Both of these are strong performances that lean more dramatic than funny.
These shows need to make a comeback!

But, despite the more serious aspects,Wilfednever forgets to be a cartoonish, gross-out comedy.
Ryan has feelings for Jenna andtheirwill-they-wont-they consistently subverts sitcom expectations.
Jennas on-again-off-again boyfriend Drew (Chris Klein) is a goofy himbo who Wilfred hates.
Wilfred is a sitcom that ran for four seasons from 2011 to 2014. The series was created by Jason Gann and Adam Zwar and is based on the Australian television show of the same name. The plot follows a young man who forms a strange relationship with his neighbor’s dog, who he sees as a crass-talking man in a cheaply-made dog suit, rather than a normal canine like everyone else.
But, onWilfred,Jenna actually goes through with marrying him.
This is just one example of how unpredictable this sitcom can be.
