Dilbert TV Series

InformationGeek · January 06, 2010, 07:35:35 PM

I remember vaguely seeing the show a couple of years ago, but I never got any of the jokes since they were targeted for an older crowd and people who could relate in someway to the situation. Anyways, I got the show for Christmas and I really enjoy it a lot! It has one of the best voice cast I have ever seen for a show: Daniel Stern, Chris Elliot, Larry Miller, Kathy Griffen, Jackie Hoffman, Tom Kenny (the voice of Dog from Catdog and Spongebob), and Maurice LaMarche (The voice of Brain from Pinky and the Brain).

For those of you who have seen it, what did you think of it? I like it a lot!

I remember that my dad used to watch it because he was in a similar job situation that Dilbert had. You know, the dreaded cubicles. He read the comics too. I've watched the show a couple of times and it's pretty good. I used to have a computer game based on the show, it was called Dilbert's Desktop Games.

I might still have it somewhere, but since I've converted to Linux it's no good to me. If I ever find the disc I might sell it or trade it or something.

I remeber the part I liked best was the opening music. Some sort of weird techno science meets Tales from the crypt. Sadly, the epsidoes didn't replicate the humor from the strips as well.

The opening I believe was composed by Danny Elfman.

I watched an episode or two, never really got into it. I don't think it was as funny as the strips either. They were observational, and the TV show was episodic. It was OK but didn't really work for me.

It was entertaining. But then, I didn't have any sort of video game system besides a computer until I was 13 or so... I had this when I was 11 or 12. My idea of good may be a little different from others.

I enjoyed the show, and I think they did a pretty good job of taking what was essentially unadaptable material and turning it into a show. Great intro too. There are some pretty weak episodes, but I remember finding a few quite funny.

I still have this game around somewhere, It was pretty decent as a time waster and was fairly funny. But it was never really meant to be anything more than that.
