Though Billy was an adult, he had the equivalent education of a 5th grader and manages to outwit his far more educated opponent. Caveman is just another "fish out of water" show. Its been done a thousand times with aliens, robot kids, or even just the foreigner trying to fit in to American culture. Hardly new ideas.

Name one show that has come out in the last 5 years that was never done before?

Hey Rodney,

I wasn’t directly giving the comparison from shawshank and prison break-
I was just showing that I noticed that Fox takes ideas that were once movies and turning them into TV series…and I wouldn’t doubt that Survivor and Gilligan’s somehow influenced Lost…

Shawshank isn't exactly the first movie to involve a prison break. And Shawshank isn't really about breaking out of prison, that was just the conclusion. And RatRace wasn't the first to do a cross country race. CannonBall Run (and CannonBall Run 2) were doing this long before the reality show Amazing Race did it. Then came drive. That is like comparing Lost to Gilligan's Island, Survivor or Swiss Family Robinson. And turn on Life Network. Half the shows there are about Weddings. I was nearly on one. MrBlonde, I have to disagree with your comparison.

Doesn’t it seem that fox takes an idea from a movie-and then turn it somehow into a TV series…Well lets take a look:

Shawshank Redemption-Innocent murder convict escapes prison-Prison Break
Rat Race- A group of people race to get to a bunch of money-Drive

There’s another one but I forget what its called- but the theme is something like My Best Friend’s Wedding where the show is centered on brides and their wedding…it had Ben Stiller’s girlfriend in Meet the Parents…this may of been cancelled..

Though Prison Break requires some suspension of disbelieve (ala 24), it is very entertaining, has good character development, and at times honestly suspenseful. I'm very interested in seeing how this one turns out, especially since it is not a Hollywood production. This ought to be interesting.
