Last Man On Earth: The show about which whom we should talk [SPOILERS, so to speak]

So what if you were, as far as you knew, the last man on earth after surviving a global plague? And what if, one day, after endless searching, you find the last woman on earth?
And what if you kinda hated her?
Will Forte and Kristen Schaal are the man and woman in question, and the show is called, wait for it... The Last Man On Earth.
A sitcom with a cast of two (and for most of the pilot, a cast of one) sounds like a ridiculous, impossible concept. Oh, by the way, it's being directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, whose resume consists entirely of taking impossible, terrible ideas and making them completely amazing.
There have been three episodes thus far, of which I've watched two, and it's pretty damned great,alternately bleak, hopeful, touching, depressing, and generally hilarious. Forte and Schaal are perfectly cast, both of them managing to appear their own brands of insane while also remaining sympathetic even in the midst of their crazy.
It's on Fox, Sunday nights. You should watch it. Because about it you would feel bad if for you were to miss.

I'm going to try and watch ep 3 tonight.
nice touch, I appreciated it.
the show is quite good. Forte & Schaal play off each other amazingly. I would recommend to anyone looking for something to watch.

Also, holy crap do you feel for Forte at the end of the third episode. I very nearly died from laughter at the absurdity of the situation.
This whole show is like the Scott Pilgrim movie - it's absurdity masking an honest look at relationships.
This is the story of a guy who settles for a girl out of convenience and then starts to immediately regret it. This is long term relationship/marriage hell for some people taken to the "last two people on the face of the planet" level.
It's smart when you get past the margarita pool or fountain toilet.
It's also one of the few shows that reverberates on my exact humor vibe. It's on fox... so it will be of course cancelled right when I get other people to watch it.
Honestly, I was expecting the show to just be about Phil and Carol for an episode or two more.

I love the continued mileage out of the "what awesome things would you do if you were the only person in the world" bits.
I would be all over that flame thrower. I would flame thrower fucking everything. For science.
I actually wish (and are surprised) they didn't drag the premise of the first episode for a few more.
Kristen Schaal is perfect for me in this role, because I normally can't stand her, but that's kinda the point here.
Also, yeah, him travelling (and looting!) the country only to come back to Tuscon seems a little dim. With no resources or power, you should think about moving to a temperate area near a body of water.
Memphis. Memphis would be a good place to move to. Ample fishing in the river, lots of wood for fuel, far enough inland from hurricanes, plenty of rain for farming, decent summers and winters.
Memphis is kind of a shithole. You aren't going to be doing much fishing in the Mississipi in Memphis. No hurricanes, but I hope you like tornadoes! Also humidity. You like humidity? And mosquitos? The summer Colorado 100 degree heat is waaaaay better than the 90 degree 90% humidity heat in Memphis. Having grown up there, not a fan.
This show seems interesting and I will be adding it to my list of stuff to check out.
And I mean, with the way he dealt with the plumbing situation it's also clear he's not going to let some slight incovenience keep him from staying.
no spoiler tags pls.
there really isn't anything for people that do not watch the show to discuss, so why would they click on this thread?
PHIL CONTINUES TO POOP IN A HOLE
CAROL IS STILL GODDAMN CRAZY
They'll divide up Tucson into thirds and paint big white dividing lines across the county.
I have not seen the third episode, but I have faith in them that they won't just take the easy way.
If January has any interest in helping out the whole repopulation thing, he's a shoo-in.
If so, that means January Jones' character is a lesbian.
Previews show her saying she is "really horny" and it looks like she is talking to Phil
That could be a misdirect, though.
I'm guessing they don't know each other. The sign thing was a pretty clever device to get new folks dribbling into the show on occasion.
It would be kinda funny if "The Last Man On Earth" was taken literally, and women keep showing up. I wonder when Phil being "president" is going to play into the story.
And Carol was supposed to meet up someplace else, then she found Phil and decided to stay there and do the whole "get married" thing - lying to Phil the whole time. That could be good tension.
