Line 52:
* [[Doctor Who (TV)|The Doctor]] isn't the last ''man'' on ''Earth'', but he is the last of his kind. Except he isn't.
* ''[[Star Trek Voyager]]'', "Projections." The Emergency Medical Hologram is activated and told by the computer that he's the last person on the ship. As this is still early in the show and he's stuck in Sickbay, he prepares to shut down his program, but suddenly there's a knock at the door.
* ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' makes this the whole premise of a sitcom. On a mining ship in deep space, a radiation leak kills everyone except one man in a temporal-stasis-field prison cell. He wakes up three million years later, [[
* Done literally in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' episode "The Empty Planet"; when Rani wakes up and finds out she's alone, she checks the neighboring houses for other people with no luck. As she's searching for a working TV signal, there's a knock on the front door... which turns out to be her best friend Clyde. Played closer to the spirit of the trope later, when they run across a stranger who was also left behind, [[It Got Worse|then a pair of killer robots]]...
** Said stranger turns out to be {{spoiler|an ascending prince, and the robots are looking for him.}}
