Dilbert (1999–2000)
4/10
Better in print than on my TV
6 June 2006
Dilbert belongs on the printed page. Bringing it to life on TV wasn't the same. Not sure if it was the voices or the long plots or what. Dilbert is fine being a 3 pane comic each day in print versus on screen. Kind of like an SNL movie. SNL movies are rarely successful because they are taking what is popular from a shorter version and moving to a longer and larger version. Comedy is quick and short. Drawn out comedy is not what it's about. Dilbert should've been a SHORT animated series like the Ambiguously Gay Duo on SNL - every now and then, throw in a short in a sitcom and there you have it. But making it into a full-fledged sitcom is not what Dilbert is all about. Glad this show got cancelled.
