cslorch27 This show is so awful I created an IMDb account just to give this show a 1. Honestly this is not even worth discussing but this site requires me to type 10 lines. This show is honestly so bad I texted all of my friends to never watch this show. It was so awful it made me cry. I will pay whoever thinks they may watch this show to not watch this show solely for their own well being. Do you remember the Lord of the Rings? This is Frodo's worst. Never, ever, ever watch this or your Lord of The Rings visions will be destroyed. Because I saw this I no longer will watch the series. Elijah Wood has now been ruined and I will never watch any movie/TV series he is in. So God damn awful.

uplaypoker Well, I put off watching Wilfred because of the idea of a guy in a dog suit as one of the main characters. I felt like the idea would get worn out pretty quick, but so far I find it a refreshing change of pace. I am only through a couple of shows, so I don't know if they will be able to keep the series fresh, but I will say they did a top notch job casting Gann as Wilfred. I could think of a million people who would have killed the show if they were cast for that part. I will continue watching and will hope for maybe another dynamic to be added to the show. Possibly another main character, I am not sure adding a brother would work given the role the sister plays, but possibly a cousin or someone who can also hear Wilfred.

deaddogstwo I have to admit first that I have never seen the original Australian series...but this is my new favorite show. The fact that Jason Gann reprises his role from the original automatically guarantees that it is a giant step up from most adapted-for-American-TV shows (the horrible US adaptation of The Office comes to mind immediately). This show works for me on so many levels, it's hard to pinpoint what exactly it is that keeps me so enthralled. Elijah Wood is fantastic. He imbues his character with a wide-eyed confusion and pathos (especially in later episodes) that actually reminds me a lot of myself, though I talk to a cat instead of a dog. All those reviewers out there who long for the over- emoting and silly accent of his Frodo performances are missing the point entirely. The development of his character has been incredible, and I sure hope that we get another season to truly dig into his troubled mind and mysterious past. Many of the other characters are equally compelling: Jason Gann actually brings a lot of complexity to his role (a tough row to hoe for a guy in a dog suit), Chris Klein is uniformly excellent in his aw-shucks portrayal of the ever sincere Drew, and Dorian Brown plays spot on as the sister who thinks she's better than Ryan, but in fact is just as much of a screwup, with at least as many emotional issues, as her brother. The smaller roles are also richly illustrated, and the casting is superb all around.I disagree with many people's view that the first season was superior; yes, it was raunchier and had more obvious jokes (including the absolutely hilarious Robin Williams cameo) but I find myself more attracted to the more complex emotional content of the recent episodes. I know others prefer the "Always Sunny in Philadelphia"-style of FX programming, where every character is an unlikable boor, but where that show jumped the shark relatively quickly, "Wilfred" just keeps drawing me further into its strange and confusing labyrinth of emotion.It's not often that a show can feature a scene where the main character is covered in dog semen and still hit me in the guts with genuine feeling. I relate to Ryan in more ways than I can count, and I truly hope this show sticks around despite declining ratings. Nuts to those who think otherwise. If you can't understand this show, then go lobotomize yourself with "Anger Management".

H P Okay I voted this a little low because the people giving this a 10 are ridiculous.The idea of the show is pretty good but starts to leave a bad aftertaste. The writers seem to run out of ideas within 3 episodes but somehow manage to finish the first season by turning it into a mess. By the second season they have no idea what they are doing, no ideas for the dog, and seem to milk any part of the show that gets a chuckle. That's fine and all but you can't go through 3 seasons milking the same "joke" that became flawed because the dog is real in some episodes and then just imagination in others. Oh and he smokes weed, we get it, it's just not that funny.The comedy of the dog is pulled off terribly, and Wood seems to just blast through his acting with his wide eyed look about 90% of the time. Could have just hired an owl to do the same thing.No consistency or logical plot, some episodes matter, other episodes are just disregarded like they never happened. The characters don't grow on you, but become people you are annoyed with.I started this show thinking it had great potential, and I did like the first 2-3 episodes, laughed 1 time in each, but it fell to 0, and then it just made me bored. Going from clever, to obnoxious bullocks, Wilfred.
