The Last Man on Earth

Really?!? Well...okay then... Are the other shows just that amazingly bad that the bar is only set maybe 2 inches off the ground? :shrug:

I like the way they took their time "setting the table" and introducing characters one at a time. But I'm feeling like they need to go somewhere beyond Phil scheming to ingratiate himself with Melissa. Will Forte is great at that kind of obnoxious mugging, but enough already. Kristen Schaal, OTOH, can make me laugh with her delivery of pretty much any line.

I also wouldn't mind an explanation of how the millions of dead bodies were cleaned up, or who has been milking that cow all this time.
 
It would make some sense of going back to Tucson, the dry climate would have renderd most bodies into mummies, imagine th stink in Washington State or NY...
 
That's if every one died immediately in a week, there would be mountains of corpses.

If slowly the sick got sicker at different rates over the course of a year or two, with plenty of warning that death was on it's way, protocols could have been easily put in place.

"Clear a body, take their house"

The homeless would suddenly be dripping in homes, unless they all died first.
 
All the animals are dead too, I'm thinking. There are no birds, no cats, dogs, deer or fauna of any kind. Haven't seen any insects or smaller life forms at all. Likely they were so astonished to see this one cow.

Which begs the question - what virus could possibly jump across all living species on the planet so quickly? I suspect, however, that the writers likely didn't think such things all the way through for a half-hour comedy show.
 
Clearly, the cow contains some vital antibody that the four of them have. They're going to spend the rest of the series in a lab trying to isolate it and make a cure. NO MORE COMEDY!
 
Things started elevating slightly when he showed Blondie his collection of balls, though.

The only thing not completely terrible about these two episodes. I don't think I've ever seen a show go from a fairly funny/entertaining pilot to complete garbage this fast. I'm out.

Same. I gave up two weeks ago when the previews for last week's episodes aired. From the discussion here, sounds like I was not unwise.

They had a good and original premise that they've completely squandered by turning it into stupid sitcom love triangle hijinx...only annoying, and after the apocalypse.

When Carol said there would be no more meatballs I took it to mean all the cows were dead. But of course there are tens of thousands of cans of meatballs across the country. So no real limit until the cans start to deteriorate.
 
I was pleasantly surprised at the two recent episodes. Yes, Phil embarrassed the hell out of himself again but it lead to a few nice character moments for both Phil and Carol.

I'm going to be watching last three episodes with interest.
