Wilfred
BY TYLER ZEUTENHORST
Complete with a talking dog, FX’s “Wilfred” was one of the hottest shows released during this year’s summer TV season.
This comedy depicts the life of an awkward young man named Ryan (Elijah Wood) whose life changes when he develops a friendship with his neighbor’s dog Wilfred (voiced by Jason Gann).
Though seen as a simple canine to the outside world, Ryan finds in Wilfred a blunt companion with an Australian accent. Wilfred’s unique, yet honest personality teaches Ryan how to react to and live in this crazy world.
Many of these learning experiences come from the comical escapades in which the two are involved.
If you can handle some language and on-screen drug usage, you should check it out at 10 p.m on Thursdays.
