2 eps apiece Sunday before last and the Sunday before that. None this Sunday past.

According to his appearance on @midnight last night, Will is back in mountain man mode. Full beard and long hair.

I gave up on this show. It started off ok but I've just lost interest.

Yeah, me too. I just don't like the lead guy's comedic style...too over-the-top for me. I also agree with what others have said about them advancing the story line WAY too fast.

Here's a thought - maybe the seasons are largely one-offs.

Next year doesn't involve Melissa and Todd at all. Hell, maybe Carol's gone as well. The story doesn't really need her and perhaps is a little constrained by her.

Wouldn't the story have a longer life-span if Phil just gets tired of the 3 of them and jets? Onto a new town, new shenanigans. Get him out of the hot, arid desert and see what happens in the mountains, on the ocean, in the northeast. Send him to a major city like NY and see what comes of it.

This show has no choice but to devolve into a conventional sitcom if they choose to keep him where he is. However, if they just rotate cast/characters/situations around him, there's an actual lifespan there. They also kinda have a re-set button if an idea doesn't work.

Yeah, that would work for the storyline. But I could probably only get into the show if the lead actor changed his shtick.

Well it's a Will Forte vehicle so if you're not into Will Forte's humor, it probably ain't gonna be the show for you.

Like you, I'm not generally a huge fan of his, but I do think that his standard bit of 'everyday schmuck' humor works well for the idea. The problem is that they pushed him too far over the top.

If they get it back to where they started of him just being a goofball with below average smarts, there's still a lot that can be pumped out of the premise, IMO.

Agreed lately has been way over the top

So, Phil finally had a three way. This show kind of blows...

I missed the past sundays episode, but thought the one before where they introduced Steenburgen and the other chick was hilarious... Carols last words to me were find your smile

Also agree with DJLN, it will probably need to move from Arizona and keep the cast of people changing to stay fresh.

Or the virus mutates and kills everyone but him. ( which would be "off-screened" so they can start the second season)

I'm just guessing, but it probably wont ever get that serious, tone-wise.
