Look out America. Wilfred is coming.

Here is Jason Gann, in full dog suit, in the audience of this week’s American Idol.

He is joined by Elijah Wood who appears with him in the series that premieres on FX in June.

Looks a bit like that night in 2007 when Wilfred was sitting at the 2007 Logies! Woof.

You can catch it tonight at 7:30pm on FOX8.

    There is a massive difference between copying well written fictional comedy and rehashed reality crap. Wilfred should go to air in the U.S. as it is. It would be like Aussies doing a remake of Every body Loves Raymond.

    Plus if the US adaptation is popular, the network/producers get the added upside of profiting from DVD sales, which they don’t have if they’re just screening the foreign version.

    This old argument again. Have you forgotten that Australia adapts dozens of foreign formats for our tastes. X factor idol big brother masterchef beauty and the geek amazing race top model project runway the list goes on and on

    Why? Because networks know Australian versions of these shows will rate a lot higher than US versions

    And that is exactly why US networks do it too

    Aussie audiences favour our own shows over foreign ones, and so do Americans

  11. I wonder how the american media reacted to this after the show aired. The one thing i dont like when australian shows get changed for the sake of the american audience is why? I mean we have to put up with their versions why cant they just buy the australian version and thats it, although i kind of know the answer to that already because americans cant undertand any other english accent but theirs. Just goes to show how stupid an uncultured they are.
