No one to root for on that show, which seems like a problem. "The Office" had a-hole David/Michael as the protagonist, but also had Tim/Jim to root for.

That show always seemed like a great idea with nowhere to go and I think that's become obvious because each episode since the pilot has gotten progressively less funny.

The scene in the pilot where he makes fun of Castaway and then cuts immediately to him speaking to like 25 different balls by name was the payoff to the whole show. So funny, but everything after that has been worse.

At least Will Forte got a hot girlfriend out of it IRL.

I'm glad that we can all agree on LMOE.

Had suuuuuuuch high hopes for it.

At first i thought whats her name was the most annoying character, but man will forte has taken over as the most annoying.

Yeah....it's like.....[expletive] do something and make some sort of progress. I can't remember where they're getting water from, but....jesus, flush your [expletive] toilets. Toilets require very little to function, gravity and water being the main two both of which they have. Even if they needed electricity, they have gas, go get a big generator. Speaking of which, how do they get gas without electricity? Anyway, I digress.

The whole procreation situation is stupid. The episode wehre Phil tried to trick them or be all sly about knocking up both of them was stupid. Just lay out the facts. And, even now, he should focus on the logic of how swapping partners can produce the beginning of two family trees instead of one that are free of inbreeding into the grandchildren.

Instead it's jsut phil going around all butt hurt because he can't sleep with Melissa and spending all his time trying to devise these little passive aggressive ways to get in her pants when it's clear that's the last thing that is going to work which leads to more butthurt scheming.

I know the show is a comedy and not supposed to be tied to logic or a plotline, per se, but jeebus...put some sort of story in there other than... HAHA. Phil can't sleep with Melissa! It's funny because she's hotttt!!1 Look at all these stupid things he's doing because she's hott!1 Also, he's pooping in a pool and it stinks and he falls in!1 I for one am glad he fell in because he's a twit.

i'm kind of starting to like Carol, and obviously Melissa and Todd are cool. But, Phil [expletive] and moaning for 22 minutes or however long jsut gets old.

He might be the most annoying and one sided character on TV. It's gotten awful. Might have to stop watching it.

I wouldn't say I've given up on LMOE, mainly because I haven't, but the lack of any sympathetic character is a problem.

Watched "The Americans". Funny that in a show built around two murderous Soviet spies, the most unsympathetic character is douchey Pastor Tim. I really want Phillip to kill him.

How do you feel about the folks who go hunting through years of twitter in hopes of finding something embarrassing? They had to search through three years of this guy's tweets.

Neither here nor there, really. The vintage of his anti-semitic, woman-beating and fat-shaming tweets are less important to me than the fact he wrote them, thought them worthy of giving to the world and hit "send".

I don't think he should lose his job over this, but if you're putting something in public, don't be surprised when people pay attention to it, or have an opinion about it. By the line of reasoning you appear to be advancing, there'd be a lot of dead air in the average episode of "The Daily Show" when they go back years and years to find examples of politicians contradicting themselves, and so on.

I think so many of these recent problems are a combination of two things - that the internet isn't the anonymous playground it once was; and that "famous" people are still surprised that normal folks like you or I can take them down a peg or two. Especially with Patton Oswalt's awful argument, there's a whiff of "you normal comedy fans should KNOW. YOUR. PLACE." about it all.

A lot of what I've read about this has been disappointment, more than anger. The Daily Show means a lot to some people, and they're the ones who see that their beloved Jon Stewart is being replaced by a guy who feels confident enough in rotten opinions like this that he's fine with airing them in public.

Calling that show "Last Man On Earth" is like calling Friends "The Runaway Bride"

I'd think in that part of the world, that getting solar panels (camping shops sell them now, for heavens' sake) would be the way to go.
