There's LOTS of great buzz about the Will Forte comedy, The Last Man On Earth. I haven't watched it yet, but it's not the first time Fox has attempted this concept before:

I watched it, not sure what to think. I've been saying for months that he'll need to eventually find somebody else or a group of people otherwise the show's concept just won't work over the long haul, but I didn't expect that to happen before the first episode had even finished. Also, I really don't like Kristen Schaal so her being so heavily involved in the series also doesn't help its case for me. That being said, the concept is too strange not to watch. I want to know why there aren't bodies littering the streets. It's like Forte and Schaal were removed and plucked into another dimension; the houses and buildings are still there but outside of a few cars parked (properly) in front of houses it's like the whole place was just abandoned. No signs of looting or rioting, no bodies, no cars just sitting randomly in the street or in front of the hardware store they went to for example, etc.
I need to know more, so I'll stick around at least for the next few episodes.

It wasn't bad. I'm just not sure how long they can make the show last.

I'm just not sure how long they can make the show last. That has been an issue with a lot of TV shows lately. Writers and producers don't think long-term anymore. It's probably because most TV shows don't last longer than 100 episodes these days.

Where do they even go with this? I enjoyed it, but if this lasts more than one season I would be shocked.

I was ...bored. There were some good moments but overall I'm underwhelmed.

Just watched the premiere and I enjoyed it very much. Even if it only last a seasons or two I will hang in there. The back and forth between Schaal and Forte is great. Forte really deserves a show and I believe he can carry it for a while. I love most of his work, especially his bits on Tim and Eric.

I am loving it. I can honestly see myself doing some of the dumb shit he does if I were in that position. Toilet pool being the one thing for sure I would do.

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH is a new single-camera comedy about the life and adventures of the last man on earth. PHIL MILLER (Forte) was once just an average guy who loved his family and hated his job at the bank - now he's humanity's last hope. Will he ever find another person alive on the planet? Would hoping that she is a female be asking too much? I am enjoying this show, it is pretty funny.

Welcome to the boards Apple.
I agree. Still liking the show. I am hoping the develop Phil's character a little more though. If he stays the same, jerkish guy throughout it will get old a little too fast.

Well have not seen tonight's episode but still the same Phil. Total jerk the whole show. Maybe after last weeks episode things will change. Next week is this season's finale, I am not holding my breath for a season 2.
