I know this is a ‘love it or hate it’ kind of show, but I loved it and tuned in every week. I understand it’s not the kind of show where you’re dissecting every shot and angle (that’s what The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are for), but that’s not what it was meant to be. It was a comedy, so it didn’t need a dramatic or grim element to the show. I feel they were right to overlook certain aspects of the apocalypse, as they aren’t completely necessary to include in order to get a grasp on the plot.

The cast had excellent chemistry and their acting was top notch. Will Forte gave an outstanding performance as Phil “Tandy” Miller. You can tell this dude gave his everything to that character. Hell, he even shaved his eyebrows off! Kristen Schaal was on the same level as Forte—truly exceptional as Carol. Some of the things she said had me in tears. It was lighthearted and funny, but at times was heart wrenching and dark. I really miss that show, and wish another network had picked it up.

Oh, farts...

Honestly, things being predictable is what helps make this show great. When Lewis was killed they milked that the entire episode, you knew it was coming, and when it happened, it was still hilarious.

Also, I exploded into laughter when Martin Short randomly appeared in season 4 because I knew he was going to die.

I expected all of the bunker bros to be a bunch of celebs and to die immediately (I had Melissa shooting them all). Predictability can be funny sometimes.

“[These people] went down [into the bunker] when the virus had first started,” Forte said on Vulture‘s Good Ones podcast. “They had some kind of medical expert or scientist who knew, ‘At this certain point, the virus will be dormant. You’ll be safe to get back out,’ and they had reached that point. Then they see a bunch of stragglers — us — and we represent a real threat to them, because they thought [everyone] was dead, so they quarantine us.

“We eventually communicate with them a little bit [and] they get comfortable with us,” he continued. “They look scary but they end up being nice people.”

Forte said one or two famous guest stars would likely have been revealed among the bunker denizens. “And eventually we’d all get comfortable with each other,” Forte said, but allowed that that move would prove fatal. “We are immune to the virus, but we’re carriers. And so we would infect them and they’d die like wildfire,” Forte said. “And then we’re back to just our little group, and maybe one famous [guest star] we could talk into staying around.”

Forte said he felt that Season 5 would be the last, but said he hadn’t really given much thought to an actual series ending. “We don’t know how we were going to end the show,” he said. “We would have found something that would have been fitting for the audience
