Title: Wilfred Post by: Tale on March 30, 2010, 07:36:21 AM This is a comedy. It is hard to explain.
Sarah invites new boyfriend Adam home and their relationship gets serious. Her beloved dog, Wilfred, immediately develops a rivalry with Adam. Here's the thing: Adam and the viewer see Wilfred as a man in a dog suit. Adam can talk with him. Sarah and everyone else simply see a dog. All other animals are also played by people in animal suits. Wilfred really is a dog. Apart from talking to Adam, smoking pot and watching DVDs, the rules governing the Wilfred character are the same as a dog. He pines for Sarah when she's away, he pees on things, sniffs other dogs' butts, attacks the postman, etc. It's NSFW due to constant strong language (dogs don't have rules) and full frontal nudity (nudists). Here's a taste (hopefully not geoblocked): http://player.sbs.com.au/programs#/programs_08/sneakpeektv/sneakpeektv/playlist/Wilfred-New-Series/ Quick YouTube clip of attacking the postman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd5cmCSaik0 Full episodes (if not geoblocked): http://www.sbs.com.au/shows/wilfred/watchonline/page/i/1/h/Watch-Online/ The second series is currently on SBS in Australia. It has been bought by US cable network IFC. Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: Vaiti on September 19, 2011, 12:31:05 AM Just started watching this, on the third episode. I'm enjoying it so far, if you're looking for something new to watch you should check this out.
Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: Tale on September 19, 2011, 09:01:25 AM Are you watching the original, which I was posting about, or the US version (http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=20959.0) (same guy in the same dogsuit, everything else different)?
Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: Vaiti on September 19, 2011, 09:10:05 AM US version actually.

Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: HaemishM on September 19, 2011, 12:09:47 PM I watched the whole season and loved it. I don't know how it differed from the Aussie version, but the US version was pretty damn funny and weird.
Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: Samwise on September 19, 2011, 02:19:37 PM Fight Club, but Tyler Durden is a dog. I'm loving this.
Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: Tale on June 06, 2012, 07:06:40 PM The guy who plays Wilfred in both versions has been ordered to pay $325,000 in damages for assaulting a bus driver (http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/celebrity/wilfred-actor-left-bus-driver-homeless-ruined-court-20120606-1zwoy.html).
Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: Surlyboi on June 06, 2012, 08:10:29 PM Why am I not surprised...
Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: jgsugden on August 14, 2014, 12:36:32 PM US version just ended.
Disappointed in the ending, to be honest, but the series in general was worth a watch. Non-US version, as usual, was a bit better. Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: Threash on August 14, 2014, 04:22:12 PM I wasn't disappointed with the ending, it was the only thing they could have done.
Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: Threash on August 14, 2014, 04:30:26 PM Also cried like a baby at the first shot of real Wilfred.
Title: Re: Wilfred Post by: jgsugden on August 14, 2014, 06:03:32 PM I think there were other ways to do the same explanation that would have felt more like an ending...
