Wilfred: Season 1

I really like this show, and it's dark humor. They could give Elijah Wood more to do than to frantically run around after Wilfred, eyes bulging, but Jason Gann (WIlfred) more than carries the show. The stream of great guess stars doesn't hurt either. Jane K. (Malcolm in the Middle) shows up for what is my favorite episode of the first season. But wait till you see Ed Helms (Andy from The Office) and what he does to Wilfred!!

I like many different types of shows, though sitcoms and primetime TV dont usually fall into that list. I enjoy british comedies such as Coupling, Monty Python, The IT Crowd, and US shows such as Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Arrested Development, etc. This shows commercials and clips always made it seem bizarre and perhaps a show for the junkies of the world, perhaps it is, but its not JUST for them. I feel this shows humor ranges from subtle, to feel-good/inspiring, to in-your-face, twisted. Some might see a cheap laugh, or what they might consider to be one, but I feel everything in the show has thought behind it. I don't find any of the characters that 2D at all, and there is plenty of character development and relatable feelings throughout. Theres plenty of shock value, and a feeling that there is a silver lining around the gloom in life. I would suggest this show to anyone that needs a laugh, plus anyone thats an animal lover, or hater, or might have been depressed, someone that loves to express one self, someone that wants to tell of their boss or family member....really, anyone should be able to enjoy this show provided they aren't offended by fiction or cursing.Buy this, watch this. You wont be disappointed.

The chemistry between Wood and Gann is clear form the first episode and this was something I found lacking in the Australian original. You want to keep watching and see how Ryan, Wood's character, adapts and grows from being a suicidal loner giving up on life, to engaging his neighbors and co-workers because of his unlikely friendship with a talking dog. At times you wonder if Wilfred has Ryan's best interests in mind, but he's always there to pick up the pieces. The way Gann acts like a dog, like when he yells at people and Ryan can hear what he's saying while everybody else hears just barking is funny, and leaves you wondering what dogs are really saying. Although sometimes dark and crude, this is the story of an unlikely friendship between a man who may or may not be insane and his neighbor's pet who Ryan sees as a man in a dog suit.

A very interesting show, though Wilfred is a bit immoral (I guess most dogs are, but it is raunchy with the human portrayal), but I've been a fan of Elijah Wood for 20 years, and he is a great actor and plays his part very well in this series (one of the main reasons I watch this show, and look forward to every episode). I like the storyline, and the mystery of Wilfred, and I can't wait to see how everything unfolds in it's last season (Season 5). I have purposefully not seen the Australian version so nothing is given away. I'm sad that the series is ending, but it is sometimes best at five seasons, especially when the creators had a plan that actually has an ending in mind and knew this was going to happen). Even Seinfeld ended before it was too late and the show became "old."

I wasn’t sure I would like this. I found it very funny, and very touching at times. Isn’t afraid to go dark, which is a nice change of pace these days. Show was a steal for under five bucks. Give it a shot!

The show has such a cool story...such an awesome vibe to it as well.

Other than the walking dead, there is no other show in the last few years I have embraced as much as Wilfred. Elijah Wood is remarkable as always. He was cast so well as the frustrated with life lead that is so well complimented by the OUTSTANDING performance by Jason Gann as Wilfred the dog. I remember seeing the preview to this show and knowing that it was something I wanted to see. The only frustrating thing about this show is that I want more and I have so much questions and I have to wait and see for season 2. I recommend this show to EVERYONE.

Well done

I have given this two stars based solely on my regard for Elijah Wood. The premise is a good one: Ryan tries to kill himself and fails and the next day his neighbour's dog (Wilfred) appears at the door in the guise of a man dressed in a ridiculous dog costume!However, for this premise to work Wilfred must have the behavioural characteristics of a dog. Some concession to the identity of Wilfred as an actual dog must be made for the suspension of disbelief to take hold of the viewer. Wilfred uses a bong to get high, drinks beer from a bottle, breaks a window to burgle a house, uses a laptop to show Ryan that his next door neighbour is having sex with her boyfriend, uses a a mobile phone to call him in the middle of the night etc. etc. Unfortunately almost no effort is made to create a canine aspect to Wilfred's personality and so what we end up with is a man in a dog costume.Even this could be mitigated to some extent if Wilfred had some of the charm of a dog but no, he is simply a loud-mouthed, obnoxious trickster.Yuk!

Fabulously funny DVD. Broad minded people please. Drug & Sex references .. Elijah Wood takes a great part off. Is he imagining all this , Or is Wilfred real ???? LOL

None of my friends watch this and I dont know why! Its hilarious! Good for watching when you need a laugh and can't wait for series 2 to be released on DVD :)

First time watching Wilfred, i don't really get it, i was a bit disapointed especially being a Elijah fan although it's laughable.

Excellent comedy series. we can't wait to see series 4 when it's available in the UK.
