Wall Street JournalDorothy Rabinowitz
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.

It became clear to me that Cavemen is extinct on arrival.
Read Full Review >Detroit Free Press
The producers must have been living in a cave when they wrote this inept, misfiring social satire.
Read Full Review >USA TodayRobert Bianco
A show that was once dumb and offensive is now dumb and pointless.
Read Full Review >Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Cavemen is pretty bad. It's definitely among the stalest pieces of bread in the loaf, which already includes 'Two and a Half Men' and 'According to Jim.' And it's certainly the most tasteless.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesGinia Bellafante
Cavemen, set in some version of San Diego where people speak with Southern accents, doesn’t have moments as much as microseconds suspended from any attempt at narrative.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
An utterly bland exercise--a slacker buddy comedy with a more elaborate makeup budget in which the protagonists happen to be cavemen.
Read Full Review >Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
It’s easy to see why preview DVDs weren’t distributed–the show just isn’t funny.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond
What few laughs were once there [in the orginal pilot] have now been effectively removed.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesMary McNamara
A show that is no longer offensively not funny, just pointless and not funny.
Read Full Review >Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Cavemen is itself an embarrassment because it's not funny. At all.

This is a comment for the latest commercial Caveman vs Billy Jean King in a tennis match sponsored by Geico. Everytime I think of the commercial I laugh. A must see.
Gerald V. gave it a10:
I loved this show. It was a shame it was taken off the air. I think people panned this show without even watching it, really. The characters were very likable and it made me laugh more than most sitcoms that have been on for years!
Evelyn L.s gave it a0:
Totally. epic. FAIL.
Amber W. gave it a1:
I was only able to watch a few moments of this horrible show before changing the channel. I think the whole idea for this show was a bad one.
Cody M gave it a9:
I love this show. Its very well written and a convenient vehicle for plays on stereotypes. I agree most people wont get it, imagination has been replaced by 'reality'.
Tupac S gave it a10:
I don't get how people don't like this show. It's very funny if you have a weird sense of humor.
Andrew H. gave it an8:
Dumb, and obvious, yes. But also occasionally insightful and quite often funny.
