god was that horrible

:mad:

Who would have thought.... ;)

Took the words right out of my mouth......

It stunk!

Well, it wasn't as bad as Flash Gordon.

Maybe next week will be better.

Maybe next week will be better.

If there is a next week. That was so bad it might get only get one showing.

Whomever greenlighted this at ABC should get fired. Did they really think that they had a hit show here? I mean, how long before all of the caveman reference jokes get said and then they have nowhere to go. After that, it's just another sitcom with a few actors dressed up with caveman makeup.

I want that half hour of my life back.

you don't deserve to have that half hour back. its a penalty for actually wanting to watch it

you don't deserve to have that half hour back. its a penalty for actually wanting to watch it

Just killing time waiting for The Unit to start.

I should have played some Halo 3. :D

Does anybody have a response to this question?

Is it better than the Geico commercials?

I didn't watch it. All I want to know is:

Is it better than the Geico commercials?
I think if they used the Geico people it would be better. These new guys just look wierd. But the blonde is freaking hot.

I didn't watch and have no plans too. I just wanted to note that the show was already reworked and that was the 2nd effort.

There's already a planned protest by the National Association for the Advancement of Cave People.

Does anybody have a response to this question?

Is it better than the Geico commercials?

Yeah, I have a response.

A . . . what?

Television has officially jumped the shark.

HORRIFIC...delted the recording 20 minutes in...

BUT:

REAPER ROCKS!!

I didn't get it...Are they suppose to be like the minority on the planet...

:(:o:(:o:(:o:(:o:eek::mad:

No puke smiley...

How could of such a cute idea gone so bad!!

This show would have been great had it taken more of a Curb Your Enthusiasm approach...

http://www.rmwhome.com/Imagescurrent/icon_puke.gif

The Geico commercials are muuuuuuuuch better than that show. The actors are better, the make-up is better, the writing is better and the overall concept is better.

I only saw 5 minutes before changing the channel.....THAT WAS THE BIGGEST PILE OF CRAP I HAVE EVER SEEN, I couldn't believe my eyes, what the hell were they thinking not using the original Geico actors. They should cancel it A.S.A.P.


another big pile is Flash Gordon which also needs to be canceled.

:mad::mad:

what a waste of money!!!!

It was better than the preaired pilot. :rolleyes:
I saw the preair and wondered if there has ever been a show canceled during a commercial break.

Well, I liked it. I even LOL when that BB clone asked, "are you gonna bite me"! Not the most stirring comedy by any means but it was a lot better than who is smarter than a 5th grader or such similar reality crap.

+1000

the show was sooooo bad that even a caveman can do a better job. ;)




sorry had to do it!!

I don't know why but I was really looking forward to watching this show and this thing bombed, I fell asleep 15 mins in. Will give it one more look though if there is one.

sorry had to do it!!

:D:D:D

This may be the only time that I've Tivo'd a show simply because the reviews were so atrocious I had to see it before it gets canceled.

I wouldn't call it the worst TV show I've ever watched, just a really bad Hollywood attempt at your stereotypical LA sitcom bombing with no plot and no laughs. Only plus was the neo-Ikea makeout scene, which is the first time a show I think has done what should have been an obvious use of the bedroom furniture display there in a sitcom.

The only scene that truly made me wince was the real estate agent, which if they'd substituted something else besides a caveman would have been so blatantly racist that it probably wouldn't have passed standards & practices nowadays. I suspect if the actors on this ever do another show they'll try to omit this from the resume.

Edit: Oh, the only thing that I do hope is that the reaction from this isn't so horrible that it takes down the commercials!

Maybe I'm the weird one, but I didn't find it that bad. There were parts that were fairly amusing, but nothing really laugh-out-loud.

Note to studios:

Learn from Baby Bob. Offbeat commercial spokes-characters do not automatically make great TV show ideas. Do not make TV shows about cavemen, a fat guy eating sandwhiches to loose weight, or giant-headed burger royalty.

Thank you.

Is Geico one of the sponsors of this show?

But the blonde is freaking hot.

That is the only reason I didn't immediately hit the DELETE key. Caveman was so bad it even made Carpoolers seem slightly palatable. But that show also sucks.

What's up with these horrible sitcoms? What studio exec decided that making a show about cavemen would be funny? And, more importantly, what advertisers would even buy time for that show?

Not really my cuppa, but I thought it was actually okay... or at least differently interesting (and a ton better than Big Bang Theory). Actually laughed at its quirkiness and almost surreal earnestness. Thank god it had no laugh track.

That's because there wasn't anything funny to laugh at. :rolleyes: :p

There's a lot funnier material in this thread than the show had. It was the most pathetic show I've ever spent 5 minutes watching. I have to comment on RDK006's comment about Big Bang Theory. IMHO, BBT was tons better than Cavemen.

A couple of light chuckles. I might try one more episode, if there is one.

Eagerly awaiting the next great sitcom: Gecko!

I think BBT could do without the laugh track, to me they are just extremely distracting and over-used.

YOU KIDDINK!?!? Big Bang Theory blows this pile o' dinosaur dung completely outta the water. BYE-BYE Cro-Magnons.

Wolfie

Although I didn't find this show to be that good, I did chuckle at a few things.

Like when the Caveman found out his girlfriend had been with several cavemen, and he told his buddy. His buddy gave a strange look and said "Ok, so she has a fetish". That's what made the cavemen commercials for Geiko so great...they were quick one liners. Hard to put that into a show.

I liked it. I found it a lot more watchable than Carpoolers which followed it.

I know many are predisposed to hate this, but I found Caveman watchable.

Will keep my DVR set for a few more weeks and see if it holds up. I can't wait the see the first weeks numbers compared to the second and third ..............That will tell the tale real fast on if it was survive to mid-season

Wow, that was bad. We could not even watch 10 minutes.

I think the one dude who was whipped was hilarious.

Which will get cancelled first?
Cavemen
Carpoolers
Big Bang Theory

I am not endorsing cancellation of any one of these and only put these up as I have seen all three pilots and think they are most likely from this season to get cancelled fast (of the pilots I have seen).

CArpoolers will go first..then Cavemen...BBT will survive a while cause it's in a cushy timeslot.

This show makes me long for the days of The Dinosaur Show.

Does anybody have a response to this question?

Is it better than the Geico commercials?

it actually would have been better if they ran back to back Geico commercials

The Geico commercials are muuuuuuuuch better than that show. The actors are better, the make-up is better, the writing is better and the overall concept is better.

just the therapy sub-plot alone would have been great and use all the original actors

but network people always find a way to make things "better" LOL

anybody have the overnights for this?

Everyone keeps mentioning the Geico commercials. I just assumed some writer/director said "Hey, people are laughing at those Caveman commercials. We should do a show about Cavemen" since there aren't many original ideas out there anymore. I didn't know the show and commerical were related. Does Geico make money off this?

I dont know. It's no Seinfeld, but I didn't hate it. Some funny bits. I like the concept that they are really intelligent and hip. The scene where two of them go to the coffee shop and call everybody pretentious poseurs then proceed to place a pretentious coffee order was pretty funny.

But I have to agree, stick a fork in it, it's done.

Ohhh...give them a break. They are mere cavemen....this world frightens and confuses them......snl...

Yeah, big Ol dung heap..Tv has gotten so sad.

anybody have the overnights for this?Viewers: 8.98 million. If there's not a big drop off next week, the US is in bigger trouble than I thought.

Hehe, I was unfrozen Caveman Lawyer a few years ago for Halloween. Easy, just get Caveman hair and then wear a suit.

Notice that no one gives them a second look? No "Huh? Who or what is that?" moment. The premise is they've always been there. Heck, a caveman is a TV weather guy.

FYI, the show is supposedly set in San Diego. I'm waiting for any local landmarks to show up.

This show makes me long for the days of The Dinosaur Show.

Dinosaurs wasn't that bad of a show. Lasted three seasons.

I did not see the episode, last night. I do really love the GEICO Caveman commercials. In fact GEICO rarely makes a bad commercial. If you watch NASCAR, you probably have seen the Lauren (sounds like Warren) Wallace commercials. Those are a hoot! "I never said that I wouldn't go fishin' with the man" or "Poor fella, never saw it comin'"

That, in itself would be a great sitcom, ad folks working for "HighCo" insurance going over nutty ad campaigns. "We're high because the other driver is too."

Apparently the show was first set to be in Atlanta but they changed it to SD.

SD, but it was in HD ;)

god was that horrible

:mad:

God are you right! Seeing the Geico cavemen commercials, I was expecting more...far far more. This was one of the most 'unfunny' shows I've ever seen.

I liked it. I found it a lot more watchable than Carpoolers which followed it.

That was another gem!! Two back to back 'winners' from ABC. Any more shows like this and ABC won't even be visible in the Nielson ratings.

Cavema was train wreck TV, I was fascinated by it.

Carpoolers was bad TV, I tuned out after 15 minutes.

I think ABC has some fairly strong stuff on the schedule in Dirty Sexy Money and the well reviewed Pushing Daisies, not to mention last years hits Ugly Betty and Brothers and Sisters not to mention there big 1-2 punch in Dancing and G.A and itsz spinoff PP.

They have a lot more new stuff I am sampling than CBS I can tell you that.

I'll tune into Caveman again as a guilty pleasure, because its really off the wall. I don't think it dissapointed from the expectation that this thing came from a commercial.

Dinosaurs wasn't that bad of a show. Lasted three seasons.It was bad enough. It was just The Honeymooners/Flintstones done by some guys and puppets in dinosaur suits. This only thing kept that show alive was the fact that kids watched it.

Here we have (at best) a 5min premise they're trying to extend to a whole season show.

I guess the silver lining is that even really bad TV shows are in HD now.

Viewers: 8.98 million. If there's not a big drop off next week, the US is in bigger trouble than I thought.



Sitcom pulls a 3.3 in adults 18-49, tying for first

By Toni Fitzgerald
Oct 3, 2007


It wasn’t a disaster and it wasn’t a home run. The debut of ABC’s much-anticipated new sitcom “Cavemen” last night drew solid numbers, though it will take a few weeks to see if they hold up.

“Cavemen,” based on the series of Geico ads, averaged a 3.3 adults 18-49 rating, according to Nielsen overnights, tying for first in its 8 p.m. timeslot with CBS’s “NCIS

Knowing the NCIS people are going "Your kidding me!"

Notice that no one gives them a second look? No "Huh? Who or what is that?" moment. The premise is they've always been there. Heck, a caveman is a TV weather guy.

I think that the show would have been better if people were apprehensive to their existence, or at least demeaning to their intelligence.

The very first Geico Caveman commercial has a guy saying the now famous line, "So easy a..", and then breaks the fourth wall as the camera pulls away and it turns out that a caveman is working on the set of the commercial as a boom mic grip.

The fact that everyone is so accepting of the Cavemen in this show was I think what lost the appeal of the basic premise.

Note to studios:

Learn from Baby Bob. Offbeat commercial spokes-characters do not automatically make great TV show ideas. Do not make TV shows about cavemen, a fat guy eating sandwhiches to loose weight, or giant-headed burger royalty.

Thank you.

Oh no! Don't give them any ideas. I can see it now, a new sitcom: "Burger 'King'"! :eek:

SD, but it was in HD ;)

Yes, which made the bad makeup jobs appear even worse!

Have some fun wasting some time with this. It's better than the show. Check out both "Prep & Party" and "Snooze & Rejuve".

I could only watch 5 minutes of this crap and went outside to watch my grass grow. More rewarding.

Its my understanding Homeland Security is forcing prisioners at GITMO to watch (eyes taped open).

Prisoners have sued as torture in violation of the Consitution Of the United States.

Good one.

There are some really good jokes in this thread. The show is an almost must watch train wreck.

Maybe the Super Fan guy will get his own show now. Got to be better then Cavemen.

Knowing the NCIS people are going "Your kidding me!"

Even the THOUGHT that Cavemen could tie with NCIS is frightening. :eek:

Ranks #1 on my worst of the worst. :eek:

But we know what you meant.:cool:

I almost had an existential meltdown after watching the show.

;)

one of their major mistake was not using the original Geico actors....I mean what the hell!!!

I have to agree, that's part of the problem. I only made it about 15 minutes through before I gave up. It seemed like it was a deadpan delivery of 'thirty-something' with actors dressed like cavemen, nothing more.

I think the people making this failed to see what was funny in the Geico commercials was the actors themselves. The Geico commercial where the producer takes the two cavemen to lunch to apologize, the catty look the one caveman shoots him when he says "I don't have much of an appetite" is just hilarious. It's subtle, and it comes from the actor.

lol!!! I love that restaurant bit as well, their expressions were priceless.

"I'll have the roasted duck with mango salsa"

The fact that everyone is so accepting of the Cavemen in this show was I think what lost the appeal of the basic premise.

That was the thought that kept running through my mind. They were treated as 'normal' people with a bit more hair. Not funny.

one of their major mistake was not using the original Geico actors....I mean what the hell!!!

It wasn't ABCs fault. I heard that Val Kilmer didn't want to do the show. The commercials were fine since it was only one or two days at a time. But to do a whole season ...

;)

I do agree that the commercials are hilarious. The actors get the concept 100%. I really hope that this show doesn't create a backlash against the Geico commercials. It would be sad to lose such a great commercial concept.

Please not the Smilin' Bob guy from the Enzyte commercials. :D

Please not the Smilin' Bob guy from the Enzyte commercials. :D
That might be even harder to sustain. After more than 4 hours of exposure, you'd have to be checked out by a doctor.... ;)

Now that JB is gone, Smilin' Bob is the hardest working man in show business, though those guys in the Viagra band are up and ... oh never mind.

That might be even harder to sustain. After more than 4 hours of exposure, you'd have to be checked out by a doctor.... ;)
If you are still "exposed" for 4 hours might as well use it before you lose it. It ain't gonna work after then. :eek:

Please not the Smilin' Bob guy from the Enzyte commercials. :D

...No Smilin' Bob, no afirmation shouting cereal tigers, no underwear fruit, no toilet paper using bears, no late-night TV get rich quick real estate schemers with bimbo arm candy, no cookie-baking midgets, no ambulence chasing lawyers who fight for you, no barbeque hawking former prizefighters, no mob of cell phone network extras, no price cutting smiley faces, no ticklish bisquit people, no Ron Popeil...

No Ron Popeil???!!!

Love the commercials, but my God this show was awful.

As for them not using the commercial actors, actually one of them is on there. It's the one who plays Maurice and not surprisingly is probably the best character on the show.

The Geico caveman commercials are not about stupid silly humor. It's far more subtle and that is what makes the commercials so damn entertaining. They have reallygrown on me and I just flat out love them

Geico did sell the idea to ABC so they made some cash. Frankly, I hope the next Geico commercial shows the caveman watching a bad television comedy about cavemen that isn't funny. Now THAT would be great.

That is a SUPERB idea...:D:cool:

While watching the crappy show, one could say something about it being easier to call Geico and get insured than to suffer through watching the program...Or something like that...:D

There have been several from which they could choose, going all the way back to 'It's About Time' with the great Imogene Coco.

They could just use ABC's stupid show. :D

He was the one that said 'These ladies aren't going to sleep with themselves'
right? He was the only funny thing on the show, too bad he just pops up and disappears.

I thought tonight's episode was funnier than last weeks.

I missed last week, but caught it this week. Coming from someone who isn't afraid to admit he was and still is a huge Knight Rider fan, this show is absolutely HORRIBLE.

I tried watching...after about 5 minutes I could tell it was a trainwreck....will be cancelled very very soon I suspect.

no late-night TV get rich quick real estate schemers with bimbo arm candy, no cookie-baking midgets

I remember once being up at 1am in college and sitting in the lounge watching MIDGET TWINS with a get rich quick scheme. At one point, the midgets were on a skate board together and being pulled along by a large dog.

And then they had the bimbos, which was a letdown after watching midgets get pulled along by a dog.

That is my fondest and only-est memory of watching BET.

Agreed.

I thought tonight's episode was funnier than last weeks.

I don't know if I found it funnier, but seemed more entertaining than last week. Maybe it's growing on me? OH NO! :D

Damn, I missed both episodes while I was out of the country.:mad:

I thought tonight's episode was funnier than last weeks.

I watched the first episode on the ABC site last night. It's not as horrible as everyone says. I actually snickered at one joke. I'll even look at this week's episode. BTW, I thought "Lucky Louie" was a masterpiece.

There must be something wrong with me but I'm kinda enjoying this. It's more amusing than laugh-out-loud funny, but I dig it - and I appreciate the lack of a laugh track.

I am having fun with the show too. I plan on watching all four episodes (at which point I expect that it will have been canceled).

He was the one that said 'These ladies aren't going to sleep with themselves'
right? He was the only funny thing on the show, too bad he just pops up and disappears.
Yup, that's him. I love that guy. Real shame he only does those pop ins. He's the star in the commercials and he's what makes them so great.

I gave it a spin last night. Best thing I can say is the music was well mixed into the surround channels.

I watched the whole thing last night (against my better judgement), and all I can say is it can't be cancelled fast enough. I watched Carpool afterwards, and while it sucks, it is a major step up from Cavemen.

I gave it a spin last night. Best thing I can say is the music was well mixed into the surround channels.

I don't know Ken, I think it's more a question that the 'humor' of this show is at such a lofty level, we just don't get it. ;)

If there is a next week. That was so bad it might get only get one showing.

Why anyone would even waste their time on this to begin with is amazing. You don't deserve your half hour back.

Why someone would even bother reading a thread about a show they don't like and have apparently never seen is what amazes me. :rolleyes:

Just watched it. It wasn't completely dreadful.

There have been several from which they could choose, going all the way back to 'It's About Time' with the great Imogene Coco.

Good grief! I thought I was the only person alive that remembered that show. Worse yet, every time I hear the phrase "It's about time", that ear worm of a theme song pops into my head and I can't get it out.

"It's About Time" by Gerald Fried and Sherwood Schwartz

It's about time,
It's about space,
About strange people in the strangest place.
It's about time,
It's about flight,
Travelin' faster than the speed of light.

About space people and a brave crew,
As through the barrier of time they flew.
Pass the Roman Senators,
Pass an armored knight,
Pass the firing Minutemen,
To this modern site.

It's about time for you and me
To meet these people of amazing feats.
It's about two astronauts and how they educate
A pre-historic woman and her pre-historic mate.

It's about time
It's about space
About strange people in the strangest place
They will be here
With all of us
Dodging a taxi, a car, a bus.

Where will they go
What will they do
In this strange place where everything is new.
Will they manage to survive
Watch each week and see.
Will they get accustomed to the Twentieth Century.

It's about time
For our good byes
To all our pre-historic gals and guys.

And now,
It's About Time
It's About Time
It's About Time
It's About Time!

Any thoughts on the show's HD picture quality? I was at work (a non-ABC affiliate) when the show aired earlier this week, but I was interested to see it, so I pulled up ABC's HD satellite feed on one of our HD receivers. Even straight off of ABC's feed (without any ATSC encoding or compression), I thought the show looked particularly soft and grainy. I'm guessing that the show was shot on film, and judging from the size of the grain, a fairly fast stock at that (as the ISO of a film stock increases, overall grain generally tends to increase as well). Granted, there's a lot of primetime content that's still shot on film and transferred, and for the most part all of it looks excellent in HD. "Cavemen", on the other hand, not so much in my opinion.

I actually thought the exact same thing when I was watching it. The grain is terrible on this show. Is San Diego all grainy like that? :)

I tivod the SD version and didn't like the look that much either (can usually tell how it will translate)

I'm going to give it some more chances, though I was the only person I knew excited to see how it would turn out. In the one's I've seen, there have been a few funny moments, but it's definately not good. That said, I didn't like The Office that much in the first season :)


Either way it's 10x better than Carpoolers, talk about bad! Sad, because I think it could have had some potential

I'm dropping Cavemen.

I tivod the SD version.l

Why the SD version?

I watched the 1st episode expecting a trainwreck but was pleasantly surprised. I watched again last week and still didn't hate it. In fact, the writing is a lot better than I expected. I'll watch again. I'll hate myself but I'll watch again.

Maybe the whole "Cavemen" endeavor is an exercise to clear out and use film stock approaching it's 'Do not use past ___' code date?

I just saw the second (edit: third) episode after missing the first. I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting to see a train wreck, but after the opening bit outside the yogurt store, I turned to my wife and said, "this isn't bad." I'll have to see how it is next week.

Carpoolers, on the other hand, looks awful so far.

I just saw the second episode after missing the first.

Tonight was the 3rd episode, so you may still have missed one.

No Maurice in this episode... he's the funniest of the Cavemen.

Man that Cavegirl was uuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

No, I'm not joking. I'm speaking strictly on the character, not the person playing her.

She was the Goth chick from Blair Witch 2. Also was in Inside Man with Denzel.

No, I'm not joking. I'm speaking strictly on the character, not the person playing her.

Hehe after 10 or so shots she looks good. Hence when going out I try not to drink. Saves your the next day :cool:

It was great makeup. The hairy arms were awesome. I've watched three episodes now, and I like actually like it. I watch almost no network TV, but I watch "Cavemen." How sick is that?

I know what you mean. I think it's easy to dismiss high-concept sitcoms as overly relying on their gimmick, and IMO, that's the case with Cavemen. And once the early reviews said exactly that, and that the show was awful, it became easy to pile on.

I think it's well-written and pretty funny.

this was def a good show tonight. it's actually getting better as it goes on.

I had a lot of good laughs tonight. Sorry, But I am a Caveman fan.

Loved the subtle (not so subtle?) reference to the Geico Airport commercial when Nick walked past the "Savages" poster. So easy, a substitute teacher can do it!

I think the cavemen on the geico commercials are more realistic than the ones on this show. How limited is the budget here?

Very good ep last night. Funniest by far!

Yeah, I was embarrassed to be laughing out loud while listening to it at the gym on headphones. I thought that it was the first genuinely funny episode.

Personally, I've seen more inane shows (cough "The Office" cough).

I can't even stand watching it with the sound off...

Very funny episode. The scene with the principal was hilarious, "I hear you, I hear you, I'm totally hearing you. I hear you."

I'm a fan of the show, give it a shot an happy I did.

Many thought it would not last 3 weeks

I missed that one, but my daughter caught it. Pretty good show.

Joel building a model of Stonehenge with the wooden blocks in the opening scene was both subtle and funny.

I now hate this show, I was the only one I knew giving it chance. Last 2 episodes got deleted quick, didn't take long, and now it is officially off my DVR for good

Thought last week's Carpoolers was better, actually pretty good, now above Cavemen imo

My life is fast-paced, intense and complex, so when I turn on the TV, I just want to escape.

Caveman to me is very watchable, as is Carpoolers (where I can identify with 2 of the 4 guys). I don't want to watch a gripping drama with emmy award winning writers. I want the 2007 version of Gilligan's Island for a half hour. And like audiomagnate said, the Principal in the most recent episode was so spot on.

At least there is something reasonably new each week so far (unlike Reaper).

I have to admit that I watched the program for the first time this past week. It was entertaining. I think that if one suspends disbelief, then you get it. Its easy to put something like this down. I think its better than many of the 1/2-hour comedies that share the digital space these days. The show reminds me of "Parker Lewis Can't Lose". Its got the same quirky flavor to it. It may be canceled, but that doesn't mean that some don't enjoy the silliness. I think that portions of the show are well written and humorous. So, there!:)

Last week's episode was the lowest rated yet, a 2.4. It's lookin' bad for the boys.

Wow, 2.4! My Cavemen friends are not long for this world!

The new episode is not up on the ABC website. I re-aimed my OTA antenna for the Rockies fiasco so I couldn't get it OTA. I am so bummed. Was it any good?

Does anybody have a response to this question?

Is it better than the Geico commercials?

No. It was far worse.

Only one of the Geico guys is on the sitcom. And he had a very small part in the first episode (I never watched any of the other episodes.)

The premise of the Geico commericals is that a few cavemen are sick of the stereotypes of cavemen being stupid.

The premise of the show is . . . Well, there is no premise. It's three guys who share an apartment in SoCal. Nothing that occurred in the first episode was specific to the main characters being cavemen. So it was the dull, day-to-day activities of three guys who happen to be hairy.

Really stupid. Very surprised it is still airing.

It wasn't on last night (at least on KERO-DT in Bakersfield) in lieu of a Charlie Brown Christm-- I mean, Charlie Brown Halloween movie.

No. It was far worse...

It's still airing because it got better after the first episode.

Indeed, last week's ep was quite good imo.

can't believe this show hasn't been canned!

Is this show still alive? I hope not.

Move along then

If your question woulda been "Is this show still alive" then my answer would've been "I'm not sure. I think there are a few more shows left but they haven't been on yet."

The 2nd part of your post is not really needed if you asked a question. You might've just well of said "I think this show sucks."

Its the best new show this season. I'm sure it will be back.

Based on this info they have only made it thru half of the season. http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/Updated-Strike-Chart/800026937&start=0

Well thanks for the lesson in writing questions. I'll try to consult you on any questions I may need to write in the future...
