The U.S. version of Australian TV show Wilfred is probably best described as a "real actor version" show of the genre Family Guy, without Lois and the kids.
Oddly enough, Wikipedia page for the U.S.does not give us the expected clear premise.
The show is about a dog and his friends, which might make you think it is suitable for children.
It is not!
So:
Wilfred is a dog owned by a young woman named Jenna. One day, she leaves the dog with her single young neighbor Ryan while she is off to work.
Ryan finds he can interact with Wilfred like with any other human. They talk, they squabble, they smoke pot together, etc.
To everybody else, including Jenna, Wilfred is just a dog.
The rest follows naturally as well as rather not quite naturally.
Think hilarious, raucous, gross, endearing plus "they can't be doing this....oh my god, they are doing it".
The series is set in L.A., pretty low tech, with the most expensive or noteworthy items we will mention here being a convertible, a shovel, and several jars of peanut butter.
The cast of the show is one never ending - hopefully - line up of great actors from comedy shows of the past two decades. My name is Earl brother Randy, Malcom in the Middle's mom, The Office manager Andy, and many more.
Another question to us as we read through the Wikipedia article to the list of countries where the show airs was how some of these countries handle the contents.
If we manage to get hold of information on dropped episodes or dubbing editing, we'll add it here.
