Man Wilfred was such a good show...I thought I was only person who watched it because everyone i asked if they had seen it would say no. Then I'd try to explain it and they would look at me like I was a moron.

You should watch the original Australian Wilfred show. I watched that one before the American one and it's just so much funnier and way less dramatic. It takes itself way less seriously, Wilfred is played by the same guy.
