This was the highest rated comedy debut for FX.

At 10 PM, the comedy starring Elijah Wood drew 2.6 million total viewers to become the network's most-watched comedy series premiere ever. It also posted 1.6 million viewers in the adults 18-49 demo and 834,000 adults 18-34, with the 18-34 number also an FX comedy premiere record.

Terriers couldn't do it but a show about a man in a dog suit can wtf

I also dug the Dune reference. Not only that a dog would cite that, but that the man would actually know the citation. "Fear is the mind killer..."

There was a Dune book on his nightstand in the opening scene.

I didn't care for it - didn't laugh, wasn't amused - won't be watching again. Also, a non-Hobbit Elija Wood creeps me out.

This was better than the Louis opener... but it's going to have to get a bit funnier for me to stay tuned in.

I finally caught up with this last night and thought it was pretty good. Laughed several times -- glad to hear it pulled in good ratings.

Gave it a shot and enjoyed it. I also laughed at the very subtle dog mannerisms like the turning around and patting the pillow prior to sitting.

Terriers didn't look even remotely interesting and it featured Donal Logue one of the least appealing actors in Hollywood. Everything the man touches turns to shit.
