ABC does the unthinkable...

ABC has done it. They have actually picked up “Cavemen,” the sitcom based on the GEICO commercials, even though some who have seen it say it’s terrible.

As I’ve said before, no one’s ever accused ABC of doing the right thing, and they didn’t this time—especially since it looks like they’ve cancelled “In Case of Emergency” to make room for it.

ABC has also renewed “Notes From the Underbelly” for a 13-episode season that will probably start next spring…

The good news is that “Knights of Prosperity” will reportedly return as well, with the unseen Ray Romano episodes serving as a new launching point for the show…

ABC has picked up seven new dramas: “Dirty Sexy Money,” starring Peter Krause and Donald Sutherland in a “Dynasty”-like soap; “Eli Stone” about a man who believes he may be a prophet; “Private Practice,” the “Grey’s Anatomy” spin-off starring Kate Walsh; “Pushing Daisies,” which is about a man who discovers he can resurrect the dead by touching them; “Big Shots,” which follows a group of male CEOs and stars Dylan McDermott, Michael Vartan, Christopher Titus and Joshua Molina; “Women’s Murder Club,” which is based on the James Patterson novels; and “Cashmere Mafia,” which stars Lucy Liu and follows thirty-something women in New York. If “Cashmere” sounds familiar, it should since it’s from “Sex and the City” guru Darren Star. In fact, “Sex and the City” author Candace Bushnell has accused Star of helping her develop NBC’s “Lipstick Jungle” and then selling it to ABC as “Cashmere”…

In addition to “Cavemen,” ABC has picked up the comedies, “Sam I Am,” starring Christina Applegate as an amnesiac and “Carpoolers,” which follows the lives of a group of men who carpool together.

ABC officially announces its schedule Tuesday…
