Anyone else watch this show on SBS?
Watched my first episode today, found it bizarre but very funny.
For those who don't know it its about the life of a couple and her dog which is actually a man in a suit but he's really dog, but he's really a man in a suit who smokes bongs, loves ciggys and loves taking a dump.
Very bizarre and hard to work out but for those who have missed it SBS are starting the series from scratch Thursday night about 10pm I think.
Also on diwana.org for downloading for those that use bit torrents.

Was a Tropfest finalist a few years back.

A very funny short film.

But it's a bit of a one-note joke that wears thin pretty quickly...

One of the best shows on TV, refreshingly original. I luv the one where the womans old friend and his dog come to stay. Classic!!

Tis a great show, can name many great episodes, but the one where Wilfred runs away is a classic!

Yep same guy, I didn't pick it until you said it and I checked out their pics online though.

Wierd but curiously alluring and funny.

Is the guy in the dog suit the same bloke who does the NRL promo's on Fox Sports?

Don't mind the Seppo version. Dark, but genuinely funny moments.

Downloaded the 1st Aussie season this week. Very strange but quite funny.

Only seen a few eps of the local version, which were pretty good.
Read recently though the guy who plays Wilfred is being sued for damages for an incident from a few years back.

Liked the 1st season better than the 2nd season.

With the season coming to an end on Tuesday, what are people's thoughts?

I thought the last episode was great. It pieced together nicely, but still left some big questions.
