What do you think? Do you like The Last Man on Earth sitcom? Are you glad that it will be returing next season?
My wife and I really enjoy the show. Waiting for season 2 but would like a little more action. Funny show!!
I absolutely love this show. It is hilarious. I watch it every week and get a lot of laughs. I hope it gets a nod for a few more seasons.
My husband and I love this show and always schedule it on our DVR. Would love to see a season 3.
YES, YES, YES!!! Yeay, Woot Woot, High Five and Happy Dance!!! We are so excited that Last Man on Earth is coming back!!! We really look forward to watching this show on Sunday nights. My husband couldn’t wait to get home to tell me that he had learned that Last Man on Earth was coming back to the Fall line-up. Thanks Guys
P.S. We don’t even care that there are not dead people everywhere, although that was a great observation by Laura B.
Yay!! This is my families FAVORITE
MORE!!!
Thanks, glad it was renewed. Please allow Phil to act a bit older than a 10 yr old though. It was the 1 irritating thing about his character. Example…getting mad at Carol for painting in a cat of a priceless art piece then allowing him to pitch paint bombs on his front foyer wall and another painting.
TO FOX EXECS—THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU (AD INFINITUM).
TO WILL FORTE AND THE CAST:
THIS SHOW IS SO DAM BRILLIANT, SO DAM FUNNY, SO DAM RIGHT-ON RE THE HUMAN RACE, WELL, I remain yours in AWE.
You need to run the whole thing again several times and give people a chance to get totally hooked. This show had such SUPERB competition its amazing I ever found it, but Will is a comic wonder so I followed him to the funniest show ever made! Yeah, for real.
Love the Last Man on Earth, can’t wait for season 2. My only gripe is I wish they were hour long episodes. By far the most creative show on tv.
so brilliant, so absolutely brilliant, and the timing of the dialogue delivery is something not often seen, or done, by mere mortals. But then I am one of the worst addicted humor junkies on earth, with so little truly funny comedy anywhere—EXCEPT ON IFC!
Comedy Bang Bang, Portlandia, one or two others, but Last Man is brilliant to the 10th power. I literally explode into howling laughter that probably scares the neighbors if they hear it….
The last few episodes were frustrating. He never catches any breaks & every1 is mean 2 him. And why does Carol correct Tandy’s speech but not Phil’s? The ending was great! I’m glad it got renewed but plz don’t punish the central character every episode!
The biggest flaw is that there are not dead bodies everywhere. Who cleaned up? I do enjoy watching this though, because you can be totally brainless and not have to think. haha
EXACTLY! I have been wondering that myself. What kind of catastrophe would leave all the roads and highways free of cars, and the world free of dead bodies?? And where are the animals? All we’ve seen is one cow. I for one want to know what the hell happened. That mystery is the very worst thing about this show.
This show is my favorite! I love Carol best character on the show.
I LOVE THIS SHOW! Great casting and I love the simple adventures of each episode! Fun to watch! We need more….please!
Thanks for not canceling Last Man on Earth, LOVE the show !!
So Happy they are not canceling this Series I Love it, Thank You
