Advance warning: Live-blogging “Cavemen’s” TCA session

Your Mayor has been the go-to source for all things “Cavemen,” from the exclusive scoop that the series in fact would not be a comedy to the grim confirmation that comedy and “Cavemen” exist in mutually exclusive epochs.

Everyone covering TV Press Tour that I’ve spoken to shares my utter lack of enthusiasm for the show – one research project in which I participated for Johns Hopkins University (or USA Today Weekend; in the frenzied blur that is Press Tour, I forget which) declared it the worst show of the upcoming season.

And so, today should be fun: ABC’s portion of Press Tour begins, and the “Cavemen” session is scheduled for this afternoon at 2:15 p.m. Participants will include stars Bill English, Nick Kroll and Sam Huntington, executive producers Bill Martin & Mike Schiff, executive producers/directors Will Speck & Josh Gordon and co-executive producer and writer Joe Lawson.

I’ve already been offered $20 from one critic to ask, per my explosive breaking-news story, “When did you decide not to make this a comedy?” Were others to ratchet that figure up exponentially, I’d be tempted, but I figure that question will figure rather prominently in the proceedings this afternoon. Particularly in light of the cavemen break-dancing sequence.

Hence, I’ve decided to live-blog the “Cavemen” press conference. This will require a certain amount of wherewithal and discipline since, unlike the wonkette.com folks who live-blog Presidential debates and Bush press conferences or the defamer.com folks who live-blog awards shows, I’ll have to be doing this without the requisite 1.5-liter of Scotch necessitated by such soul-sapping events.

Nonetheless, tune in at 2:15 with your trigger finger poised on the “reload” icon. It should be fun. Or mortifying. Or both.
