Title: frisky dingo
Post by: cutout on October 21, 2009, 03:43:43 AM: Never watched it when it came out a few years back, but man I'm addicted to the the DVDs. They pack in a lot of good jokes in 15 minute episodes. Anyone else a fan?

Speaking of 2006, what's this Dream Girls thing everyone's talking about? Did you hear Lindsey Lohan got a DUI, etc

The pilot was shown a couple weeks ago after It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, it was PRETTY awesome. Think Xander Cruise, but played by Jon Benjamin and a spy instead of a superhero.

As you can tell, I was a big fan of Frisky Dingo. It rather boldly threw aside a lot of the irony they always used to excuse away the craziness on Sealab 2021. But still had the same bits of real-life conversational humor that were always the real highlights.

Dang it, another show I"ve missed. I've been meaning to get around to this one, I always heard it was good...

This is the first I'm hearing of this Jon Benjamin spy show, and am now extremely excited.

Post by: erika on October 21, 2009, 11:23:39 AM: It's awesome and has a great plot. I'm watching the whole thing for the fourth time now with some friends who didn't see it.

(It is nothing like family guy. I don't even get where that's coming from.)

I'm pretty sure there are quite a few episodes streaming on the adultswim website.

I don't get that comparison at all.

Post by: erika on October 21, 2009, 12:20:39 PM: Yeah I find it incredibly dry, subtle and plot-centric. Kind of the opposite of Family Guy.

Post by: wwwes on October 21, 2009, 02:57:05 PM: It IS like Family Guy in that it's like the good moments of Family Guy that aren't offensive or cheap, which isn't really a detraction.

(How much Family Guy is actually in Family Guy? Five minutes per episode? {The rest is all cutaways.} {{brackets are the parenthesis of parenthetical statements}} It's like that in terms of sensibility. I'd have to go watch both to point to it, but it might have something to do with it's meta-quality and it's insertion of having real life moments in unreal situations)
