the past couple weeks, one of the tv channels here has been promoting a new show called ‘wilfred’. it’s about a girl who has a dog and a new boyfriend. the dog isn’t very thrilled about not being #1 in his lady’s life anymore.
this sounds pretty sappy. except wilfred is a guy dressed up in a dog suit who smokes & swears & makes the new boyfriend’s life miserable. it’s pretty damned funny. i’ve just tried to explain in 3 diff ways how funny a scene was in tonite’s episode (where wilfred lies on the floor, talks about last nite’s pizza not agreeing with him and smokes) and i can’t do it justice.
you can download here at the telstra site ($3 au but it seems they encode so u are actually ‘renting’ it for 48 hrs. what bullshit). or check out myspace or small clips on youtube. there’s a 6 min clip (all from the first episode i think) at atomfilms.
