"I can't remember the last time I watched a half-hour sitcom and thought, 'I've never seen anything like this,'" says Tim Goodman, adding: "Above and beyond all the joy I got from watching the first three episodes of The Last Man On Earth, it was the frame of mind the series put me in that was really memorable. I watched the first one and then simply paused it and tried to remember the last time I felt struck hard by such originality or witnessed such a significant deviation from the safe comedic norm of television." PLUS: Forte turns in a "Bill Murray-esque" performance (http://time.com/3724958/review-last-man-on-earth-will-forte/), a concept that shouldn't work ends up working (http://www.vulture.com/2015/02/tv-review-the-last-man-on-earth.html) pretty well, it's a joke in search of a punchline (http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/the-last-man-on-earth-review-one-survivor-isn-t-so-funny-1.9977063), it's an idea so insane (http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/02/last-man-on-earth-review?) it just has to work, it's the best and most easily enjoyable network comedy (http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/tv/foxs-last-man-on-earth-a-guy-who-is-truly-in-his-own-element/2015/02/26/13ab6a26-baf6-11e4-bdfa-b8e8f594e6ee_story.html) in years, and go behind the scenes with Forte (http://grantland.com/features/will-forte-last-man-on-earth-macgruber/).
