ABC's Cavemen with Anne Marie DeSimone

Weird TV

We get prehistoric with the ABC sitcom CAVEMEN.

Cavemen as minorities, with all their modern problems. It’s played for laughs, which feels weird, right? Also weird, the actors are white. Joel thinks his date’s embarrassed by his caveman genetics. Sneak and stalk, confront his girlfriend. Stereotypes are bound to offend. GEICO buried this deep in their basement. Let's dive deep on long-form Cavemen, with special guest Anne Marie DeSimone
