'Cupid' Takes Wing Again [Zap2it]
Yesterday, I wondered what happened to the Cupid remake with the news of Rob Thomas helming a Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff for The CW. So, if I ask about it on my blog, I shall receive? Maybe I should've mentioned a new car or a trip to Scotland or winning lotto numbers, too.
Cupid Goes to Los Angeles is still in the works at ABC after all. Basically, it is Rob's concept and he was already attached to the project with his development deal at that network, so he will be running that show instead. He may still write the pilot for West Beverly High, Class of 2012, though. Wow, updating two shows from the '90s. With NBC's penchant for bringing back '80s shows, next fall is going to be like a TV acid flashback.
I have been in car repair hell for the past few weeks. Totally distracted by it and other crappiness of life which is why I haven't rambled lately, or finished and/or made a ramble public.
- Did you hear the WGA Strike ended? Yeah, I am so behind that I didn't even post a proper huzzah for the picketing scribes last week. Is a late huzzah better than no huzzah at all? If a huzzah falls in the blogosphere and nobody hollas a huzzah back, um, who cares. Word of the day: huzzzzzaaah. And, no, I am not committing am HUI, huzzah under the influence. Just like the word. Anyway, it's over and time will tell if the writers are truly happy with their deal, but I'm most stoked for all of those below-the-line crew members who can now step away from the Top Ramen with the production frenzy.
- With the strike over, a few of the networks were itching to announce happy news of the renewal-kind:
CBS: Yeah, I don't really watch the eye network which is why I'm sadly not surprised shows like The Big Bang Theory or Ghost Whisperer were renewed. And that's why I don't watch. The cheestastic Moonlight was not picked up but is going back into production. Same for How I Met Your Mother, the only other show I sometimes catch. Scratch that, I also have been charmed by the underrated The New Adventures of Old Christine from time to time (such a great cast). Obviously, execs will wait to see if Jericho's fans really can bring the ratings to keep it from facing the chopping block again. Liked it, didn't love it, but I wish any show with a devoted fan base much luck. Always root for the underdog!
NBC: Well, NBC decided to give newbies Life and Chuck another shot. Excuse me for a sec. Hell YEAH, Bartowski! And it will be lovely to see Damien Lewis get another chance too, ahem. Surprise, surprise they also picked up their only ratings hit, Heroes. As for Friday Night Lights, things look dim (never pardon my puns) for one of the best shows on the telly roster. But televisionaries Ben Silverman and Jeff Zucker know what they're doing, right? American Gladiators, Knight Rider, and Bionic Woman are the future of television. But those remakes, um, wouldn't that be, aren't they, is there such a thing as a re-future? Bionic Woman didn't work out so well, huh? Rewarmed 80s shows might not be the future after all. But then American Gladiators is a hit and gets another season (sigh). Way to uphold that shiny reputation, Silverman. Did we just update our spring wardrobe to the Sonny Crockett collection too?
ABC: The alphabet network renewed the usual ratings grabbing suspects: siblings, housewives, slutty surgeons, and flight 815. Newcomers include Dirty Sexy Money, Samantha Who?, and Pushing Daisies. Not a surprise that the Piemaker and his merry band of darlings will return, but I am interested to see if the show can continue to be charming without being gimmicky.
CW: Not to be outdone by the big boys, the CW announced when new episodes will air of its current shows. Wait, what? Did I miss the announcement? Other than the cancellation of CW Now, anything else, former-frog-now-just-green network? New episodes soon, alrighty.
-There are two online petitions to save Friday Night Lights. Click on the shiny light bulb at the bottom of my sidebar to head over to Best Week Ever's blog devoted to saving the show and sign their petition. They have tons of suggestions for showing your support as a member of the Dillon Panthers Booster Club (what will the assistants at NBC do with cases of light bulbs?). The folks at Save Friday Night Lights also have a petition and are raising funds for customized mini footballs to send to the network.
- Joel Surnow left 24. The show was its worst last season (hell, I can't even remember most of it) so maybe it's time for a little new life to creatively revitalize it. Probably the best for Surnow and the show. Wonder what it will be like without the ultra-conservative steering the wheel? Time will tell, dink dank, dink dank.
- Ausiello's strike chart is now being regularly updated as a post-strike chart for the RETURN of shows to the telly. Five new episodes of Gossip Girl.Oh, Little J, feel the wrath of B.
-Coming Soon: my Pro/Con list for watching Rock of Love II: Barbie Hair and Botoxxx Club for Middleaged Dirtbag and Women With Rock-Bottom Low Self-Esteem. Spoiler: much like the bimbos on this show, the Pros lose.
Just a few things found on my trip through some newsies today.
- CBS ordered four more Moonlight scripts [Zap2It]. Not a complete surprise even though it is getting trounced by Women's Murder Club (really? really!) because CBS also ordered scripts for Cane and Big Bang Theory (really? really! really). It's still not a full-season pickup and it won't mean jack if scripts can't be completed before the looming WGA strike happens. Thankfully, CBS put us out of our misery and put Viva Laughlin down. Guess whatever Hugh Jackman must have had on Les Moonves to get a greenlight wasn't that bad after all.
- Boy, CBS is a busy network. Today, their lack of a contract with news writers for the past two years inspired them to check yes on a separate WGA strike authorization [The Hollywood Reporter]. Guess CBS will be the home of reality TV. The last writer's strike made way for a plethora of news magazine shows, and we already have the blight of reality TV, so what non-scripted studio innovation will we get this time? Hope it's something that can help out below-the-line crew and staffers. Studios and writers won't be the only ones hit in the wallet by a strike.
- Pushing Daisies got the back nine from ABC [Variety]. Well, that deserves a squeeeeee! The darling critical darling has held it's own with viewers and proven to be worthy of a full-season. Private Practice is the only other newbie to get a pick-up from ABC so far.
- So, David Chase says that the end of the Sopranos [Yahoo!/AP] really was just a family bonding over onion rings and Journey. And why did he tell us Tony wasn't whacked by Mr. Members' Only now? His book The Sopranos: The Complete Book hits bookstores this week. Eh, I never thought Tony got two to the back of the head anyway.
- This is an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about the season finale of Damages on F/X. I actually caught up on Damages this Saturday with some of the F/X marathon. Honestly, I had forgotten all about it, but now I'm interested to learn Ellen's fate.
Wha, how, huh? Rob Thomas had hinted at some interesting developments with his ABC development deal (would link but don't remember where I read it). Working out the kinks for a pilot in development is tricky so that's a good reason to keep details on the downlow. Working out the kinks for a remake of a show that said network canceled in the '90s, mind-boggling
I loved Cupid. Jeremy Piven when he was still charming, the lovely and talented Paula Marshall, quirky comedy, snarky lines, was Trevor an actual god or just had a god complex that compelled him to match mates? Sounds like everything but the premise will be retooled, from cast to location (because there aren't enough shows set in L.A. already?).
This just confuzzles me. Yeah, there's no denying it has a great premise and the network's current climate is more conducive to Cupid. The target audience for many of ABC's shows does seem to skew more female (amazingly, According to Jim only skews to Cavemen, and vice versa). I'm not saying that only gals watch Cupid or romantic comedies, or that all of ABC's series fit into that category, or that all women enjoy this genre, because I know that's not the case. (Politically correct much?) A glimpse at their Fall programming and it appears to be one network niche the alphabet network aims to claim. NBC is dipping its toes in the sci-fi pond. CBS cultivates crime and mystery dramas. The CW obviously tries to grab the young 'uns. FOX, well, I guess they try to land anyone watching House or American Idol? (so Wonderfalls fans, don't get your hopes up.) I still find it odd that after many meetings with Thomas, execs returned to a show that didn't last an entire season. Will it work the second time around? I'll definitely check it out. Will Cupid's resurrection get great press for ABC regardless of success? Well, duh.
So, RT will be running a show again. Many in the Veronica Mars fandom questioned Thomas' showrunner skills in season three when all seemed to derail for the little show that could. Some even go as far as refusing to watch any future work he produces. I didn't like the direction it took and would like to completely forget some storylines, but I also didn't think it was a colossal failure that landed solely on his shoulders. True, RT was the big boss, but running a show is a really tough gig. Huge mistakes were made but, as I have recently been reminded in real life, we grow by learning from mistakes. It's sad they were made, however with the ratings VM had, it was lucky it lasted long enough for mistakes to be made; too bad time ran out before the wrongs could be righted. I'm willing to give a Rob Thomas show another shot, see how he handles a show now that he's had one last three seasons. I'd like to see what he's learned.
I'm going to give this whole brevity thing a whirl, but don't expect miracles overnight. So this one may be shorter, but it's Friday and Sunday, not the biggest nights for the networks. Here we go:
Friday
The New Kids
Luckily, Moonlight debuts on CBS a week earlier than Friday Night Lights. I feel that Joss Whedon's Angel took the Forever Knight-ish concept in such a fabulous direction, there was no need to revisit it so soon. Moonlight screams canceled-after-four-episodes disaster. Retooled, recast, rescheduled, and promoted with a cheesy faux-interview with a vampire (wink-nudge, get it? Marketing genius, I tell you!), critics only very recently got to review the new pilot. The news, she ain't good. David Greenwalt took over and promptly ditched showrunner duties due to "exhaustion." Caused by "ginormous headache and general pain in the ass"? The-sneaky-bastards-that-be (looking at you, Joel Silver.You know you love it.) hooked the VM audience by bringing in Jason Dohring as a fanged one with supreme wealth. Please, give him loads of worthy snark. In interviews, Dohring invoked (by way of publicists, I'm sure) the name of Logan Echolls, one of my favorite characters created for television. Dirty trick, dude (give the publicist a raise.) So that's a long meandering way of me saying I expect it to disappoint, don't hold much hope it will get better, but I am still going to check it out. And engage in my own MST3K-style commentary.
On ABC, Women's Murder Club. Well, I know nothing other than Angie Harmon and Dead Like Me's Laura Harris are in the cast. Ugh, Brett Ratner is executive producer. Oh, right, Joe Simpson, the man responsible for Jessica and Ashlee still getting work and being hounded by the paparazzi he alerts, also has some connection that garnered a production credit. That should be enough.
The Old Gang
I did not want to watch Friday
Night Lights but dammit-to-hell,
Bravo! sprang a marathon on me one Saturday afternoon last Spring. Hello, we've
met, I'm a marathon whore. It's charming, what can I say. Sorry, Dohring,
but Kyle Chandler won me over many moons ago as Jeff on Homefront so he's got seniority. Plus, I have to see how the
college players respond to his mood ring-like follicles of extreme emotion. A show that centers around Friday night football airing on Friday nights during football season seems riskier than a two-point conversion though.
I just cannot believe Ghost Whisperer is on season three. Just had to say that. Hey, maybe Moonlight does have a shot on CBS then?
Sunday
The New Kids
Nada. Besides the musical produced by Hugh Jackaman on CBS, Viva Laughlin, in late October. Speaking of shows that spell disaster. . . Still grateful Rob Thomas didn't take the gig to run this baby. My loyalty is shaky as is, bud.
The Old Gang
Dexter. Dexter. Dexter.
Not as overlooked as The Wire, true,
but why do the Emmy voters not see how amazing Michael C. Hall is? That's criminal. He was so damn good as David on Six Feet Under, but Dexter is in a whole other league. The promos featuring INXS' "Devil Inisde" are kind of a weird way to link it with Brotherhood, though.
I may have thrown up a little when I heard Nathan Fillion joined Desperate Housewives. I haven't watched since mid-season one after the hype-smoke cleared to reveal irritating characters and stupid stupid plotlines. At least
he's hitched to Dana Delaney, and I hope will only hang out with the Scavos. Maybe at least one scene with the new gay couple on Wisteria Lane? When I watched daytime schlock many many moons ago, One Life to Live was a flavor of the month and Tuc Watkins
(Beggars and Choosers, you deserved a longer life) and Nathan Fillion's characters had such an entertaining hate-hate relationship.
VM Count: 2; For the week: 9. Oh hell, let's make it an even 10. John Enbom, another VM writer and half of the Klembom writing team, is working on The Sarah Connor Chronicles which FOX pushed to early 2008 now. Yeah, that works. Okay, I'm done with those now. Promise.
Let's just cut to the chase and see what Wednesday and Thursday have on their TV-trays for Fall 2007 Again, check out Futon Critic's guide for scheduling details.
Wednesday
The New Kids
ABC's Pushing Daisies is
the show that seems to be on everyone's must-see list. Critics either like it or love it. Those who only like it say
it may be too quirky and stylized. Promos remind me of Dead Like Me meets Edward
Scissorhands. Or even Big Fish. All have a special place in my heart, so consider me prepared to be fully twitterpated next week.
An hour after Daisies, following the Shondafication of Hump Day (why isn't Grey's on Wednesdays too then?), is Dirty Sexy Money. Originally, I was only interested in this show because my favorite VM scribe Diane Ruggiero got a gig with it, but she's since jumped over to Big Shots. Well, here's hoping Peter Krause can make me forget my Six Feet Nate-Hate and remember my Sports Night Casey-Love. This may be my cheesy-soapy-goodness show for the season.
Bionic Woman. Sigh, NBC, I'm still not sold on it enough to watch it live, although it sounds like Michelle Ryan gives one hell of a performance. Following is Life. I will admit, Damien Lewis on my TV every week is quite the effing draw, but it will be recorded for the weekend.
Gossip Girl also repeats on Sundays. It's not on my A-list by any means, but I will probably catch the soap again.
The Old Gang
The second episode of ABC's Grey's spawn, Private Practice, is supposedly worse than the pilot that aired last Spring. Wow. Marti Noxon as showrunner makes it tough to say no; Kate Walsh's hypnotic auburn locks that turn me red with envy could trick me into catching a few minutes; but for the love of Paul Adelstein, Taye Diggs, Tim Daly, and Chris Lowell (I adore this kid and think he got the shaft on VM, shoehorned into a tragically awful love triangle mooning over Miss Mars instead of getting to be a real, live boy), it's probably just-say-no time for me. Sorry, Amy Brenneman.
Thursday
The New Kids
ABC brings
Michael Vartan back to the telly with Big Shots. Vartan, people. But reviews of the pilot are so bad that TV Guide's Michael Aussiello even invoked the word "abysmal" for it in this week's spoiler chat. I will probably give it a whirl once the season progresses because many of
the VM peeps are working on it, including Rob Thomas as a consulting producer and, as
previously mentioned, Diane Ruggiero. Also, Charisma Carpenter just signed on for a recurring stint. Here's to her stealing scenes from the boys as the delightfully devilish bitch she portrays so damn well.
The Old Gang
Old habits are hard to break and NBC's Thursday night comedy lineup is one of mine. Once they all became single-camera shows with no laugh tracks, this sitcom snob couldn't resist. I needed more chuckles in my diet. This week, there are one-hour episodes of My Name is Earl and The Office. 30 Rock slowly grew on me, although I still rarely watch an entire episode and find Tracy Morgan annoyingly unfunny. Scrubs will be back in a few weeks for its final season, which, although I do love it, wish had happened last season.
Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy return in the same time slots
to battle NBC's lineup. Ugly Betty is fun, but I really don't get the hype. America Ferrera, hell yes. The show, not so much.
Smallville returns
for season seven with Clark
and Lex as enemies, no more of that frenemy bullshit, bitches. And thanks
to promos, we know
that Super Girl stops by for a visit. Yeah, I never watch it, but I know people who do.
And then we have Supernatural.
I'm no fangirl, and I don't always catch this show, but I do love it and will probably try to regularly watch it. The Winchester Boys, Demons, and Metallicar, outstanding combination.
VM Count: Only 3!
Okay, Fall, you and I do not have a good relationship. Your arrival means the farewell of my bestest buddy, Summer, as well as shorter days, dead leaves, and drab colors that I cannot wear. (Just because pumpkins are harvested this season, must we dress like them?) And you're pals with Winter, which does you no favors because it gives me cold days, no leaves, no flip flops, and seasonal affective disorder. But Fall, you do also bring newbies for the small screen. And provide an excuse to eat candy and watch horror flicks called Halloween. For those gifts, I cannot hold a grudge.
Since the upfronts last May, shows have been retooled and recast, scheduled and promoted.
And in the next few weeks, based merely on a handful of viewers that actually have Nielsen
boxes, some will be declared a screaming success while others may
struggle to get a full season pickup or, worse, get the axe. And as well all know, quality is not always a deciding factor. At least this season I don’t have to hold my
breath to see if Veronica Mars got decent numbers in it's target demo. Sigh. (Let's see how many times I manage to bring it up this week. Count at the end!).
This season I am on the hunt for a new favorite. I also retired Grey's Anatomy as my cheesy-soapy-goodness, and Private Practice is definitely not in the running. Hmmmm, so many shiny new shows (check out the Futon Critic's guide, it rocks). I didn't even watch any online because I want to see the debuts live. Let's take a look at what Monday and Tuesday offer.
Monday
The New Kids
ABC's amnesiac comedy Samantha Who? has some great actresses in its cast including Christina Applegate (Samantha), Jean Smart, Jennifer Esposito, and Melissa McCarthy. Chicks with serious comedic gifts. When it premieres in October, it doesn't have an easy time slot against Heroes. I'll probably record to watch later.
Have you heard about Chuck? I haven’t seen a single ad for it. In the last two minutes. NBC is really promoting this bad boy. Josh Scwhartz created it, Zachary Levi stars, and VM's Phil Klemmer contributes his talents to scripts. Oh, and Adam Baldwin too. Yeah, I'm there. This is supposed to be a breakthrough role for Levi. I don't doubt it. His Kipp and Andrea Parker's Lydia were the only reasons I rarely tuned in to Less the Perfect even though Sara Rue is incredibly charming. Speaking of charming, I read an interview with him during Perfect that confirmed why I adored such a snitty character; it's the actor. So I'd watch it even without the hype.
The peacock network's time traveling Journeyman doesn't grab me but I am intrigued. Eh, that's alright. I really don't need or want to watch three hours of telly in one night.
Big Bang Theory on CBS. Kaley Cuoco got another primetime gig. Nope.
K-Ville debuted last week and the buzz is not good. Reviving the buddy-cop show in the era of procedural crime dramas. Setting that show in an area that is still in such turmoil two years after a devastating disaster. That adds up to quite the programming gamble. But I just found out a friend of a friend got a callback for it so here's hoping FOX doesn't yank it after only a few episodes. coughDrivecough. Such a nasty habit, FOX.
The Old Gang
Heroes was renewed. With the skyrocketing ratings and the mostly deserved hype, it really was touch and go for a nanosecond. Whew, I'm glad I caught up on the show before last season's finale. Kristen Bell and Alias' David Anders joined the cast for season two's superpower hijinks. And even though they will not be sharing scenes (based only on casting info.), Veronica Mars and Sark on the same show! Sneaky, sneaky, NBC. Because although I really enjoy Heroes, I still don't get the hype, but now resistance is futile.
Prison Break, you completely lost me at T-bag's severed hand reattachment at a vet's office. Oy. Best of luck in your Panamanian prison adventures, boys.
I like How I Met Your Mother. It's not appointment TV, but I dig it from time to time. In the season premiere, Mandy Moore and Enrique Iglasias guest as Ted and Robin's respective rebounds.
Tuesday
The New Kids
Cavemen. Carpoolers. Cashmere Mafia. Fact: I will not watch ABC on Tuesday nights.
Cane. Sorry Jimmy Smits and Nestor Carbonell, I only have room for one cheesy-soapy-goodness drama and your soap about a family of Cuban-American sugar moguls is most likely not it. I prefer some crazy with a dash of funny to be key ingredients so I'm betting on ABC's Dirty Sexy Money instead, but more about that in the next installment.
The CW's Reaper has gotten the stamp of approval as best new comedy from critics. Kid's soul was sold to the Devil by his parents before he was born. Turning twenty-one means kid must fulfill his destiny as Satan's bounty hunter. The premise could go very wrong, so it impresses me that it evidently has done the opposite. Kevin Smith directed the pilot. Bret Harrison gets to show off his comedic chops as the lead, Sam. And Twin Peaks' Leland Palmer, Ray Wise, is expertly cast as the Devil. Even without my Tuesday Mars Fix, it looks like it will be the same bat time, same bat channel on Tuesdays for me. Sneaky, sneaky, CW bastards.
The Old Gang
Here's the rundown on those returning that I will not be watching:
Bones. Despite David Boreanz, I just can't watch Emily Deschanel.
House. Despite the fabulous Hugh Laurie, I've been over the formula since season two.
L&O: Special Victims Unit. Despite Christopher Meloni, I'm two blocks past over for L&O anything.
Nip/Tuck. Despite devilish Julian McMahon, I stopped caring three seasons ago.
NCIS and The Unit. Despite, well, nothing, never seen them, don't watch CBS much.
So Tuedays will actually be a free night to get actual things accomplished with a little Reaper break. Good to know. That's why I plan ahead. Because it looks like Wednesdays are a goner. . . .
VM count: 4
How? Wha? Huh? I am without words.
Wait, of course I'm not. Just a momentary lapse. I thought there was finally some balance in the land of television when this show was cancelled. Evidently I was so very very wrong. I like Ausiello's take that Cavemen must suck so hard ABC re-ordered this winner for mid-season. I can't imagine what pilots ABC passed on if these are their best choices.
And apparently the show garnered 10 million viewers in season one. Okay, it was Jim Belushi and folks who dig those types of sitcoms had to watch early on in order to eventually tune out, right? "The comedy . . . averaged about 6.6 million viewers last season airing in different time slots." Really? Still that high? My head, she spins.
I just watched the extended preview of ABC's Pushing Daisies.
Aw, geez, just when I was getting over losing Dead Like Me
(I still mourn for those reapers, so what?), we get something new for the small
screen from its creator, Bryan Fuller. Those-in-the-know who have seen the pilot adored it, good reviews all around. I
triple-dog-dare you to watch the promo and not agree with its claim of
being "enchanting." I'm enchanted by three minutes. Does anyone else
feel a Tim Burton vibe? Maybe not quite as cracked but still a skosh
twisted and delightful. I expect to be fully twitterpated by the end of
the first episode (although not quite as gritty or dark as VM season
one, gotta fill the void of offbeat telly somehow). I now have a new show to look forward to
in the Fall 2007 lineup.
ABC's new schedule includes nine new shows. If you want all the details, check out the full lineup.
What's new?
So which of these nine might this snotty viewer actually devote tube time? Private Practice got a green light on Wednesdays. I've already expressed my view of the supremely lackluster pilot. I might catch it again. But I swear on my remote that I will always covet Kate Walsh's radiant red locks. And Taye Diggs' and Chris Lowell's fabulous, um, smiles.
Now that I've waded into he shallow end, Big Shots follows the slippery lives of CEOs Dylan McDermott, Michael Vartan, Josh Molina, and Christopher Titus. You had me at Vartan, ABC. McDermott and Molina (long live Sports Night) are nice additions too. But Titus sealed the deal. FOX's Titus was so underrated: fabulous format, characters that made me laugh, and Stacy Keach deserved a nom. for his portrayl of Ken Titus. So yeah, I'll check it out at least once.
Speaking of Sports Night, Peter Krause returns to network TV with Dirty Sexy Money, a show about a lawyer finding his footing in his father's high-powered firm after his death. I don't know, I still have strong Six Feet Nate Hate. Can he make me forget "NARM!" ?
The sitcom Sam I Am stars Christina Applegate as an amnesiac who learns she was formerly an uber-bitch. Jean Smart, Melissa McCarthy, and Jennier Esposito co-star. Pretty awesome chicks on that cast.
Pushing Daisies intrigues me the most. Critics evidently lurve it. It's got the sci-fi touch with a detective who can bring things back to life through the power of touch. From Bryan Fuller, creator of the late great Dead Like Me, not to mention producer on Heroes and Wonderfalls. Sounds like it has just the right touch of magic and mystery.
But what about Cashmere Mafia? Gee, Darren Starr, a show about four female friends? Where did you get that idea? Oh, they met in business school. Bet they never drink cosmopolitans either. Whatever.
What's old?
Lost is coming back mid-season. It was reported last week that Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse made a deal with the network for forty-eight episodes, three seasons of sixteen. I gave up on it in season two, have only watched a few times since. But having an end-date will be good for its remaining fans. L&C have to actually put that so-called plan they have into place. Ugly Betty and Grey's keep their Thursday timeslots, just as Desperate Housewives (does anyone still watch?) and Brothers and Sisters on Sunday.
What's gone?
What About Brian (really, it is still on the air); Knights of Prosperity (will Donal Logue return to the small screen?); Six Degrees (maybe Campbell Scott can join Logue on a show?); In Case of Emergency (thought it got canned already); George Lopez (ditto); and According to Jim (FINALLY! Whew, it's hard to think the tv-gods could possibly cancel a show like Veronica Mars yet keep Jim on the air. Maybe they do exist after all).
What sucks?
Scratch what I said about tv-gods. No such thing in the TV-verse. Because Cavemen has been ordered for fall. The pilot about the Geico cavemen living it up in Atlanta got picked up.
Are there four caveman? If so, could be like Designing Women on crack.
