Wilfred-new FX series
- Thread starter highlander
- Start date
Cameos in The A-Team & Sucker Punch, voice work for a Shrek movie, other tv spots & a supportin' role in The Town.
It will be interesting to see how it backs up.
I never once watched the Australian version, but I watched this out of interest, and surprisingly I thought it was fairly good. It had me laughing several times. I really don't know what direction it will take from here, but I'm probably going to keep watching.
I enjoyed the pilot episode. Wilfred digging holes in the backyard was probably the funniest part.

The pilot had them arguin' about particles of shit in Elijah Wood's underwear & them both takin' dumps in a pair of boots, with Wilfred describin' Elijah Wood's shit. And it was supposed to be funny.
Ya think the rest of the series will have less shit-related dialogue?

You shouldn't assume you know what people liked in Pushing Daisies, which was never lowbrow and crass.
Yeah, I can hope that was the highpoint of it. The talk about smells wasn't that bad. I just didn't care for the boots moment. It's possible for the show to be funny based on the premise without going "to the toilet" every week.

And you shouldn't assume you know anything about a show you've never seen.
(Incidentally, Pushing Daisies and his other shows went down a similar path several times. Hell, just look at what killed George in Dead Like Me.)
Chasting a show you've never seen for one single scene is about as ignorant as you can get. Especially while throwing your nose up in the air and parading around like your shit doesn't stink.
Looks like Wilfred is going to the vet in the next episode. Wonder how many bong hits he'll need to calm down before that one.
Looooooooooved it.
Oddly I survived 4 minutes of the original a couple yarns back.
Retried the Aussie version this morning.

The commercials/promo stuff for it I saw before movies the last several months were more than enough for me to see.
Well, it's quite a bit different from the original. The immediate thing is that its shot really brightly, almost surreal daydream bright, compared to the more muted SBS filming. Also, which was not much of a surprise, is that they cut out most of the swearing. Wilfred seemed to drop an Emily around half a dozen times an episodes in the original.
Wilfred is not as agro as he was in the original, but that could be in part due to the different methods they've used to get Wood in his life compared to Zwar. It will be interesting to see how they develop Ryan and Wilfred's relationship. I have to say I was worried that Wilfred had been turned into a helpful animal/spiritual guide for Ryan with pearls of wisdom to help him in life, but the final scene with the wallet had me breathing a sigh of relief.
I'll tune in again next Tuesday.

I just watched the second episode. I wasn't as laugh out loud funny as the pilot but it was still pretty funny. I will keep watching.
