I say you make the cavemen members of the idle rich, heirs to a vast stone quarry fortune. Then they can say pompous stuff like "You don't know the history of Brie!" and complain about the British royals being new money.

I would actually watch that show, which guarantees it would suffer low ratings, get jerked around on the schedule, and eventually get prematurely canceled despite critical acclaim and multiple Emmies.

There is actually a Dodger rookie pitcher that is owner of a stone quarry that is under some farmland that he bought from an ageing aunt. The rock wasn't discovered until he tried to work the land and estimates of the value run into the 100's of millions of dollars.

Dodgers Pitcher Could Be a Billionaire

VERO BEACH, Fla. -- Matt White, a journeyman pitcher trying to make the Los Angeles Dodgers, could become baseball's first billionaire player.

It has nothing to do with his arm. He owns a rock quarry in western Massachusetts.

White, who has appeared in seven big league games in nine professional seasons, paid $50,000 three years ago to buy 50 acres of land from an elderly aunt who needed the money to pay for a nursing home.

While clearing out a couple acres to build a home, he discovered stone ledges in the ground, prompting him to have the property surveyed.

A geologist estimated there were 24 million tons of the stone on his land. The stone is being sold for upward of $100 per ton, meaning there's well over $2 billion worth of material used for sidewalks, patios and the like.

Is he a caveman? Has he sold the rights to his story yet? Does he solve mysteries?

[remdog]

Apparently, he still has to solve the mystery of missing bats.

You'd have to have a guest appearance by their distant cousin Steve Stone

Or they could be members of a "rock" band.

[Ltlabner]

He forms an intergalactic rock band and ends up flying through space solving mysteries and helping aliens find love.

And in his spare time counsels Tommy Lasorda in the ways of women and love.
