News > "3rd Rock From the Sun" Showrunners bring fire to Geico "Caveman" Show

Bill Martin and Mike Schiff, creators of the oft-overlooked "Grounded for Life" sitcom and former showrunners of "3rd Rock From the Sun," have been brought on to executive produce and showrun the ABC sitcom "Cavemen," which stars those idiotic Geico cavemen.
Their stint on "3rd Rock" landed them the gig. Says ABC TV exec Julia Franz: '"Their background and sensibility lends itself to the kind of tone and storytelling we're going for on 'Cavemen.' We thought they would be the perfect fit with the team of producers who brought us the project."'
"Blades of Glory" directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon are also Exec Producers (the pair directed the show's pilot and had directed the Geico ads).
All well and good guys, but...for all that's holy, STOP MAKING THIS SHOW! Those ads suck.
