Seriously, does anyone really ...

Question: Seriously, does anyone really think a sitcom about the Geico cavemen is a good idea? They are commercials, and while the first couple were funny, you can't possibly create a half hour based on this premise. I guarantee, as just a TV fan who sort of knows the biz, that this series will not last even as long as Joey did. It is just a mistake waiting to happen, just like when ABC ruined Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by airing it too often.
Answer: Are you likening Joey Tribbiani to a caveman? The very idea. Something else for those thin-skinned neanderthals to pout about, I suppose. Seriously, don't put the cart before the dinosaur here. Developing a pilot is a long way from putting it on the air, but consider how desperate ABC's comedy executives must be to tap this rich vein of humor. (Not since CBS's short-lived It's About Time, about astronauts and cavemen, which lasted all of 26 episodes in 1966-67.) But honestly, can whatever they come up with be much worse than In Case of Emergency?
