Cavemen, a comedy series born out of string of Geico commercials, has received poor reviews from numerous television critics, and the unfortunate thing is, the show has yet to begin airing. Nevertheless, executive producer Will Speck, who was involved with the popular ad spots, still believes the show holds much promise.
“When we were making the commercials, we just felt like there were more stories to tell,” Speck told Contra Costa Times. “And I think it starts in the purest place, which is us feeling like there's love and affection for these characters from us. And I think, if we do our jobs right, people will follow suit.”

In BuddyTV’s 2007 Fall TV Guide, we stared at countless photographs of the new show casts to determine which were most pleasing to the eye (the “Beauties”) and which weren’t so pleasant (the “Beasts”). In the end, we settle on Private Practice, Cane and Gossip Girl as having the hottest casts, while Cavemen, Dirty Sexy Money and Back to You all came up short in the looks department.
I wouldn't call myself a picky girl. I've dated lots of different kinds of men over the years with very different styles. I've dated the preppy guy who shopped at Eddie Bauer and Banana Republic. I've let the businessman take me out in his three-piece suits. I've had boyfriends who are clean-shaven, had a full beard, and some with a 5 o'clock shadow. I even once spent time with a guy who wore pants so low, I should have bought him stock in a suspenders company. I'm not sure what I was thinking. It was college. However, I draw the line of interest in the opposite sex at cavemen.

In BuddyTV's 2007 Fall TV Guide, we assessed each night to see which shows the major networks were pitting against each other, and determined which ones would emerge victorious in the ratings war.
Tuesday night has always been girl-power night for me, what with the kick-ass Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gilmore Girls and, the most recent addition, Veronica Mars. This year marks the first time in almost a decade that the Tuesday night lineup is not dominated by sassy young women, and it'll be interesting to see who will come out on top.
