I know, it’s hard to believe that a comedy based on an insurance company commercial depicting cavemen in modern times could be anything less than the most spectacular 22 minutes of television ever. But, apparently, they managed to screw this up.
Now comes the most mind numbing, stupendously stupid and astoundingly misguided part of this fiasco: The creators have tried to infuse social satire by making the show an allegory for prejudice. They draw astoundingly leaden parallels to every minority group in the world without a laugh in sight. It’s jaw dropping horrendous and actually makes “American Dad’s” lunkheaded topicality seem sophisticated.
Head over to AICN to read the full review.

Got to be the worst show I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe someone thought this was a good idea.

The sitcom is campy and is going to fall into some serious dislike if they don’t make the comedy more like the commercials, the subtle approach. The behaviors of the commerical characters are classic and it’s all about the timing. The whole prejudice issue can be worked with if the writing is there, it definitely has potential if the series seems too “made for tv.”
danger.

Prediction:
Surprisingly fair ratings, and more than a small amount of success (due to the growing, “invisible”, population of disenfranchised viewers stricken with incurable obesity).
