One of the dumbest, creepiest, most wrong-headed concepts for a television series ever was Rosie, a sitcom about a family that owns a talking dog that only the main kid can hear. There was an additional twist though: the talking dog was played by a dude in a dog suit. Here's a picture:

That person you hear screaming is you, by the way. It's fucking freaky when you don't even know you're doing it, isn't it? Obviously the very idea of producing a program like this is fucked up beyond words, and only a blithering jackass would actually consider putting it on the air. So leave it to FX to make the exact same show fifty years later and run it in prime time. Of course television is a lot more sophisticated these days, so Wilfred does have more farting, and they did come up with one interesting twist (the talking dog might be a hallucination brought on when the main guy took too much prescription medication), which was so intriguing that they discarded it immediately (it turns out they were sugar pills). What truly makes this program awful though is that it's yet another "comedy" where someone has an accent and says everything in a matter-of-fact, it's-obvious-to-me manner, which somehow is supposed to be funny. This shtick has been all the rage over the past few years and let me tell you, I'm fucking sick of it. And is it also supposed to be funny when the dog breaks out a bong? Or when he humps a chick's leg? Wow, a dog humping a chick's leg. I'll bet it took them all night to come up with that gag. You know, the second this episode started I should've tried to see if I could hold my breath until they trotted out the inevitable "humping someone's leg" joke. Sometimes the little challenges you devise for yourself are all that get you through the day.

Note to FX: I just want you to know that I never would have bothered shitting on this idiot program if you hadn't gotten on my last nerve over the last few weeks by constantly running ads for it during every show and on every station imaginable, including some that I'm pretty sure you don't even own. You see what you get for pushing my buttons, FX? You see what you get?
