As an independent agent I am tickled to death everytime I see one of their commercials. You can not turn on the TV without seeing a GEICO advertisement. Even when I watch a hockey game I see their name on the boards. They are paying more in advertisement $$$$ then it would cost them to sell through agents. They are cutting out the middle man in exchange for high advertisement costs. After all, if you do not have agents peddling your product you have to get the name out somehow. I like the commercials. They make me laugh. However, it is sad that they are turning such a complicated product into a commodity. That is the true error on their part.

Back to subject...I do not think the show will be successful. Sounds pretty stupid.
