"Wilfred is a half-hour, live-action comedy about "Ryan," a young man struggling unsuccessfully to make his way in the world until he forms a unique friendship with "Wilfred," his neighbor's canine pet. Everyone else sees Wilfred as just a dog, but Ryan sees a crude and somewhat surly, yet irrepressibly brave and honest Australian bloke in a cheap dog suit. While leading him through a series of comedic and existential adventures, Wilfred the dog shows Ryan the man how to overcome his fears and joyfully embrace the unpredictability and insanity of the world around him. Wilfred is based on the critically acclaimed Australian series of the same title and was adapted for FX by David Zuckerman (Family Guy, American Dad, King of the Hill)."

FX is putting out really good shows of late so this will almost certainly be worth checking out. Premieres in June.

wasn't the whole reason behind the guy seeing wilfred as a man in a dog suit because he tried to kill himself with a bunch of pills or something?? and he answers the door looking like frodo with the ring and there's this hot chick with wilfred the "dog"

I'll be watching it

I still get occasional headaches from the time that I tried to watch Everything is Illuminated and ended up trying to kill myself with a hammer.

Premiere is set for Thursday, June 23 @ 10PM and will be followed by the second season of Louie at 10:30. Sepinwall is pretty enthused about it:

I'm thinking this is going to be awesome.

4/20/2011 4:59:35 PM

Anyone else spot Wilfred in the stands at the Phillies/Cubs game? Pretty cool promo.

6/11/2011 5:51:01 PM

DVR is set. Can't wait for this.

6/11/2011 5:53:42 PM

seriously? this shit looks TERRIBLE

6/11/2011 7:41:44 PM

yeah we saw it the first time, quit being a douche.

[Edited on June 11, 2011 at 7:52 PM. Reason : perhaps you could withhold anymore witty and insightful analysis until AFTER an episode has aired]

6/11/2011 7:45:25 PM

This show looks so stupid but I probably still watch it and it'll probably be pretty funny.

6/11/2011 11:53:11 PM

^^ha i had forgotten i posted in this thread before. at least i'm consistent.
it does look really bad though.

6/12/2011 11:46:23 AM

I loved it. The intertwining of dog and human behavior was hilarious. Hope it doesn't get played out.

6/23/2011 10:49:50 PM

It wasn't bad. I'll probably keep watching

6/23/2011 11:02:46 PM

I was amused during the moments where Wilfred acted like a dog. However the character interaction just felt weird and difficult to believe. I'm not expecting a perfect social construction, but Wilfred is just too much of a dick to earn the enderment he gets from the main character.

6/24/2011 9:50:56 AM

i laughed really hard at Wilfred fucking the stuffed animal will smoking a cig. i guess i am childish.

6/24/2011 9:56:39 AM

I thought it was hilarious.

6/24/2011 10:15:25 AM

I can't really say how much I like it at this point, all I can say is that it entertained/intrigued me enough to keep watching and see where it goes

6/24/2011 10:16:59 AM

i liked it a lot. not confident that they can keep it up without repeating pretty much the same jokes. but i'll definitely give it a few more episodes.

same here although the first 5 minutes were exceptionally humorous.

Although I don't like the sister character, and some of the things wilfred does seem too forced.

6/24/2011 11:15:56 PM

ill watch it again

6/24/2011 11:27:33 PM

here's a review of the first three episodes. If you're not familiar with avclub movie and tv reviews, they're pretty good about not giving away plot details, so there aren't really any spoilers other than the very basic premise of the next episode.

6/26/2011 7:46:21 PM

still think this show is hilarious. loved the scenes at the vet and the beach

7/1/2011 10:37:35 AM

I don't see how they can keep this show progressing, but I guess we'll see.

7/1/2011 11:56:07 AM

I really enjoyed the second episode as well, the scene on the beach where he kills a pelican had me in stitches.

7/1/2011 12:50:04 PM

just curious, when yall say 'hilarious' do you actually mean you are laughing out loud, like not guffawing but audibly laughing?

7/1/2011 1:16:51 PM

i have laughed out loud many times watching this show

7/1/2011 1:53:12 PM

^

7/1/2011 3:05:01 PM

I've laughed a lot, mostly along with a "what the fuck" look on my face.

7/1/2011 3:41:43 PM

laughed out loud (literally) quite a bit during episode 2. I, too, am not quite sure how this show will work in the long haul.... but I'm enjoying it for the time being.

7/1/2011 5:40:52 PM

I wish they'd occasionally show him as a dog

7/2/2011 8:00:28 PM

There's something about this show, but I can't put my finger in it

ok maybe not.

I think it’s that wilfred says/does things that are cruel, that you would expect or hope to have a deeper meaning or rationale, but they don’t. He’s just cruel.

The show seems like it should have some more, deeper moralistic undertones, but they aren’t really there.

But the show is young yet, so we’ll see.

7/3/2011 1:34:47 AM

*grins*
I agree with all of that!
However, I was making a (poor, I suppose) reference to the last episode where Wilfred was in the car talking to Frodo about his decision to leave the chick because she put a finger in his butt. He said something along the lines of "blah blah but I can't put my finger in it"

7/3/2011 10:29:09 AM

haha

my reading skills aren’t the best at 2AM...

7/3/2011 10:54:15 AM

laughed my ass off at both episodes.

7/7/2011 8:46:33 AM

the dot thing last night was hilarious

7/8/2011 1:50:59 PM

may have to abandon this one

7/8/2011 2:55:48 PM

Loved the dot thing, and the rhetorical question: "I don't know, Ryan. Why is the sky gray? Why is the grass gray? ..."

7/8/2011 3:23:12 PM

I watched all 3 episodes last night and laughed my ass off. Great show so far.

7/11/2011 11:11:54 PM

One of my new favorite comedies

7/12/2011 7:04:54 AM

still watching so far
