Cavemen Aiming to Be a Stupid Allegory for Race

Ok, it’s look like the “Cavemen” show is not just some vicious rumor:

The producers of ABC’s new “Cavemen” said Wednesday the comedy is much more than the insurance company commercials that inspired it, but isn’t designed to be an ambitious allegory about race.

Geico’s TV spots show highly evolved but shaggy-looking cavemen chafing at misconceptions about their sophistication and intelligence. The series, debuting October 2, follows another trio of Cro-Magnons facing prejudice as they try to fit in contemporary society.

“If the show works, it will work because people care about these three guys under a lot of makeup and … can relate to their problems and find them charming,” producer Mike Schiff told the Television Critics Association’s summer meeting.

This will either be a train wreck or brilliant…
