Title: ABC developing pilot based on Geico Cavemen Post by: dystopia on March 02, 2007, 02:19:23 PM Network television frightens and confuses me.
ABC developing 'Cavemen' Comedy pilot based on Geico ads http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117960384.html?categoryid=14&cs=1 Quote Winner for most unusual piece of development this pilot season goes to ABC, which has turned a series of quirky Geico commercials into an actual half-hour comedy project. "Cavemen" will revolve around three pre-historic men who must battle prejudice as they attempt to live as normal thirtysomethings in modern Atlanta. Project, from ABC TV Studio, is penned by Joe Lawson, an advertising copywriter who was behind the "Caveman" ads -- as well as other Geico commercials (think the cockney-speaking Geico gecko, and the reality TV spoof "Tiny House").

We'll have to ask Blader but I didn't realize Georgians were so prejudiced against Cavemen. Title: Re: ABC developing pilot based on Geico Cavemen Post by: Clive on March 02, 2007, 06:08:55 PM Been there, done that (in shorter form). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfrozen_Caveman_Lawyer)
