    By the end of the third episode, I was tired of all the sodomy jokes. Wood is an appealing comedic lead, but he's working off scraps. Be charitable and chalk up Gann's appeal to cultural differences.

    While Wilfred will doubtless find cultish admirers, after previewing three episodes, the size of its pack should be limited.

    So it may develop a cult following, and whether it does or not, FX deserves continuing credit for trying different approaches to traditional TV shows. Too often, though, Wilfred makes us work a little too hard for the payout.

    Wilfred tries for a coarse sophistication that locates it somewhere between HBO's winsome "Flight of the Conchords" and FX's brutally honest "Louie" (which begins its second season on Thursday night). But it ends up muffled and not very funny.

It was almost hard to believe I was watching American television. It's bizarre, sharply written and insanely funny. Almost died at the closing credits scene with the teddy bear. Probably helps that the Oz actor playing the "dog" played the same role on Australian TV.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. A very interesting show. I love the fact that everyone sees Wilfred as a dog, while Ryan (Elijah Wood) sees him as a person in a dog suit. It is a little weird, but I will definitely have this be a show that I will try to tune into every week.… Full Review »
