    It ought to be said that this strange slice of life about three male cavepersons making their way in the workaday world has its charms, even for those of us who would have preferred a sitcom peopled by that lizard.

    Only Kroll managed to wring any comedy out of this ham-handed premise.

    A show that was once dumb and offensive is now dumb and pointless.

    Yes, Cavemen is stupid, but after accepting that premise one can enjoy its very real wit and silliness. The characters are actually quite clever and likable, and the show makes me laugh.
