Here he comes, the modern Cavemen
by Nina Gotzmannova


They had not disappeared in gap of time, cavemen are still among us. Most recently they came from GEICO advertisements and made their debut on TV. The new sitcom of ABC called 'Cavemen' made a debut in a pilot episode, but next Tuesday will the show air once again with small changes. In the well-known commercial is underestimated the intelligence of modern living cavemen. Eleven parts were showing cavemen facing misunderstanding, offends and prejudice. The sitcom will be based on similar characteristic, telling a story about three cavemen friends living in San Diego and battling with problems of modern life and, of course, prejudice against cavemen. The previous plans were that cavemen will live in Atlanta, but production faced some problems with picturing Atlanta in the movie. They changed the setting to San Diego instead. ABC also declared the original episode didn't introduce three prehistoric friends properly and that is the main reason it has to be redone.In the sitcom will play Bill English, Nick Kroll and Sam Huntington, more known as Mimi-Siku in 1997 Disney's movie Jungle 2 Jungle. None of the actors played in the GEICO TV spot, but Jeff Daniel Phillips, one of the original cavemen, will play a recurring character. Anyway the word cavemen and the description of cavemen is a prejudice itself. It is only a fiction how early people may live. Cavemen are often pictured as hairy aggressive men, dressed in animal skin and fur and really unintelligent. They were also believed to knock out their females and drag them by hair into the cave. Hopefully the ABC cavemen will behave gentler.
