Wilfred

Wilfred is an Australian-American sitcom that aired from June 23, 2011 to August 13, 2014 for a total of four seasons. Based on the Australian SBS One series of the same name, it stars Elijah Wood and series co-creator Jason Gann, reprising his role of the eponymous dog. The series was adapted for the American television channel FX by Family Guy veteran David Zuckerman, and moved to FXX for its fourth and final season. Plot The series follows Ryan, a depressed ex-lawyer who is the only one able to see Jenna's (his neighbor) pet dog (Wilfred) as a man in a dog suit. Throughout the show, Ryan and Wilfred become close, spending nearly every day together. Wilfred is vulgar, a bad influence, pushy, and often mean. Wilfred pressures Ryan to learn life lessons, reveal past memories, admit shortcomings, and do things he otherwise would not do through strange and sometimes abusive methods. Cast Main Elijah Wood as Ryan Newman; a timid ex-shark lawyer. He begins the series with harsh depression and suicidal tendencies. He continues to be clingy and dependent with Wilfred, and harbors an unrequited love for Jenna. Ryan often does things that Wilfred encourages him to do. Jason Gann as Wilfred Fazio Mueller; a foul mouthed and blunt Australian accented shepherd dog that Ryan sees as a man in a dog suit but everyone else sees as a real dog, loves his owner Jenna, and is cocky and jealous of well-behaved dogs. He has a love of stuffed animals, in particular Bear & Raffi. Bear is his codependent giant stuffed teddy bear in Ryan's basement. Raffi is a stuffed giraffe that Wilfred courts by conning Ryan into whoring himself to a desperate executive woman whose car he hit. As the series progresses, Wilfred is often torn between his love for Bear and his lust for other stuffed animals. Fiona Gubelmann as Jenna Mueller. Ryan's neighbor and love interest, she is a charming TV personality who sometimes gets caught in the cross hairs of Wilfred and Ryan's shenanigans. She is constantly trying to make things work out with her on-again-off-again beau Drew. Dorian Brown as Kristen Newman; Ryan's sister, an OB/GYN, single mom, seemingly dependent on Ryan, as pointed out by Wilfred. She is hostile and rude towards people, especially Ryan. She gets pregnant and has a baby named Joffrey in the second season.
