Geico's Cavemen May Get Own TV Series

The Associated Press


NEW YORK -- Those Geico "cavemen" shouldn't be so upset after all — they may get their own television series. ABC said Friday it had ordered a pilot for a comedy, tentatively titled "Cavemen," that features the characters used in a series of ads by the insurance company.


In the ads, cavemen appear insulted by a Geico pitchman's claim that the company's Web site is so easy to use that "even a caveman can do it."
The potential series, one of 14 pilots that will be produced by Touchstone

Television this spring, features the cavemen as they "struggle with prejudice on a daily basis as they strive to live the lives of normal thirty-somethings in 2007 Atlanta."


It's unusual for characters from an advertising campaign to move into shows of their own, but not unprecedented. The CBS comedy "Baby Bob" featured a talking baby that had been used in several advertisements, according to Daily Variety.


The advertising copywriter who helped create the "cavemen" ads is writing the pilot, the studio said.


A pilot order is no guarantee a show will make it on the air; in fact, the majority of pilots don't make it that far.

I hope Val Kilmer gets to star in it.
 
Yes, I read about this too. I love the Geico Cavemen, I just hope this doesn't ruin them. I'll give it a shot definately.
