Last Man on Earth- Week 5

Going against The Walking Dead finale at 9pm, ABC’s Secrets and Lies once again beat out its CBS drama competition in the hour by 18% in Adults 18-49 (1.3/4 vs. 1.1/3 for Madam Secretary/The Good Wife), and tied Fox’s back-to-back episodes of The Last Man on Earth (1.3/4).

The reviews of this week’s two episode have been positive. People are saying Last Man is funny and that there’s certainly still room for it to explore that extra bit of depth that the pilot tapped into.

Following Last Man sewer-raton social media I see trend in making short videos and GIFs out of the funniest moments. This has been getting a lot of buzz out with re-tweets and shares. People seem to be enjoying the weird but funny cast and the bizarre premise.

Last Man On Earth – Week 4

This week Fox gave viewers two episodes of Last Man On Earth. Many Last Man viewers are saying that they should have spent more time developing Phil’s character before introducing more people. Critics are saying that every episode a new cast member becomes introduced and they want to see more layers of Phil because they view him as this obnoxious, grating person.

Last Man came in first in the 9pm 18-49 ratings, against Secrets and Lies and Dateline but third in total viewers (live + SD) attracting 4.55 million viewers. The 9:30pm episode came in first in 18-49 ratings against The Good Wife but almost had half of the total viewers The Good Wife attracted (8.43 compared to Last Man’s 4.42).
