The article mentions the dot.com "baby Bob" ad turned tv show (which failed), but wasn't there also a california raisins cartoon? and what about tv shows based on toys? haven't there been many successful versions of that? The real question, to me, is "Who owns this idea?" I reckon that ad agency is doing okay by this.
I'm not saying the pilot won't get the greenlight, I'm not saying it shouldn't. I think the premise of the commercial is contradictory to the ad's message (so easy a caveman can do it, cavemen are smart though, so now it's like "so easy, a regular guy can do it." Which is like, "what?") Also, the joke is pretty played out. Unless it's just a sitcom about a caveman who lives in the world, because I'd totally dig that. I guess it's not as implausible as it is surprising and . . .what's the opposite of delightful? OF course, I was all calling bullshit on the sitcom about aliens living among us, and Third Rock from the Sun ended up being sort of funny.
I guess what I am saying is that the travelocity troll is way funnier.
