Wilfred

[Willem]

Anyone familiar with the Australian show Wilfred? They're remaking it with Elijah Wood in the States, first episode tonight.

I saw the first two Australian eps this week and it was interesting and original with a creepy vibe. Which is good

They're remaking Wilfred? Is Elijah Wood playing the man or the dog?

Wood's the man, the dog's by the same guy as the original. He's also still writing and producing to keep his baby safe

Yeah, but it looks like the original thrust of the series has been changed. I never watched it, but the original Wilfred, from what I read, was basically a man competing with his girlfriend's dog for said girlfriend's affections. This seems very different. I'm not saying it isn't good, because I haven't watched the original, and with the original co-creator in, it should have something of the spirit of the original.

I am at least relieved that the original guy is playing the dog... but I can't see the Americans letting the dog get as dirty and down as the original Aussie series. (and thats the thrust of the story).

Willthey LET a dog to seen to smoke on TV over there?

Edit: and I don't mean cigarettes.

Del, they have it on the American show's website, with a faux public service announcement on whether you've caught your dog developing a nicotine addiction.

Do they have a warning about the porn aspect of the dog humping stuffed toys?

I watched the show a few times... never really got into it.

I've never gotten into Australian comedy in a big way, period. It says something when our best efforts are Kingswood Country and Double the Fist.
