Among the new shows, probably the most notable one is Cavemen, all about the life and adventures of the Geico cavemen. Yes, from the commercials. When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke, a way to drum up publicity for Geico. Then I kept hearing about it, again and again, and now here it is on the fall schedule. I think this is one of those shows that turns into a punchline. It’ll only be on for five or six weeks, but people will be talking about it for years and what a bad idea it was. Or it could break out and be the surprise hit of the year, which might be even funnier.

Among the other ones, Pushing Dasies grabs my attention a little bit. It’s bout a guy who can bring dead people back to life with just one touch, and then kill them again with a second touch. Completely out there premise, but it’s done with a comedic touch so it just might work out. Watch the video preview and see what you think.

Aside from that? A sitcom about carpooling, which sounds lame but has Fred Goss from Sons and Daughters, so it’s worth at least one look. Also an all-girl ensemble, an all-guy ensemble, and Christina Applegate with amnesia.

Wake me up tomorrow, when CBS makes their announcements.
