Cave Paintings:About

Cavemen is a short-lived (12 episodes, plus unaired pilot) series on ABC based on the GEICO Cavemen commercials. While the series never achieved much of a following, Cave Paintings is our attempt to show that it was misjudged. We are not saying it was perfect—of course not, no one is saying that—just that it might be deserving of a critical re-evaluation given some time to consider its merits.

Cave Paintings aims to cover all the major bases of Cavemen: Episodes, characters, actors, etc. At present, it is not aimed at coverage of the GEICO Cavemen insurance commercials from which the series was adapted; however, the possibility of including content about the ads has not been ruled out.

Currently, we are pretty light on content, at least in part because fans of the series are few and far between, but hopefully, as things develop, we will hook some more interested parties.

History
Cave Paintings began its life as the CavemenTV Wiki, founded by Elspeth on December 11, 2007. However, the CavemenTV Wiki languished without content following its creation until discovered on June 13, 2010 by Vague Rant. Its entire content prior to this date is reproduced below:


 * Cavemen is a show that epically failed after the people at Geico thought that they had a genius idea of creating a television show about an annoying set of commercials. Seriously what is next a show about the money clip with the googly eyes? That is just what America need and Britain needs the gecko to make a show to dumb down their nation. [1]

(GEICO was, in fact, not involved in the production of the Cavemen TV series, only briefly credited in recognition of the original commercials. Those money clip ads stink though.) Following its long hibernation, the wiki's first article Cavemen (species) was created[2] and may be considered the beginning of its second incarnation as Cave Paintings. Vague Rant officially adopted the CavemenTV Wiki on June 15, 2010, renaming it Cave Paintings on June 16, 2010.
