Game of Thrones is on hiatus for a really long time, but The Simpsons is back on Fox tonight and every Sunday at 8p. Not only will that give you something to do until that other show comes back, but tonight on the season premiere they merge both shows. That’s right they pay homage to the show with dinosaurs. When Marge’s mom (who knew she was still alive) gets sick, Lisa and Homer need to find an amulet to make her better. The older Simpson daughter needs to use her magic in a place where you cannot use it. What will she do? You will have to tune into a show that a 25 is just as good as its first and tenth and 17th season.
Then at 8:30p, Adam Scott and Craig Robinson are recruited to investigate the paranormal on Ghosted. Recruited is the wrong word, kidnapped from the jobs they do not want to be at, are the right ones. Leo Wright (Robinson) is a former LAPD cop, who was the best missing person’s investigator, until his partner was killed. Now he is a mall cop. Max Jennifer (Scott) was a Harvard professor, who wrote a book about the multiverse, and he lost his job when everyone thought he was crazy because he believes his wife was abducted. He works at book store to make ends meet.
Their lives are about to change when an agent in Bureau Underground, who investigate the paranormal and anything outside the science realm, goes missing. Before he did, he recorded a video and told his co-workers to find Wright and Jennifer to help locate him. Now, they are brought in to find him. What will they find out?
Think of this like a lifelike version of Scooby Doo, but with adults, no van and no dog. It is a lot of fun because it brings together two actors who work perfectly together. As long as you do not remember they did Hot Tub Time Machine 2 2gether!

Finally at 9:30p, The Last Man on Earth is back. But they are not on solid earth, instead they are on boat trying to escape the nuclear cloud that is coming their way.
The episode picks up where it left off, with Pamela Brinton (Kristen Wiig) just shooting Pat (Mark Boone Junior). She is not alone, she has a special A-List guest star with her. Because what would a season premiere be without one shocking(ly awesome) cameo?
Once they get rid of Pat, it is time for Pamela, Tandy (Will Forte), Carol (Kristen Schaal), Melissa (January Jones), Todd (Mel Rodriguez), Erica (Cleopatra Coleman) and her newborn, Gail (Mary Steenburgen) and Jasper (Keith L. Williams) to hit the high seas. They are on their way to Mexico and it looks like it will be smooth sailing. That is until, they think they are anchored in for the night, but they are not. Now they have no idea where they are after floating all night long. Where will their adventure take us?
We will have to tune in every week for a show that finds a way to surprise us in every episode. Whether it be a death, a cameo or a twist you never saw coming. LMOE is one of the most brilliant and enjoyable shows on television and more of you should be watching this gem!
The Last Man on Earth will not be back with all-new episodes on Fox until October 1, but yesterday they released a behind-the-scenes photo from the season premiere. In the still everyone is in an inflatable raft, but one person. That person is the last man on Earth. So where is Will Forte? We do not know. That means we have to wait a long month and a half to learn the truth. We also will have to wait to find out why they are lost at sea in a raft and not on the nice yacht they boarded. October cannot come soon enough.
Tonight’s The Last Man On Earth’s season finale is so good, they couldn’t tell it in a half hour. Therefore, it is an hour long and starts at 9p on Fox.
Ever since the first season, Carol (Kristen Schaal) has wanted to continue humankind, after a virus nearly wiped out all of the population, by having babies with Tandy (Will Forte) aka Phil Miller. While they had a lot of sex, Erica (Cleopatra Coleman) was the first to get pregnant by the other Phil Miller, who is no longer with us. On tonight’s season finale, it is finally time for the first baby after the extremely deadly virus to be born.
Since there are just a pinky fingernail full of people left on Earth, there are no doctors there to help her. Gail (Mary Steenburgen) and Todd (Mel Rodriguez) have done as much research as they can but they do not really know anything about birthing no babies. As the moment gets closer, they run into a problem that makes her labor a lot more complicated than they thought. Will she live to see her baby? Will we have the first baby on Earth?
How does hearing Erica’s screaming effect the other mother-to-be Carol? She is days away from having her baby and she will be in the same boat as Erica. She is scared and is hiding from it all in her little house.
She is not the only one having problems with Erica’s difficult birthing experience, so is little Jasper (Keith L. Williams). Melissa (January Jones) tells Tandy to take him to the park to get away from the tense atmosphere. The two boys (let’s be honest, Tandy is a big boy) go to the waterless water park and have some fun. Until they see something that has them say, “Oh farts.”
And that leads us into the second part of the season finale that will completely blow you away and saying, “Oh farts,” a lot, but I can’t tell you why. I want to because it is oh so good, but it will ruin the set up for next season.
And on that note, Fox why haven’t you picked it up for a 4th season already. It is doing better than all of your other comedies. Not only in ratings, but also in creativity and heart. While most end of the world shows are all about people against people, LMOE is about people getting together with people. I want to believe if faced with our worst crisis, we will become better people for it and this is the only show that does. Plus, it makes us laugh! How can you not fall in love with Will Forte. His character is the most lovable one on television. I want a Tandy Miller all for myself.
If you do not know why I am saying that, then tune in to The Last Man on Earth tonight at 9p on Fox and catch up on the other episodes on Hulu. It is the best sitcom you are not watching and you should be tuning in.
Will Forte told Seth Meyers on Late Night that his family and his The Last Man on Earth castmates have given him a nickname and it is Uncle Stinky? Why? Well one day when his niece and nephew came to visit him, he farted around them and they noticed the smell. Ever since then they added stinky to his title. Something he will never get rid because farting is always funny to kids even when they become adults.
So much so, his co-star Mary Steenburgen challenged him to fart every day he is on the set of hilarious Fox comedy. He accepted her challenge, but it has one big rule. They cannot be silent but deadly, you actually have to hear the bomb go off and not just breath in the fumes. Did he succeed? Yes, but sadly for the noses on the set there were some misses.
And folks, that is why he is known as Uncle Stinky. You know, I am thinking he should change the O in his last name to an A. What do you think of that idea?
One last note, the best part of this funny interview because farts are always funny, is when the NBC late night host asked him, “How do you do it?” Without hesitation Farte, I mean Forte, told him, “Out of my butt!” Know we know why Last Man on Earth is as brilliant as it is because the creator is naturally that way. Maybe he will do an episode about his farting? Although, if he did, he might once again become the last man on Earth.
The Last Man on Earth returned yesterday after its winter break with a triumph episode starring pretty much just Kristen Wiig giving a brilliant performance. Yet, there was one scene that has left everyone talking about it.
The Fox sitcom takes place in the future, and yesterday’s episode took place around 2020. During that time, the 46th President of the United States Mike Pence rules America. When and how he took over from 45 we don’t know, but what we do know is that he dies from the virus that is quickly wiping out almost all of the World’s population. Since it is killing everyone in its path, we also lost POTUS 47 Paul Davis Ryan, Jr, POTUS 48 Rex Wayne Tillerson, POTUS 49 Steven Terner Mnuchin, POTUS 50 Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III and POTUS 51 Betsy DeVos. I guess that is proof that 45 really will kill us all.
Crap they just took a hilariously funny moment and made me just want to go ball up into a fetal position and cry until there is nothing left to cry.
No seriously, if you are not watching The Last Man on Earth, you are missing out on one of the funniest shows on television that is full of heart. A lot of heart and that is why I love it so much. While most of Apocalyptic shows, end up with it being about humans vs humans like The Walking Dead, Z Nation and Leftovers, on LMOE the surviving human become a family. That is why I get bored with all of those Zombie dramas, which are no longer about people vs the Undead. Instead, they are about survivors battling it out with other survivors. How can humankind survive that? You know what I mean. I want to believe if there were only a few of us left, we would get along and not try to kill each other. Just like on Last Man where the nerdy dude gets to procreate with almost all of the last women on Earth. A tough job, but somebody has to do it. I said, ‘do it!’
On that note since that is Tandy’s (Will Forte) humor, I will once again implore you to watch The Last Man on Earth every Sunday at 9:30p on Fox!
