While I found this pilot episode very funny, at first I wondered how they could possibly fill another dozen episodes.  Then in the last few minutes, the title character, Phil Miller (creator-writer Will Forte), meets the last woman on earth, Carol Pilbasian (Kristen Schaal).  So I can sort of see how this would run for four seasons.  I have my doubts that the pair are even the last Americans on Earth, since we only see Phil haphazardly driving across the US and crossing off each state when he comes to it.  But I'm definitively in for at least another couple episodes, even if Schaal proves as annoying as she was on 30 Rock (where Forte played Jenna's boyfriend Paul) and Flight of the Conchords.

Tom Hanks is tagged for the clips from Cast Away.  Phil Lord and Christopher Miller co-directed and would also do the next episode.  (But then, comments at IMDB suggest that the first two episodes were originally one "one-hour" episode.)  Note that this is the 100th "sci-fi" show on this blog, although admittedly sometimes that category is a bit arbitrary.  (In this case, it's set a few years in the future and people are dead from some mysterious disease.)
