Just FYI: FX's Newest Sitcom Stars Elijah Wood and an Australian Dude in a Cheap Dog Suit (Watch a Preview)

Awhile back I called comedian Louis C.K.'s "Louie" on FX "pure genius: sweet, profane, hilarious, heartbreaking and unlike anything else on TV" -- so I'm incredibly excited about the second-season premiere Thursday night at 10:30/9:30 C. But I'm also excited about another show from FX: "Wilfred," a surreal sitcom (based on an Australian hit with the same name) for Elijah "Frodo" Wood. It debuts tomorrow night -- at 10/9 C, right before "Louie." We're previewing it below as part of the MediaWorks Guide to Summer TV, our series of video cheat sheets to help you stay on top of the cultural/media conversation about the season's new shows. Here's FX's pitch: Actually, screw that . I much prefer this take by the always spot-on Rob Sheffield in Rolling Stone: Actually, screw Sheffield too! (Much as I love him.) Just watch the two brief trailers below. P.S. Joining us late? Here's the previous installment of the MediaWorks Guide to Summer TV (which links to earlier installments): Great! Starting Tonight, ABC Will Literally Torture Game Show Losers. Simon Dumenco is the "Media Guy" media columnist for Advertising Age. Follow him on Twitter @simondumenco.
