Tentatively excited. I hope they stay away from aliens, but I don't think that's too likely.

Todd's awesome. Last Man on Earth dragged through episodes 2 and 3, IMO, but picked up with 4.

Todd is cool. But Will Forte's character needs to back off. He's soooo unlikeable w/ the whole faking his favorite movie, fat jokes, etc....

It didn't quite balance right when he had his sane guy moment at the end of the episode. But that's a first season problem they might work out. Remember the first year of Parks and Rec? The MO seemed to be let's start with you as a female Michael Scott and we'll figure it out. And they did, very well.

Also we know once and for all that January Jones can do a perfectly good job acting like a normal human being. I like her on Mad Men, but I think her character isn't well understood by the writers, and I honestly wasn't sure whether she was a bad actress or not. Despite having a handful of really good episodes. Her X-Men role didn't demand much either.

That "fat Betty" period was really lame, and so much of the time she's playing what appears to be a shallow ex-model with awful parenting skills. Which is sort of what she is, or they made her out to be. I hoped to see more of the Betty that stood on the back lawn shooting pigeons, but they seemed to backtrack on that completely. The episode at Bobby's camp was another standout.

finally was able to watch this weeks LAST MAN ON EARTH and i just dont know.

will forte is starting to get on my nerves and this is after whats her name has made the show pretty irritating to watch. January Jones has made it tolerable, but it's starting to turn into a ben stiller movie every week.

Are they just gonna keep adding people? Like i get it would get pretty boring if it was just will forte trolling around but if they are gonna keep adding characters, it's gonna get out of hand.

I'll give it a couple more weeks i suppose. Just kind of disappointing since i had such high hopes.

Coach is getting a reboot. Yup, that Coach with Craig T. Nelson. Were there people asking for this?

I loved Coach... well, I enjoyed Coach enough not to turn it off since we never had Cable.

Unless this is a gritty reboot where it's discovered that Luther molested a bunch of kids and Dauber and Coach covered it up to protect their legacy and business interests, I don't know why they're doing this.
