    Stuffed with absurd situations and piles of bad taste, Wilfred is the strangest new show on TV. And the funniest.

    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.

    Wilfred would appear to be crafted from a can't-miss, indie-hipster aesthetic, which may be part of the problem: The show is cool to the point of being cold. The bark is all snark. It doesn't work.

    It tries to be funny, when it just comes off as a weird combination of The Office's uncomfortable moments and some other bizarre **** It probably is a hoot in Australia, but here, in my mind, it's only marginally funny. A few chuckles doesn't exactly compensate for the lack of intrigue and care for anything. Disappointing would be an understatement.… Expand

    I tried a couple of shows but could never get into it. I remember trying to watch Dilbert on TV but found that extremely painful (too much like real life) -- perhaps that is my problem with this show.… Expand
