Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Dalbert Pringle Originally presented as a newspaper comic-strip - I found that the decidedly unfunny situations that took place in this TV show's half-hour, animated episodes were all (much to my annoyance) consistently milked completely bone-dry.Repeatedly - I found that every single character (including Dogbert) in these dull, flat episodes were all a totally unlikable bunch. Indeed.It sure seemed to me that this show's sole idea of humour, unfortunately, thrived on the callousness of sneering cynicism where everyone was far too eager to cut his fellow man down without even batting a single eyelash.All-in-all - I could not, for the life of me, relate to any of these vile characters, whatsoever. They were all downright sickening and despicable bores right to their very core.

cobra-8 This was one of the only comedies I've ever seen that has ever been able to successfully blend such ridiculous premises with such clever humour. Especially for a cartoon, most of which are so mind-numbingly idiotic that you feel insulted watching them.The characters, all outlandish and over-the-top, are well developed and larger-than-life in their own individual ways, as opposed to clones of one weird character that might make the show boring and repetitive. Dogbert in particular stands out as a shining example. Even guest characters like Bob Bastard (one of my personal favourites) and Lena the Warrior Engineer are superbly fleshed out and captivating.The plot lines are all so far-fetched and zany that they could easily slip into the 'Family Guy' genre but the writers, goofy as their ideas may be, infuse the madness with smart jokes, witty dialogue, and even some well-executed slapstick. And they can pull off both kinds of comedy in such a way that they compliment, rather than clash with, each other.Unfortunately, this sort of humour was just too much of an acquired taste for the average audience to grasp. The failure of Dilbert and the success of cartoons such as Family Guy are proof that there really isn't much of a future for intelligent comedy - the general TV- watching masses are simply, sorry to be so blunt, too thick.Too bad. I miss this show a lot.

Tommy Nelson Stars: Daniel Stern as Dilbert. Chris Elliot as Dogbert. Kathy Griffin as Alice. Gordon Hunt as Wally. Larry Miller as the Boss. Jackie Hoffman as Dilmom. Tom Kenny as Ratbert and Ashook. Jim Wise as Loud Howard. Jason Alexander as Catbert. Maurice La Marche as the Trash Man.This was one of those gem shows that for some reason only picked up a select cult audience. Because of that it was canceled, even though it was a great show. It was about workaholic Dilbert and his life in his cubicle. His closest friends are Dogbert, his talking pet dog that's smarter than him, Alice and Wally, his buddies from work and the mysterious trashman who always disappears after giving advice. I highly recommend you buy the DVD because this was a great show, and its a shame only 2 seasons were produced.My rating: 9 out of 10. 30 episodes. TV PG.

jaywolfenstien 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.
