What would you do if you were the Last Man on Earth?

I've watched this show a few times (catching it mid-season) and was also a bit disappointed that they didn't follow through on the premise, but it would be pretty tough to make a sit-com with one person.  Anyway, part of the appeal of the premise is wondering what you would do if you were the last one, or if you happened to find a few more people.

Naturally The Omega Man pops into mind and being able to go to a movie theater and project a film of your choice.  I don't think I'd watch Woodstock though.  :)  How about you all?  Watching Vincent Price in The Last Man on Earth would probably be pretty depressing in that situation.

Where would you choose to live?  Somewhere by the ocean would be nice.  Hanging out at the mall?  The library?  Anyway, just thought I'd ask.  The TV show is mildly amusing but already pretty formulaic and a typical sit-com.  There's something about it that I like though.

 Watching Vinnie in "Last Man on Earth" might actually have some helpful tips. I loved that film when I was a kid.

Ha, yeah.  At least you could watch it and think, 'at least there aren't vampires running around.'

And then, based on the FOX TV show, it's interesting to think about being the last man on earth along with a couple of beautiful women on earth.  There are some possibilities there.

I think this TV show is too reliant on the relationships between the characters when it could do some more with inventive ideas about what those last people might be doing to survive, or thrive in that situation.

I gave this a fair chance and tried to watch trough the whole season.
But No, I couldn't.
The only thing that would describe this is CRINGE. They acted awful, the characters was boring, the situations they got themself in was not funny, did not make me laugh but I did feel embarrassed over how awkward it was.
And talking to tennis balls and pooping in pools is just not my thing.
1/10.
