Wall Street Journal Dorothy 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. |

PopMatters Marisa LaScala
Only Kroll managed to wring any comedy out of this ham-handed premise. |

New York Post Adam Buckman
It became clear to me that Cavemen is extinct on arrival. |

Detroit Free Press
The producers must have been living in a cave when they wrote this inept, misfiring social satire. |

USA Today Robert Bianco
A show that was once dumb and offensive is now dumb and pointless. |

Boston Globe Matthew 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. |

The New York Times Ginia 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. |

Variety Brian Lowry
An utterly bland exercise--a slacker buddy comedy with a more elaborate makeup budget in which the protagonists happen to be cavemen. |

Slate Troy Patterson
Let's pretend that the plot's worth recounting. |

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
It’s easy to see why preview DVDs weren’t distributed–the show just isn’t funny. |

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
What few laughs were once there [in the orginal pilot] have now been effectively removed. |

Los Angeles Times Mary McNamara
A show that is no longer offensively not funny, just pointless and not funny. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
Cavemen is itself an embarrassment because it's not funny. At all. |
