A breath of fresh air in sitcom world

I was a big fan of the commercials when they aired on TV and was pretty shocked that they decided to make a show based upon them. I mean, there have been many commercials that were funnier than those, but they never made a TV show based on any of them, such as a Geico Gecko TV show! I usually don't watch too much TV in the evenings besides sports. It is not that I don't enjoy all of the shows that are on, but they are all the same, and I cannot possibly keep up with all of them. But I was actually intrigued when they advertised that Cavemen was going to be a part of the Tuesday lineup.

I will be the first to say that it is not laugh out loud hysterical humor that was prevalent in say Friends, Seinfeld, or King of the Hill. But that is why I think I enjoy it so much. It is different. There is no laugh track. The lighting is that of a drama show. And the plot is so out there that it actually really works well. I mean, just the idea of 3 cavemen living together in the modern world is just hilarious. The three characters are all different and they mesh so well.

If you are a fan of things that are different and not of the norm, then give this show a try. I bet you will become a fan.
