Synopsis:

Spoiler:
A drifting young man named Ryan (Elijah Wood) is asked to watch his neighbor's dog, Wilfred---who looks like a dog to everyone else but appears as a man (Jason Gann) in a dog suit to Ryan---in the opener of this live-action comedy, which is adapted from an Australian series and also starred Gann as wisecracking and pot-smoking Wilfred. Ryan could use a pick-me-up: He's supposed to begin a boring job and he just attempted suicide.

Well, that's certainly different.

this could be awesome, or it could suck ass. I'm in for a few until it becomes obvious in which direction it goes.

I'm usually a sucker for F/X shows, but this just looks too weird and stupid.

The concept looks stupid but this could be one of those shows that so out of box that it's good. It can't be any worse that Louie, right?

In case anyone wasn't didn't know, this is actually a remake of an Australian show by the same name. Interestingly, the guy that plays Wilfred in the Australian show is also going to play him here.

Not sure what to make of it; looks pretty weird and it doesn't seem at all like it will draw in and maintain a large audience. I'll probably check it out though.

It's on FX, so I'll be checking it out.

The original is pretty funny, so I'm gonna give this a try.

I like the originality even though it looks weird..Have to check it out. Like most of what's on FX..although I only made it through the first few minutes of Louie before I couldn't take it anymore.

Worth a few episodes at least.

Didn't really know what this was about, but Elijah Wood was on O&A this morning, and sold me on it. Ill give it atleast 2 episodes to win me over.

I found the pilot interesting, there were a few laughs. I'll keep on watching this season. It's so quirky and different though, I'm not sure it'll catch on with the average joe.

I loved the dog smoking a bong hit.

I really liked this show. Going to try and stick with it.

That was fun in a neurotic way. It's certainly a bit different, so I'll be sticking with it.

Really enjoyed it.

I liked it. For those interested you can watch the first season of the original Wilfred here. I'll be checking it out when I have the time.

Didn't do much for me. It started off kind of funny, but then just became a bore. Maybe now that they've got the concept established, future episodes will be better.

(I did crack up at Wilfred patting down the pillow and circling before he sat on the sofa).

Thinking about it more now... Wilfred is kind of Fight Club-ish. Not that it's a bad thing.

It had its moments which works just fine for a 30 minute comedy. And honestly, where else are you going to find a man in a dog suit motorboating a hot waitress?

I felt like I should have been stoned while watching this.

LMFAO This show is so stupid ... I absolutely love it. I'd be shocked if it gets a second season but i'ma enjoy the hell out of it while it's here.

I laughed several times. I liked the dryness of the sister/doctor bitching about the kids she keeps having to "pull out of women" at work (the humor of which is fairly subtle within the context of a talking dog show).

I'll be back next week.

I dug it, I'll definitely tune in next week.
