Wilfred 109 Review- This Is Your Mother!


Ryan- "I'm not crazy."
Wilfred- "Said the man to the dog."
The jury is still out on whether "Compassion" was the funniest episode of Wilfred thus far, but there's no doubt it was the most meaningful.

It definitely had its funny moments, most of which came from Wilfred's infatuation with Ryan's mum and sudden hatred of Jenna, but it was returning to Ryan's apparent psychosis that made the episode so interesting.

The series began with Ryan going crazy, wanting to kill himself, and seeing a dog as a man in a dog suit. Sure, he has been a bit nuts throughout the season, and has continued to see Wilfred as a man, but the actual problem hadn't truly been addressed until "Compassion."

And they built it up so well with Mary Steenburgen so fabulously playing Ryan's crazy mother, which caused everybody - including Ryan - to start thinking about the idea of him ending up a nut like her.
To read the rest of my review of last night's first of two episodes of Wilfred, head over to TV Fanatic.
