Default FOX's "The Last Man On Earth" (Season 4)

So who watched the premiere last night? I really liked it and thought it was funny but I question the long-term potential of this show. It just doesn't seem like the show could last for multiple seasons. Regardless, I'll keep watching it and hope the ratings are decent.

I actually enjoyed this very much although not at the beginning of the show.
[Show spoiler]He was/is such a slob that I couldn't relate to him. Also the 'adventures' he goes on, again I couldn't get into it too much. But when he started breaking down and eventually finds his female counterpart, the show started to draw me in. I'm glad you posted this because I had forgot to set my DVR timer, thanks!

Good ratings last night for The Last Man on Earth, with both episodes getting a 2.3 rating, the highest for the night on any network. Numbers almost always drop after the first week but this is definitely a good start.

She was only on for a short time, but I really miss Alexandra Daddario.
Where are all the
[Show spoiler]dead bodies? And live or dead animals?
I hope these are answered, or at least inferred, later.
If we can't have Daddario back, I would prefer if Will Forte was actually alone. Those were my favorite parts of the show.

Hoping this is shown somewhere in the UK.

Btw, next episode is called The Elephant in the Room, so I'm figuring there will either be some form of explanation of what's happened, or more likely, they tackle the fact the show can't simply be just about Will Forte.

Default The Last Man on Earth (FOX) 2015 - Sunday Nights

Quote:
The Last Man on Earth is an American post-apocalyptic comedy television series created by Will Forte. The series premiered on the American broadcast network Fox on March 1, 2015. The pilot episode was written by Forte and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
Quote:
The show originated from the writing team of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who had the idea initially for a feature film. They approached longtime collaborator and former Saturday Night Live cast member Will Forte with the premise, who "took a spark to it and took it in his own direction," according to Miller. He was partially inspired by the series Life After People. "I love comedy where there's a lot of tension and even though it's very far-fetched, it seems very relate-able," said Forte of the premise. Forte's treatment for the series, crafted over a weekend, was pitched around Hollywood to positive responses. They mainly pitched to cable and Internet services, as Forte believed a broadcast network would be stricter on content. In their pitch, much of the outline of the series' first season was formulated. Fox, the show's eventual distributor, was instead doing "something different" and specific to his vision, according to Miller.

Quote:
Forte spoke on the show's creative freedom in a 2015 interview:
I think we always saw this as more of a cable show, to be honest. They claimed from the get-go that they didn't want to change the tone of the show, and I think I went in with an eyebrow raised, thinking, okay, well when's it going to come out that we have to change it around? And they were great. They stuck by their pledge and let us make this different type of show. We're so happy to have had this experience. It was just a great, great experience with Fox.
Filming the series was challenging. For example, maintaining silence and not picking up sounds of cars in the distance made it difficult. In addition to Forte's fascination with Life After People, similar films bandied about while writing the show included The Omega Man, I am Legend, and 28 Days Later. Fox particularly appreciated the heart of the story, with its universal theme. According to Lord, "We always talked about that this is a person who is very flawed, and a person who maybe needed the entire world to end in order for him to become his best self. That was our big thought, well here’s a guy who maybe he wasn’t the best guy in the regular world, but if you took the regular world away, could he eventually get back to being the person that all of us hope that we can be."
Episodes:
1x01 - Mar 01, 2015 - Alive in Tucson
1x02 - Mar 01, 2015 - The Elephant in the Room
1x03 - Mar 08, 2015 - Raisin Balls and Wedding Bells
1x04 - Mar 15, 2015 - Sweet Melissa
1x05 - Mar 22, 2015 - Dunk the Skunk
1x06 - Mar 22, 2015 - Some Friggin' Fat Dude
1x07 - TBA - Adam and Eve... and Andrew
1x08 - TBA - Ignite the Spark
1x09 - TBA - All She Wants to Do Is Todd




Did anyone watch this?
I found it quite funny!
Also, I didn't know Kristen Schaal was in it, so bonus points to the show for her being in it!

I just head into the main page of a forum, see what's there, go a page r two in and see if I want to join any discussion.

Usually though, I hang out in my "User CP" section... That shows me new posts in threads I'm subscribed to.

Anybody with doubts that Will Forte's one-man act couldn't draw a crowd can put theory to rest. Sunday's one-hour premiere of The Last Man on Earth debuted surprisingly well with an average 2.3 rating among adults 18-49 and 5.7 million viewers.

At first, i actually didn't really have interest to watch it. But i think it gets interesting so i decide to keep watching. Hopefully, the ratings gets higher and manage to maintain its rating in the next episode.
