Is Cavemen the Series About Black People ABC Was Too Scared to Make?
LOS ANGELES – I summed up my reservations about Cavemen with a single question to the producers and cast here today: “Is this the series about black folks that ABC was too scared to make?”
I asked because the pilot episode of the show given to critics showed an opressed group of people who had athletic ability and sexual prowess, faced stereotypes of being dumb and lazy, and fought the popular notion that they were inclined toward criminality. From my perspective, the program offered a clumsy, intese allegory to black people — with the added benefit for ABC of not actually starring any black people.
