    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!

    I just recently had the opportunity to watch Dilbert. My brother came home with the DVD Collection. It took me about a week to watch all 30 episodes but I was hooked from the very first one.When I was about to start high school, I applied to a special business high school and got in. But turned them down to go to regular high school with my peers. For years since I was so grateful that I decided not to go to that business school, I didn't want a office job when I got older, I didn't want a 9 to 5. But after watching Dilbert, I'm craving that experience. That life seems so exciting for some strange reason. So now coincidently I had made up my mind to be a Public Administration major before the show and its Cubical life and opted out. I'm so happy that I found Dilbert. Its weird but I look forward to it.Well my brother left, and took the collection with him. So I, on Sunday, scoured my newspaper and found the comics, searched for Dilbert and ripped it out. It's now hanging on my wall. I love the humor of Dilbert because its so honest. But my favorite thing of all is the opening sequence, it took me a while to figure it out, but Dilbert is what we become in life.I'll treasure my Dilbert learning experience for life.

    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 have to say, i was a little disappointed by the first couple of episodes because i am a tremendous fan of the strip, and i was almost considering not continuing to watch. however, i stuck with it and was pleasantly surprised to say the least. it is quite funny, timely, and very entertaining. Definately recommended. many episodes surprise wonderfully.8.5/10
