I bought the "Bender Head" complete collection a while back and supplemented it with the following Season 6(?) vol. 1 boxset. But after that, the episodes started to suck (what would have been in vol.2). I guess I should go back and view the rest of them at some point.

Great show but I think it's time to put it to bed; I'd rather see what Groenig can come up with next.

I know exactly what you mean, I put that down to the fact he is a dog and it's normal to have a foreign breed. Do we ever find out what breed he is? I'm surprised the Aussie Ryan is weak, as you say. Then again Elijah Wood is king of the underplay, he does SO well in this I think. Also it seems the Aussie one branches out a bit more for Wilfred, but I suppose there's time if they make another series. Glad you're getting to enjoy it all over again anyway

Hey, just watched the first episode of the US Wilfred. I think it's possibly better than the Aussie version, which looks like a rough draft compared to the finished US product. Elija Whatsisname is a much better human than the Aussie version.

I love the way they don't make any effort to explain why he's an Aussie bloke, and don't make any tired Aussie stereotype gags, but he references Australian things like eating possums - which dogs do, by the way.

NO!!! I've tried to buy the DVD boxsets but you can't get them here yet, but I imagine that will change soon. That was as a present for my mate for christmas though, I'll just download them once season 1 US version is finished on TV. I'm sure it'll be funnier

Have you seen the original Aussie series, AC? Worth a look. I sifted the first scene from the first episode a while ago.

They're on pirate bay, from memory. I'm in two minds about whether they're funnier than the US ones, but it was my favourite Australian comedy by a long margin. I haven't seen too much of the US version, but I think Elijah Wood does a pretty good job (the Aussie version of him was pretty weak).

The Aussie episodes seem a bit darker, but the real comedy is in Wilfred himself - he's so good. I've just secured the full US series, so will have a good compare. I expect it to be more tightly written and slightly less ominous, but hopefully retaining the charm of the original. I hear they had a full team of writers, when in the Oz version he pretty much wrote a first draft, filmed it, went onto the next one...

Hahaha, brilliant. I wonder who's richer out of the two now? My boyfriend forced me into CYE by buying me the boxset which I loved!

I think I need to find someone with a kith boxset so I can borrow the dvds.

Sorry to step in at the end of the discussion, but regarding the gospels that didnt make it and different bible versions, I used to wonder about that and did some research years ago.

Given that the early gospels were all being hand copied by people who usually werent all that literate and were doing so in secret under pain of death (often), given the different areas/congregations around the Mediterranean separated by what were great distances, differences were widespread, some were minor, spelling and punctuation changing meanings, others were major changes that suited one particular christian sects interpretation. When time came to put em all together, they had to choose what was agreed upon by most people.

Naturally this pissed some people off, made others happy, and ensured endless conspiracy theories, and careers for people like Dan Brown

Incidentally this also happened in Judaism (at least according to the History channel, I havent talked to any ancient scholars about that)and others religions. Guess you cant suit all of the people all of the time.

I would compare it to DVD boxsets, you've got your theatrical cut, your directors cut, extended version, unrated version etc. Pick the one you like best or don't.

Edit:
BTW I dont claim to be an expert on anything so I only paraphrase what I've read/heard from people who do know what they are on about

One of my mom's favorite TV shows, so I got to see a lot of it growing up. And am a better person for it. I highly recommend picking up the Medicine and Martinis boxset if you get a chance.

Holy shit, it has that much swearing in it? I totally bought this boxset as a christmas present for my mum

When i bought this on DVD, i got the Boxset that included the soundtrack CD. Nice

80 dollar boxset coming to meeeee!

For the uninitiated, the entire first episode of Spaced is on YouTube all in one. After that, you should buy the boxset, there's a good chance you'll wanna watch, watch and watch again.

Indeed... Can someone pass Krupo a paper bag, I think hes hyperventilating. Tis true tho, buying the boxset DVD was prolly the best thing I did for my brain. I insit y'all go watch both movies back to back .. twice. That'll sortchya ails!

This is from an easter egg hidden in the first season of DOCTOR WHO boxset.
