The Last Man On Earth is alive with humor, great character development and an original script.  I decided to wait to see 3 episodes before writing my critique on the show to see whether it will still be as good over that period of time and it continues to prove me right. What is amazing is the story continues to grow even though the cast and characters are quite limited.   I could be tired or even in a cranky mood but after watching an episode of Last Man On Earth I feel on top of the world with laughter.

It may not be the art the critic is reviewing but the mood of the critic that determines the review.   Many times it’s hard to separate your personal emotions from the emotions that you feel when you’re experiencing a piece of art and therefore a review might be tainted by those feelings.  Furthermore affections or disdain for the artists might make your review subject to that bias as well.  Health conditions can also affect how someone see’s a particular piece of art for examine can you imagine reviewing a concert with a headache or sinuses.  Therefore for a reviewer to be perfectly honest they must take note of their emotional biases and tell those who would read such a review if there is any chance that this might affect their true feelings of this piece of art … (see my next blog)

A CLASSIC DUMB SHOW

Let’s face it there are some shows geared to those that aren’t brain surgeon’s or don’t want to practicing surgery this night.  They have simple black & white characters with taped laughs and/or action that starts from the opening scene.   T.V Producers realize there is a demographics of dumb people or one’s who act that way when watching television. These shows are not  made  to make you think but to kill some time and keep you off the streets and your brain. Yes they are silly and stupid but there are times when it’s best to escape to “Gilligan’s Island” or any reality show (except for Shark Tank(s)).  To escape such feelings of guilt while watching these shows I recommend watching them upside down, seeing them with closed eyes, counting how many taped laughs occur and/or counting the amount of nice cars demolished,  doing your homework or a crossword puzzle while they occur. If all else fails pretend your sleep while watching because rest assured your brain will be getting some shut eye.
