Wilfred
Editor’s Note: Please welcome new contributor Katherine to the blog. Katherine wrote and managed the dog blog phetched, and we’re so excited to have her as part of the Dog Milk team.
My husband and I have little voices we?ve developed for our dogs Mingus and Dottie. It’s how our dogs are able to “talk” to themselves, to each other, and to us. I know I can admit that here without judgment as I?m pretty sure around 94.7% of y?all do the exact same thing. Am I right?
Wilfred, a new comedy series premiering on FX tonight, explores what can happen when we allow our canine-inspired imaginings to run wild.
In the live-action comedy, Elijah Wood (ha cha cha!) plays Ryan, a struggling, suicidal young man who befriends Wilfred, his neighbor?s dog. The schtick? Where the rest of the world sees Wilfred as a dog, Ryan — and the viewer — sees a crude, brash Australian man (co-creator Jason Gunn) in a dog suit. RECIPE FOR COMEDY, people. Madcap adventures and hilarity ensue, and with Wilfred?s guidance, Ryan is able to conquer his fears and embrace life, blah blah blah. Whatever. It?s Elijah Wood. DVR is set.
Wilfred airs tonight at 10 PM. You can learn more about the show and check out exclusive videos here.
I am so glad I found you! Phetched was my favorite blog of all time. Anyway, I cannot wait for the start of this new TV show. DVR is set at my house, too!
I can’t resist a dog with stubble, so I will definitely check it out. Would love a little audio of you and your husband’s dog talk. Maybe next time?
Hahaaaa. NO WAY, Cyn.
woohoo. setting the DVR! (P.S. we miss phetched – but are glad we get to catch you over here)
We will for sure be watching it. we have voices for our dogs too. an excited one for Roxi and a slower one for Zoe.
Loved Phetched too. : )
So glad my husband and I aren’t the only ones who speak for our dogs…thank you for making me feel less crazy.
So excited for this tonight!
We love phetched, so it’s so great to see you here! We too have voices for our pooches: Miss M is the evil cartoon character, and Mr. B kind of sounds like Puddy from Seinfeld. It is good to know we’re not the only ones.
Puddy from Seinfeld? That’s seriously hilarious.
And thanks for all of y’all for rollin’ over from phetched! Dog Milk is pretty awesome, and I’m stoked to be here!
