Talk:Cavemen (TV series)

message: Removing paragraph (see below) from the intro of this article, because there is no reliable source to reference showing that the schedule for updating the full episodes on ABC's webpage is in any way an indicator of a show's cancellation. That being said, I have seen this show and it probably is cancelled, but we need verifiability.
"Although the latest episode was scheduled to be aired on October 30 —and then transferred onto ABC’s website the day after—, ABC has yet to add the corresponding episode to its full-episode internet launcher, so it is quite possible that the show may have been canceled."

replies: text: Well, the ABC website has several episodes listed for the next few weeks.  The October 30th, episode was pre-empted for a Halloween show.  Hardly evidence of a cancellation. Rabidwolfe 20:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Haven't seen it personally just yet, but I've heard from people I consider reliable that the pilot episode has been leaked on torrent...any information about that out there?

thread_title: Leak?

message: First set in Atlanta, then writer's first viewing of the pilot noted it was set in Norfolk, and now ABC reconfirmed Atlanta (change to the pilot?) See:  AUTiger » talk 19:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If it was set in Norfolk, believe me, WVEC (the ABC station in Hampton Roads would have launched a promotional spree the likes of which I've never seen. WAVY 10 22:37, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Please let this be just a viral marketing hoax...this has to be the least intelligent concept for a sitcom I've ever seen. PhilShady 03:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, it's real. At least the proposal and development are. Whether it will actually make it as a successful series, we'll see when it hits the air. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 04:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This has to be the first television series spinoff based on a marketing commercial premise, right? Does anyone know for sure? --Thiseye 03:57, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

message: "It looks like the Cavemen may be headed for extinction."
Properly sourced, but not may not be exactly neutral, as it came from a critic in an opinion article. Does anyone one if it's actually true?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.227.73 (talk) 00:22, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Third Paragraph 

message: After reading the article I still don't know what the show is about, except for the "cavemen in modern times" part I read on the page for the GEICO Cavemen adds. I'd like to see the general idea and plot at least somewhat explained. MrEvers 04:51, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot? 

message: I'm no wikipedia expert but I had to edit the following out as it appears to be someone's biased opinion and not fact (I apologize if I violated SOP here):
"Mostly, however, critics have found this show to be ignorant and uninspired. The show will most likely not make it to another season as ratings continue to increasingly fall with each weekly episode. It has proven to be a mistake in trying to transfer a 30 second commerical to an all out series."67.80.94.230 02:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that's a good edit.  That definitely was an opinion.  It needed to go. Rabidwolfe 13:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV issues

message: On another note, there seems to be a contingent of anonymous IP address attempting to add unsourced and irrelevant information in order to paint the series as racist.  I could see such info being put in a "controversies" section - IF properly referenced (this means serious sources, not some random person's blog comments). Rabidwolfe 00:44, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hoponpop69 seems to have decided to wade into the fray, but his edits used facts to imply speculation about the motives of the show's creators.  Unless we have actual statements from the show's creators on why the setting was changed, to bring up each city's racial history and demographics is irrelevant.  Doing so indicated original research.  Use it an academic paper for your "Race and TV in America" class - but it's out of place in Wikipedia.  People need to stop grinding their axes in an attempt to prove this is a racist show.  I would like to request some additional discussion on this page before we have any more edits about what a lame and racist show this is.  Rabidwolfe 00:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I think it warranted a mention.  The stuff about the demographics of Atlanta vs. San Diego just seemed out of place, is all. At least you sourced your addition - earlier attempts to add that info in were unsourced and sounded like people who just hated the show. (Honestly, I'm not too fond of the show myself.) Rabidwolfe 01:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The commercials are racist. Think about it. So easy a * could do it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.67.35.97 (talk) 15:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

message: ===On Hiatus===
There seems to be a persistent effort by certain editors to keep adding "On Hiatus" to the infobox value for Original run. I am aware of no specific Wikipedia rules or guidelines governing this, but it appears that the standard approach is to have the value set to "Present". I can cite several (current) examples of shows on hiatus that are described in this way (Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series), Bionic Woman (2007 TV series), Bones (TV series), House (TV series)). I am unable to change the value back to "Present" because that would make me in violation of WP:3RR. What do other editors think? -- Scjessey 16:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: On Hiatus

message: It does seem that all 13 pilot episodes of the cavemen tv series were aired in australia. I did manage to see a tv listing for it. I had read some postings confirming that people were ablle to see the unaired episodes in Australia. I was not able to make contact with anyone in australia.
With a little luck maybe someone (you?) can do more research and come up with recordings of the episodes that remain unaired in the USA and get them posted into the bit torrent world.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wennykelly1 (talk • contribs) 18:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
