The State Farm ads depressed me during 24, last season. I had a really hard time letting go of President Palmer. Those ads just rubbed salt in the wound.

Scott would have a great time watching commercials with bon bon and Bob. He's such a fan, but I completely tune them out. He generally has to rewind and make me watch the good ones, because otherwise, I'm oblivious to them.

For the record, I like the caveman ads a whole lot -- though I only have to sit through them when I want to because of the magic of TiVo. But for a long time I've thought that cavemen get a raw deal in the popular imagination, because they were damn smart, just stuck in a much rougher environment than we have.

Also, weren't most of the Muppets originally created in commercials?

I totally think caveman would kick astronaut bootie.

Heh.

They should have a short scene where a caveman and an astronaut get into an elevator. They exchange looks, and then the elevator doors close. Then we cut to a shot on a different floor - the elevator doors open and we see the astronaut crumpled in the corner as the caveman casually walks out of the elevator.

Actually, aren't they Allstate ads? Good hands=allstate. Like a good neighbor=state farm.

I think you might be right, sara.

There's a great TAL piece about that, about the cast and crew of Riverdance. Check it out!

I love that story! I have it on my iPod now!

I have no opinion on the caveman commercials as I usually ff past them.

This is why I shouldn't answer my phone: I just did, and it was an interviewee who we didn't bring back for the second round. Stupid no voicemail. And by "voicemail," of course I mean "Caller ID."

Oh, the caveman's crib site is wonderful! He yells at you if you flush the toilet when he's in the shower....

Dorktower is extremely Buffista appropriate today

That's hilarious! I'll have to send that to the weekend evening guy on WGN radio--he loathes Rachel Ray.
