The Last Man on Earth
 
Has anyone seen Fox's short season comedy that debuted in March? It stars SNL alum Will Forte. Never cared much for him he came across as whinny and bland without any character or sketch that stood out. As a co-writer of this absurd comedic take on post-apocalyptic near future. Something that has not really been done before. The last resident of Tuscan spray paints "alive in Tuscan" on billboards to draw people to him. Six other people gradually arrive. January Jones and Mary Streebergen are among them. The first to arrive is Carol, who wants to continue the population thus wants Phil to marry her. Just after that January Jones's character shows up and of course Phil wants her instead. The guy cant catch a break. Just as he go permission to procreate with Melissa a second man shows up taking away from the title. In the end there are 7 people. The last to arrive Phil's opposite number who happens to also be Phil Miller played by Boris Kodjoe.
Spoiler:
Kodjoe's Phil kicks Forte's Phil out of Tuscan. Carol joins him heading tentatively to Houston.
We also find out Forte has a brother who is still alive trapped in space played by Jason Sudeikis.

Anyone else watching this? I cannot stop laughing at the last idiots on Earth.

Not sure what I think. I mean, Forte's Miller is just such a complete jerk, that he has no redeeming value.

Using his pool as a toilet clued me in on that but Boris's Phil proved to be a bigger jerk leaving Phil in the desert. Phil attempted to do so with Todd but could not go through with it. Having you seen all 13 episodes? I don't know why he would want Carol especially after he fling with black Phil but through her he seems to have hints of it.

Agreed. I tried giving it a chance but he's incredibly unlikable. The way he started acting when the second chick showed was just uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. I had to give up.

I've watched 12 of them. Didn't watch the last episode.Only just saw the episodes where Other Phil showed up.

What can I say, I'm a gluten for punishment.

You really spoiled like the whole season before even hiding a spoiler...

I love Forte, love his comedy, he gets a laugh from me everytime he says "friggin", and I don't care about his character being redeeming, he's hilarious. The show is really good too.

Nah. Some, sure. Its just to spike interest. The prospect seems limited especially trying to keep the population down, but its even the small stuff make me laugh.
Spoiler:
Its not like called him Tandy Miller.:P

Part of the fun of the show is the characters slowly arriving...you spoiled it all...I'm not mad, I've seen all the eps, just saying a lot of the enjoyment of the show might be gone if you haven't seen it and read your post.

I wonder if there will be a season 2.
Spoiler:
Maybe Carol and Phil can make a new life and Phil won't be so insufferable anymore.

Isn't the point supposed to be that you don't like Phil? I enjoy seeing him caught in his schemes and everyone calling him out on his BS.

Purse Grabbin Puke 05-05-2015 03:53 PM

His character loved being alone, you can see now why that is, he probably could never make any friends. He just wished there was a woman around so he could hook up with her. But ultimately Phil isn't good with people. I can see season 2 being him and carol running into other people and annoying them too.

I am hoping for some character growth and it will by the end of the upcoming season he becomes more of the leader he wants to be instead of a complete jerk and idiot out for himself. Maybe get back at Boris's Phil.

Whil season 2 is not even in script form yet...
Spoiler:
Will did say the five other will be checked on as all of seeing a few season with his brother the last man in space. How much time Sudekis gets depends on his movie schedule and scripts will work around it but he is ultimately going to make it back to Earth at some point.

MikeandRaph87 10-05-2015 09:27 PM

This time Last Man On Earth is back for a full season. We pick up with the duo traveling and even rooming in the White House briefly. Anyone catch the second episode ending? This show is so stupid its hilarious.
