MAGIC         PORK

With all the talk about the new sitcom Cavemen - you know, the one about those cavemen from the Geico ads - I just had to watch it. I expected it to completely suck since I don’t even care for the ads but I figured I should see it for myself before passing judgment. So I TiVo’d it and last night I finally brought myself to watch it.

And it was funny.

I’m not being sarcastic. I laughed out loud. It was good from the start until the end. I couldn’t believe it but it was actually funny. It takes a lot of guts to tell the whole world that you loved a show that is getting almost universally panned but there you have it.

If you look around online you’ll see everyone saying how awful it was. I don’t know what show they were watching. Everyone has a different sense of humor so I can definitely see some people not liking it, but the way people are talking as if it’s the worst pile of filth to ever grace the screen makes me think that they were determined that they were going to hate it no matter what and are sticking with that.

You know I have a good sense of humor because you read magicpork.com so I won’t bother trying to qualify myself to you.

I don’t know if they’ll be able to make a whole series out of this however. I’m pretty sure they’ll milk every drop of humor they can out of the caveman setup - if they are even given enough time to before being yanked off the air. But the pilot episode? Great stuff.

Tell me I’m wrong if you wish - but only if you’ve actually watched the pilot. If you missed it, you can watch it on abc.com.
