If you’re a fan of ABC’s Tuesday-night comedy hour featuring the rookie sitcoms Cavemen and Carpoolers, you might become a tad miffed upon learning that the network placed both series on indefinite hiatus following last week’s November 13 broadcasts. The reason would be the ratings, of course, which have not been good at all.

Carpoolers did a bit better among critics and TV watchers. Reviews and viewership were …read more

After catching ABC’s so-called Man Date hour of Tuesday-night comedy last night, I just had to pay a visit to the online TV-show forums to get a taste of how the general public perceived the rookie sitcoms Cavemen and Carpoolers. Unfortunately, the news is NOT looking good for ABC.
Although a few people commented that, like me, they found the shows less painful to watch than expected, the majority of opinions ran the squeaky-thin gamut from “I’ve been struck blind!” to “What the hell is ABC thinking?!”
And, that’s only from …read more

Those groovy Geico guys finally land in their very own sitcom tonight when ABC’s Cavemen premieres at 8pm EST with “Her Embarrassed of Caveman.” I don’t know about everyone else, but that intentionally ungrammatical English in the episode title is grating on my nerves already.

In tonight’s installment, we meet several male …read more
