Love the commercials as well. But maintaining the level of humor and transitioning from a 30 second commercial to a half hour sitcom is an order of magnitude more difficult. I have a bad feeling that it's going to be the standard sitcom jokes - only with cavemen as the main characters. With the exception of the Office, a British import, the only half-decent comedy these days is on HBO - in shows that don't follow standard sitcom conventions. I get a hell of a lot more laughs out of 10 minute segment of 'Rescue Me' than entire seasons of most sitcoms.

Best wishes,

Doug

None of these shows compare to Ray Ray's Mystery Garage.

If this gets past the pilot, America ought to be ashamed of itself.
