  Anyone else watching this show?

  I'm fascinated by it. I have often thought about what it would be like if most people were gone. I don't think it would be anything like TNS doctrine. We'd have a huge supply of leftover stuff to use, but we'd have to figure out how to make electricity, run water, etc.

  Its pretty funny. I think the main character, Will Forte, is much smarter than most active JW's. As you know, thats not saying much.
  Good show otherwise. I hope it comes back next season.

  As of April 8th, it looks like FOX renewed it for a second season.

  Hi Rebel8 while I wasn't a big fan of the T.V. show I am a sucker for the premise!

  The book that started the last person living was

  Earth Abides by George R. Stewart

  Google Amazon for the book and reviews.

  
  

  The Pelbar Cycle by Paul O. Williams. 7 books in the series

  set in North America about a thousand years after a "time of fire", in which the world was nearly totally depopulated. The novels track a gradual reconnection of the human cultures which developed.

  Thanks, I may read that now.

  The tv show started out a little slow. I was thinking, "How interesting could it be if it's only about 1 person?" It's totally different than I expected, and very interesting.

  I'm so glad it got renewed!

  Love the show. The main character has the same timing and fortune that I had for many years. Then again, he also gets what he deserves often, so what's that say about me, lol.
