(Um, curious as I may be about who the celebrity cameos would've been, I'm kinda glad we didn't get to see this scenario play out. xD )

I don't know how they could have made it fun to have all those people die.

Yeah, if that really was the plan, then that's why I think we may have dodged a bullet there. :p As dark as the show sometimes got (especially by broadcast-network comedy standards), I could understand killing off one or two newcomers at a time (or sending one or two people off on their own) but wiping out a whole community would've been too much...

Cancelled Sci Fi pays its respects, and points out a downside to the early cancellation:

Quote

The show had amassed 67 episodes by the end of its fourth season, and one more round of at least 13 eps (18 was its typical order) would have taken it to a total that would make it more attractive to the syndication market, where shows really start to turn a profit (and FOX co-owned it so the network would share in those profits). Instead, its lower episode count and the fact that it ends on a huge cliffhanger makes the show less marketable for an encore run. I realize that FOX had less hours to program in Fall due to adding Thursday Night Football to its schedule, but The Last Man on Earth could have filled up time on the schedule when other shows were in repeats or even had a Summer run. Had the network gone that direction, they likely would have made more money in the long run. But apparently word came from above to cut under-performing shows and they didn’t think much about the long-term impact.
