What if there was a virus that took out the whole world’s population and you were The Last Man on Earth? If you are Phil Miller (Will Forte) you make the best of it starting at 9p on Fox tonight!
It is the year 2020 and every breathing thing has been wiped out by a virus, except for one man. For the last two years, he has traveled across the United States of America looking for any other signs of life to no avail. Finally, he returns to his hometown of Tuscon, Az and settles into the nicest and biggest house he can find. He decorates it with some of the items he picked up on tour of the US, like the Presidential seal from the White House, priceless paintings, Oscars and Hugh Hefner’s PJs. At first he is OK with being alone, but as time goes on he gets lonely. How many stores can you ransack? How many cars can you destroy? How many days can you walk around in your underwear without anyone caring before it becomes too much to handle?
He eventually makes himself some friends out of sports balls, but soon they are not enough for him. After his wishing and hoping doesn’t grant him another human being, preferably a woman, he decides to end it all.
Will there be no people left on Earth? Will he finally get his wish?
We will have to tune into this witty comedy that makes the apocalypse fun(ny).
When I first heard about The Last Man on Earth, I thought it was going to totally suck. I was completely surprised by how much I truly enjoy it. Forte is the perfect man to be the only survivor because he is your every day man. If a NASA Scientist or a politician were the only survivors, then this show would not be worth wasting your time. But a 41 year old former temp who never grew up makes this comedy a must watch every Sunday, starting next week at 9:30p and tonight at 9p.
