First there was Phil Miller (Will Forte) – alone, suicidal, talking to balls. Then there was Carol (Kristen Schaal) – optimistic, quirky, naggy. Melissa (January Jones) was next – gorgeous, down-to-earth, cool. And in last week’s back-to-back episodes, “Dunk the Skunk” and “Some Friggin’ Fat Guy”, Todd shows up – kind, sincere, and friendly. Melissa and Todd immediately click, which drives Phil nuts. He was this close to getting Melissa in bed and it was his guitar fireworks, designed to impress her, that caused Todd to turn his car around and find them. Just in the nick of time. Melissa and Todd’s date orchestrated by Carol was adorable with mini-golf and a jellybean fight.

If you are not up to date with The Last Man on Earth, do not venture any further. Spoilers!

Phil (Will Forte) and Carol (Kristen Schaal) had just gotten married and were in the “honeymoon” phase. No, really. She started showing that she can have weird fun too (we kinda knew she was capable). They were getting along smashingly, and then Phil plowed the car into a moving limo driven by Melissa (January Jones). She thinks the couple is spacey and weird, even for the-world-has-ended standards, but starts to like their quirks towards the end of the “Sweet Melissa” episode. These two do grow on you.

We are now up to our third week and 4th episode of Will Forte‘s new vehicle The Last Man on Earth and we’ve seen a plethora of wish fulfillment, criminal acts, and gross hygiene habits one might partake of/in if he/she were the last man/woman on Earth. There were margarita and toilet pools, stolen fine art, bowling with cars, shooting open doors, and stealing the Oval Office rug in Episode 1.1 “Alive in Tucson”and 1.2 “the Elephant in the Room”. Then he met Carol (Kristen Schaal), who made him marry her before they could start on the repopulating. In Episode 1.3 “Raisin Balls and Wedding Bells,” Phil and Carol really start to get along as she was kind of a trooper and participated in his weird hobbies.

So what did you think of the premiere of FOX’s new comedy The Last Man on Earth? Weird, right? Not sure how you felt about it – was a little sad, a little funny, and ripe with possibilities?

Yeah… me too.

Spoilers!

The Last Man on Earth 1.1 “Alive in Tucson” is the first half hour of this new series created by Will Forte (Saturday Night Live), followed seamlessly by 1.2 “The Elephant in the Room.”

There will be a couple of spoilers below so tread carefully!

Although a comedy, The Last Man on Earth is a very, very dark show with lighthearted moments. How can it not be when there seems to be no one else alive, at least in the United States (there is a crossing out of states in the opening scene).
