Well, going by the Simpsons 6 seasons is right around when people start hating on the show anyway. :v:

Nah, the simpsons only started it's decline then. Depending on who you ask it was 3 or 4 more seasons before they took a nosedive.

Goons cream their jeans over shows with unlikable characters but LMOE uses the same shtick over and over and over ... and Tandy is unlikable in a non-compelling way; like a creepy uncle that everyone hopes doesn't come to the kid's birthday party. The show is otherwise well done and Carol is a great character. If the writing improves it could become a legit good show.

I'm pretty sure that the whole point is that he's like that. You have someone who was probably a pedantic rear end in a top hat before the virus, he was also clearly suffering from depression at the beginning. Throw in years of isolation and you get him.

Yes, its a little over the top, but its supposed to be about a selfish rear end in a top hat that accidentally gives people hope and brought the last people on earth together.

I dunno, I don't really think he's that unlikable, his character is more of the anti-straight man in a cast of straight men.

I did manage to get through two minutes of one episode.

I think I made it 5, of course most of that was trying to figure out where I left the remote.
