ABC has announced their next big comedy...and it's the GEICO Caveman. Have we really run out of ideas, America? Has everything already been done before? Excuse me for not being too excited about the prospect of 24 episodes of 22 minute extension of a mildly amusing commercial bit. These commercials basically have one joke: a caveman is plunked down in our society, and faces prejudice for his supposed lack of sophistication and intelligence, and yet he is just as smart and sophisticated as any modern human. There, that's the entire premise from all of those commercials. They're going to milk 11 hours of "entertainment" per year out of that? And yet there was no room on this year's schedule for Arrested Development, Veronica Mars, or Freaks and Geeks?
If this was such a great idea, we would have already seen the following TV Shows:
Yo Quiero Love: A romantic comedy starring the Taco Bell chihuahua as he searches for love in all the wrong places.
AFLAC Duck in the City: A hip comedy set in the Big Apple about the AFLAC duck and his three fowl friends as they discuss men, shoes, and relationships.
Flavor of Love, Aunt Jemima: 25 men battle for the affections of newly sexy and single Aunt Jemima. No word yet on if Uncle Ben will participate.
CSI: Toucan Sam. Toucan Sam "follows his nose" to solve crimes.
Celebrity Fit Club: Kool-Aid Man. VHI casts the Kool-Aid Man in their latest reality show centered around weight loss. Needless to say, the phrase "it's mostly water weight" is uttered a disgustingly high number of times.
Are You Smarter Than the Gerber Baby? In this wild trivia show average Americans are pitted against the Gerber Baby to answer a series of thought-provoking questions. Larry the Cable Guy hosts.

How about the Pillsbury Doughboy Files where the cute and loveable yeast dough munchkin goes about solving culinary based murders every week?
