Carpoolers (2007)
Surprisingly Hilarious!
I was surprised to see just how funny this show could be. I was skeptical at first because I didn't think there could be much of a story line with 4 guys riding in a car to and from work each day. The ride to and from work for the 4 car buddies is a hilarious gossip fest. The way the show writers take the plot "home" into their personal lives is great. Ironically, the funniest character on the show, "Marmaduke," is not one of the main characters. They need to write more lines for this character, even at the risk of him stealing the show. I do hope this show makes a long run. The show's theme is a breath of fresh air and a great change from the average sitcom we have known in the past.
Cavemen (2007)
I like this Show, so where did it go?
I was looking forward to Cavemen since it was announced for ABC's fall schedule. I like the characters, Joel, Andy & Nick. I was assuming the character from The Geico commercials would be the star of the show and was a little disappointed that the show did not focus on him. However, he appears as the 4th friend from time to time. In actuality, I think Nick is the better, or should I say, more sarcastic of the bunch. Once you get into the show, they seem to be just like characters on any other sitcom. I do wonder how they can afford the rent on what appears to be quite a posh apartment. Seeing as Joel is the only roommate with a real job, while brother Andy and roommate Nick sit at home all day makes it a little unrealistic. Then again, that could be part of the show creator's intent. Ah but as with any new show I tend to like, they seem to disappear. I hope it's only on hiatus because of the Holidays and Writer's strike and that it will be back soon.
