Dilbert is a cubicle dwelling employee for a large soulless corporation. Each episode the show goes on many adventures that will leave you waiting for more. One simple phrase to describe Dilbert would be laugh out loud. The comical adventures that each story have are very well written by expert writers and voiced by an astonishing cast. The series is mainly about the main character Dilbertand his daily life at work. Although it is not always your typical days events that happens at the office. One of the many features this office has are little people living in the basement who apparently steal the company's markers and uses them to get high. Story lines expand from the world coming to an end for Y2K to the Dogbert trying to enslave the world! Dilbert truly is a show that you only see once in every 30 channels!

Characters:

Dilbert: Dilbert is your average "tech buff." He has a dog named Dogbert who frequently out-wits him. When push comes to shove you will most likely see Dilbert on the ground. He is an engineer, but often questions if he was meant to have that career. Often he tries to get his own office away from the fellow employees, but every scheme fails for one reason or another. Dilbert is the average struggling guy trying to get by at work one day at a time.

Dogbert: Dogbert is not your average dog. In fact he is nothing like a dog at all. On the outside he may look like "man's best friend", but on the inside he wants to rule man. In many episodes Dogbert tries to control the world, but in each episode his scheme fails for one reason or another. Although Dogbert may seem cute and fuzzy he is far from it. The relationship is basically the opposite between Dilbert and Dogbert. Though these two often disagree on many matters they always have each other's back….or at least most of the time.

Pointy-Haired Boss: He's every employee's worst nightmare. He has the laziness of Homer Simpson and the wacky comments of Peter Griffin. When those two are mixed watch out! Although he is often away from work he is the boss and as the boss he has the most power at the office. Now stupidity and leadership don't always work well together so just when you thought you figured him out he will surprise you with some wacky antic!

Alice: She is one of Dilbert's co-workers. Being the only female employee in the department, she puts up with a lot. Occasionally the guys at work may step out of their place, but she will always take care of that with some violence. Her cubical is located to the left of Dilbert's, but that doesn't stop her from making frequent visits. Certainly Alice is a force not to reckon with.

Wally: He is every employee's worst nightmare! He is very lazy and only goes to work just to be there thus receiving his pay check. He tries to use schemes to receive quick cash, but usually they don't work. He later learned in the series that trying to save up sick days for early retirement doesn't always work. The lesson learned in that was that over a period of time those days expire. Over all Wally is pretty much a small guy with a big mouth that frequently gets him in trouble.

Broadcast history:
Mon: 8:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Tue: 8:30 PM - 9:00 PM

Like many great shows Dilbert was short lived, but its memory lives on in eternity. Now, many are able to watch Dilbert on DVD and relive every wacky memory that the show has to offer. Not only has Dilbert become one of the most famous comic strips like Garfield, Peanuts, Blondie, etc. etc. but has become somewhat of a "hope symbol" to the daily working person. So pop the DVD in and let your bones ache from laughter!

Dilbert is based off of the hit comic strip series of the same name created by Scott Adams.

• Family Guy, Futurama,...Dilbert?

  "Family Guy" came back, and "Futurama" is coming back.  For a long time, "Dilbert" was still shown on Comedy Central (I believe) on a regular basis, even though there are only 30 episodes.  So, if they brought it back, would you watch?

• Why was Kathy Griffin uncredited?

  Every episode lists Jackie Hoffman in the credits, who does not appear in every episode as Dilmom. Meanwhile, Kathy Griffin is in every episode as Alice, but her name is not in the credits. Why is it like that?

  Dilbert is a great cartoon series, not at a level for kids, but great for lovers of Dilbert hide « show »

  This series, based upon the Dilbert comic strip by Scott Adams. The way that each episode begins with a comedic sketch that sets up what will occur later on the episode. It is also great to watch the pointy-haired boss toy with the lives of the engineers under his watch. From the creation of the Gruntmaster 6000 and all the twists and turns that it goes through from Pointy-Haired Boss' idea to design, to the competition for the prototype of the Gruntmaster 6000, and to the trial through hell that the Gruntmaster 6000 goes through during testing. The episode with the testing on a "typical" family and that causing a black hole was probably my favorite episode. Something else I enjoyed was the trips to Elbonia. They were the most amusing episodes of the series. Overall, Dilbert, is a great cartoon series and very enjoyable.

  6.1 Fair

  I love Dilbert but somehow he fails to make the transformation from comic strip to cartoon without losing much of the humour. hide « show »

  Just about every worker can symphonise with at least one of the characters in Dilbert. It seems like everyone has had a clueless 'pointy haired' boss or been frustrated by co-workers traits that are well played out in the comic strips but these characters fail to connect in this animated version. The larger than life characters that provide the puns and punch lines in the comic strip version are sadly just background for much of the time in the TV version and thus it lacks much of the edge that makes Dilbert great.
  
  It seems that the shows producers have been unsure who their audience is, where they thinking that they where making a childs cartoon and not realizing that it is adults who live in Dilbert's world. The end result is a show that doesn't seem to meet anybodies expectations.

  7.7 Good

  Nothing else is like the brilliance that is Dilbert! hide « show »

  I had only seen the cartoon a few times, before watching one episode of the series, after this, I went and brought the DVDs, the show is great, the animation, while being simple, is just great. The opening is great, the plots are hilarious and also the sureal meets smart humour take, is something that is exactly what i like. Dilbert had at least a season or 2 left in it, maybe even more. The comic strip is great, as well, but the series is just so brilliant. My favourite character is Dogbert, he's hilarious, and is a slightly more evil version of me, he's great, I also like Catbert, :lol:, I roll around on the floor cacking myself, everytime he comes on screen, he's a classic.
  
  All in all, I love this, if you see the DVD buy it, heck buy it for your friends even, that's how much I love the show.

  Its the awesome animated versions of the classic newspaper daily comic strip. hide « show »

  The show dilbert is brilliant. I dont know Why the weird UPN canceled this after only 30 episodes. I really hope that the Cw will bring back this show because beleive me this is a good show. Dont go thinking because its about working at an office that its gonna be boring and only for people who work at an office. No thats not quite it, It really still has its adult cartoons fetures to it. Like When ALice was looking for a boyfriend through a magazine that showed prizon inmates. Thats what I mean. So yeah this show is worth watching.

  9.6 Superb

  Dilbert is soooooooooooooooooooooo good! hide « show »

  dilbert is an office comedy that is truly remarkable. i really like this show because it depicts what a real office life is like . . . maybe.
  
  The boss who has'nt a clue, you co-workers that betray you and act as your best friend at the same time, the intern who is completely useless and the dog who is so perfect at everything it makes you life sem completly worthless, wait! what was that last one?
  
  This is pretty much what the life of the man with nothing to lose or gain is about. stressfull job, uncaring mother, outshowing pet. Dilbert is this man and he must contend with these problems every day of his life
