns into a hit, will our insurance rates go down?

LOL hope we get a Geico Gecko cameo.

Yeah I heard about this. There is a slight chance it could work but I doubt it will have any mainstream success. The best a show like this could hope for is a small to average sized dedicated following but it's more than likely gonna be very stupid and last 4 shows.

Haha. I mean, I love the commercials, but this is a bit extreme.
