Interesting show. Not quite what I thought it was going to be and I'm not sure how I feel about that twist but I'll keep watching it.

I've always like Forte. I stopped watching comedies about 10 years ago but I'll stick with this for a while.

He hasn't done it for a long time but had a recurring role on Conan's show as Ted Turner riding into the studio on a stuffed buffalo.
It was a pretty funny bit where he would insult everyone in the studio and talk to the buffalo named Teddy Jr.

It was funny. Lots of montages. Interesting concept, would of expected an animal or two running around...

I liked some of it. Part of watching it triggers "Depression" in me. I don't know if I could explain why.

I was thinking, while it sucks that you're all alone. It would be cool to drive across the country, pick off some cool stuff from the white house, art museums, sports hall of fames. Or just see cool shit. Like I would try to find the stuff in the white house that's not shown to america.

You could also nab some of the finest wines like he did. You'll never run out of booze. That never goes bad. And it's all over America. Of course, that gets old. But I liked how they portrayed him as doing so.

Don't know if I'll stick with it.

I was also thinking, if this happened in the winter, I would have gathered up some of the meat in the restaurants and buried in Minnesota or Chicago. Drove back to Arizona and went back to Chicago to get it in the spring so you can have nice a nice meal. Cuz they wouldn't have good meat after that first winter. He SHOULD HAVE BURIED GOOD STEAKS FROM GOOD RESTAURANTS IN A COLD CITY.

Then again, I don't know the timeline. But that's what I would do if this happened in the winter and I survived.

liking this show so far. Love the January Jones reveal and then the fade to credits with "starring January Jones".

Fuck.

I know they're going for comedy with this epic situation. You'd like to suspend disbelief. BUT YOU CAN"T.

THIS EPISODE MADE THE SHOW STUPID. And it will continue on this path.

Somebody could have written it better. Comedy with this? Fine. I'm cool with that. Include that. But let's put some "REAL" to it. LET'S NOT WRITE THE CHARACTERS WHERE THEY"RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ONE LINERS WHEN THEY"RE THE LAST PEOPLE ON EARTH.

I'll continue to DVR it and hate watch it. At least for the first season. Thank God it's only half hour shows.

dude, you have serious issue. Its a sit com dummy. Stop watching if you seriously have issues with it not being "real" enough.

I've been watching this.
It's been god so far, IMO - but WAY too many huge plot twists in a short amount of time. This thing has a short shelf life.

My son and I felt like the last men on earth when we went to see Macgruber.

I think we both enjoyed it though. Forte is weird and offbeat,but I like that kind of humor. He was beautiful on 30 Rock! :lol:
