...police sketch of the suspect--a hairy, generic australopithecine; the three cavemen buddies argue the merits of using the slur "Cro-magger." ("It's O.K. when we say it.") The show has potential, but the characters actually seem flatter in the 30-min. pilot than in the 30-sec. spots...
...former Rocky Flats workers had hoped that the board would approve Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) for all workers at the plant, meaning expedited access to compensation.

Since then, it has been viewed more than 3.8 million times-200,000 times in a single day this week-drawn more than...
...Good news, paleoanthropology and commercial fans: the Geico Cavemen are getting a sitcom on ABC. Despite misgivings about the viability of a 30-sec. spot as source material, blog site DEFAMER praises "the network's attempt to synthesize the best elements of auto-insurance advertising and situational comedy into a groundbreaking, hybrid infotainment form."
