"Frisky Dingo" [Reed-Thompson, 2006] Season 1 [Oct. '06- Jan. '07]

I have always been skeptical of this show, since I never got its awkward sense of humor for quite some time. And indeed, I condemned it to failure in execution in an earlier column I wrote, but I can now safely take that back. It seemed just too good to be true-- that this show could actually pull off what so many others have tried and failed at. But it can-- and it's only a little bit weaker here than in its astonishingly brilliant second season. Grade: A MINUS
