Cavemen (2007)
Like it, Love it, Gotta Have it!!
This show has so much going for it. Smart sardonic writing, no irritating laugh tracks, an actual story per episode instead of a bunch of punchlines thrown together(you know who you are Friends). I really liked the idea that the show wasn't exclusively about exploring the cavemen lifestyle and tended to focus more on the border collisions between their lives and ours. I like finding little things and facets about them (shavers, cave-women, cavemen-politicians etc.) The fact that they are different allows them to fire some real zingers about our lifestyle today. The Ikea esquire Norskbild just cracks me up. I am surprised by how well fleshed out the supporting characters are: Kate, her mom, thorne, Joel's boss etc. Nick with his screw-you-sapiens attitude and Joel as the easy going assimilation-embracer make for great contrasts. I can't understand why people and the goddamnn critics hate this show so much. I am a little worried it might be on its way out because it hasn't aired in some weeks now
