Excellent but underrated film

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This show is absolutely wonderful, one of my favorite shows to watch when I'm sick from school or have down time. My only regret is that it was canceled after 30 episodes! I have been a fan of the comics and books by Scott Adams (if you like this show, I recommend to you "Stick to Drawing Comics Monkey Brain", a compilation of his funniest random works), and I was delighted when I saw this show on Netflix. At first I was skeptical if it would follow most other TV shows based on newspaper cartoons (or in other words suck), but after a few episodes I was sucked in, I enjoyed the funny and creative plot in each episode, and quickly raced through all thirty episodes. Props to Scott Adams and crew for writing, producing, and creating such a great representation of Dilbert for the small screen!

As mentioned in other posts, this series is definitely a love/hate relationship with most loyal Dilbert fans.My worst fear when I first started watching the show was the voice-overs. The transition from comic to TV was amazing in my eyes. Beyond being very truthful to Scott Adams initial idea, the voice-overs matched almost perfectly what I imagined the cast of the comic to sound like.The TV series adds to what the comic portrays - a humorous series of jokes that are exclusive to those that fall out of the "In-duh-vidual" category (those who are familiar with DNRC and Dilbert.com will understand what I mean).My particular favorite quote, after Alice reads Dilbert's love poem to Lena, the last line being "My passions exceed, (pi)(r)^2 times infinity", she comments saying that he is crazy, and further that the line is meaningless if r is undefined. Just hilarious. Thank you so much Scott Adams, you are my hero.If you enjoy the Dilbert comic, you will most likely enjoy this series. Watch it. NOW!

Other than a handful of minor grievances and inaccuracies, Dilbert the series reflects its source rather faithfully – usually my complaints spawn from individual instances that pop up every now and again in an episode such as Dogbert referring to his paws as hands in 'the fact.' The Elbonian giant slingshots that pass as air travel never get any screen time. The lines forming Wally's glasses were too thin in season 1. The only consistent complaints I have are that Alice doesn't seem as level headed in the series as she does in the strip, we never see the infamous 'Fist of Death,' and Loud Howard is a mainstay character. (yes, I'm a nit-picky perfectionist who notices these things.) Granted, when you jump mediums, changes are inevitable; I feel that these were not necessary for the transition, and feel that the creators passed up a great opportunity for more humorous situations.The fact Dilbert & Dogbert have mouths? That's an understandable jump considering the new medium, and really, there's no way around it. Putting a voice to the characters took a bit of getting used to since I imagined something different after years of reading the strip, but that's not a complaint really. In fact, I think the voices for most characters are appropriately done (Gilbert Gottfried's cameo as a troll? Classic).The show hits home exactly where the strip does - when it sticks to the office. I love the relentless mockery of the business world, the stupidity of management and company policies, and the corporate trends that resemble bandwagon mentality. The various commentaries in Dilbert regarding business, consumerism, and the general public are dead on with its accuracy, and I have a blast watching. When Dilbert wanders away from engineering-related subject matter, however, the humor quickly abandons him.

I am a big fan of the comic strip, and I thought that the show would be just like the comic, but, alas, I was partially wrong. On one hand, the show is downright funny; no use in denying that. On the other hand, some of the humor found in the show is a bit...well, something you wouldn't find in the Sunday comics. I wouldn't go as far as to say"adult", so let's say that the show rating would be PG-13.Don't get me wrong, though. I think that the show faithfully follows the show. In short, you'll like the show if you can stand some of the humor that pops out sometimes, and the opening sequence is impressive. It's a sigh of relief to know that Dilbert and Dogbert have mouths after all.
