Based on a series of popular Geico TV commercials, this fish-out-of-water sitcom looks at contemporary life in San Diego through the eyes of three cavemen: cynical Nick, laid-back Andy and middle-man Joel. Early in the series, Joel starts dating a Home sapien woman, Kate, and must navigate the obstacles that come with interspecies dating.

The show still hasn't totally found its tone or its characters. But it's much closer than it was in its revised pilot, which defanged the social humor of the original. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 10/09/2019
The problem with "Cavemen" is that nobody seems to have thought the concept through much beyond that - starting with how to transform a sight gag previously delivered via 30-second increments into a legitimate TV show with actual plots and characters.

"Cavemen" has very little going for it. The visual joke of seeing cavemen among us is tired from the get-go, unless you're still laughing over the sight of the alien "ALF" with the Tanner family. Go to Full Review Marisa LaScala PopMatters 10/09/2019

Only [Nick] Kroll managed to wring any comedy out of this ham-handed premise. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 10/09/2019
It's bad, but because it's not horrible, you might be pleasantly surprised. Probably not. But maybe. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 10/09/2019
A decent cast of comedic actors is diminished by material as funny as a flat tire. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
