I think I prefer the earlier seasons a little more. I mean, when is the last time we heard a good "Frickin' Todd"? I still look forward to the show each week. There is always a few good lines, and Forte does a great job.

Worst episode of the series.
On the bright side, it makes yet another lengthy break easier to take.

Yea, not a good episode.
Dumb that they start off the second half of the season dedicating a whole episode to Kristen Wiig's character and then 4 episodes pass and we haven't seen her since.

Wow, another new low in quality for the series. What a chore this episode was to watch. It is stunning how fast and far this show has gone downhill. Frickin' awful.
Anyone associated with this show who did not stand up and say "NO! Do not add a kid to the show! It is a terrible idea!" must be fired immediately.

It's become obvious that Tandy will never become less annoying. Why does he still have the eyebrows and why is he still Tandy and not Phil? By this time the others should realize the he and to a lesser extent Carol are insane and a demonstrable danger to the group. I still dont get how Melissa gets painted as a security risk because she's suffering from depression (and bipolar disorder), but Tandy has been a psychopath since day one and yet the group still follows his lead most of the time.
The stuff with the kid severely slows the show down and has no endgame in sight.

They were shaved off as part of a prank by Mike, so Carol made him some eyebrow prosthetics because she couldn't make sense of his browless emotes.

From Forte's Twitter:
...our show's on a serious bubble. So if you like it, please watch on tv tonite or DVR or fox.com in the next 3 days. Thanx!

Pretty sure the show won't get renewed... even Fox executives can't be on board with this stupid kid story line. No amount of pleading with your fans to DVR tonight's episode is gonna salvage this show from being canceled.
Too bad cause I loved this show.

Yeah, huge supporter of this show but lately it is just not good. I want the dark humor and over the top surprises... this has been garbage and I blame the kid.

The inclusion of the kid wasn't a good idea, but I can't blame it on that as he was only added recently.
It just seems like they're running out of things to do.
Not sure I get the reason for the 6 month time-jump. Erica and Gail are a couple now?
And we're now 6 episodes past the Kristen Wigg episode. I guess she'll be in the season finale.

I was fine with the time jump, even if it was mostly just for laughs (no reason to explain, we were all there...). I also got a kick out of the kid now talking, but not finding out how/why. First time anything with that kid made me even smile... I'm also glad to have Melissa out of her drug coma. I'm still entertained by the show, and I hope it makes the cut.

I was hoping Tandy is still the literal "last man on Earth", and that everyone else were figments of his imagination. But at this point, that would make zero sense.

The show still makes me laugh, and the overall absurdity is fine with me. I am not expecting this to be a documentary.

Don't usually watch this show on Sunday, but we decided to take on the 2 ep/hour long season finale last night.
With the apparent
it looks like next season will shake things up a bit.
As I mentioned in my previous post from last week, the show still makes me laugh so I'm down with it until it turns some horrible corner. Until then - I call if fun stuff.

I enjoyed the finale and was so hoping we'd see Wiig before it ended.
Hope we get one more season, although I doubt KW will be around for very long. I'd love to be wrong but she's way too busy to join a sitcom.

That was 2 good episodes. Like classic ones. Funny how they brought him back only to off him.

It was a neat (and quick) way to have Wiig introduce herself to the gang.
So they're taking a yacht from Los Angeles to Mexico - just like Fear the Walking Dead. I hope the show's quality doesn't turn into that shitfest.
The writers need to tone Tandy down. The character tries too hard at everything and just talks too much. I get that he's supposed to be the idiot and the annoying character, but you have to give the audience a break once in a while.

I caught up on the last 2 episodes. Loved the ending- I hope we get another season out of it.
I was really expecting Tandy in the previous episode to come out in blackface rather than Phil's mask. Probably would have been more shocking but funnier.
