"Sometimes I feel I am the last man on Earth watching The Last Man on Earth," says Ben Yagoda. "The ratings of Fox’s post-apocalyptic sitcom, which aired the last episode of its fourth season on Sunday, started out low and then descended. This season it averaged about 1.97 million viewers per airing, worse than every single show on any network other than the CW, with the exception of its Fox stablemates Brooklyn Nine-Nine, New Girl, and The Exorcist." He adds: "Why have I and my 2 million-odd fellow Last Man fans kept watching? Speaking for myself, because the show is smart, goofy, attractively filmed, crammed with satisfying Easter eggs and callbacks, absolutely nonaspirational, superbly acted, sneak-up-on-you funny, and, most important, almost aggressively original."

It's so weird that I can't help but watch it. I'm not very fond of Tandy (Will Forte) but I like the rest of the cast.

The fact that this show managed to last four years on a major broadcast network should be considered a success. The Last Man on Earth could be classified as a very strange and dark show that really isn't for everyone. It was one of those shows that was rarely full on funny but usually mildly amusing. What didn't help was that they had an actual story to tell, but we just got celebrity cameos, cliffhangers, and the slowest moving story imaginable instead.
