"Whose Line Is It Anyway?" is an American improvisational comedy show that first aired in 1998. The show is based on a British version that aired in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The American version features a group of four comedians who perform comedic skits and games based on audience suggestions.

Wilfred is a dog. Wilfred is a man in a dog suit. Either or both may be true but one thing for certain is the story idea and the concept just seems to work for this dark comedy. The Aussie actor Jason Gann (Rats and Cats, Kenny) is Wilfred the eponymous dog whose owner Sarah (played by Cindy Waddingham from I Love You Too and Lowdown) along with her boyfriend Adam (award winner Adam Zwar from Lowdown, The Wedding Party), who looks at Wilfred and sees him as a man who just happens to wear a dog suit. The idea came from an original and award winning short film written by Jason Gann and Adam Zwar. A very popular and AFI award winning television program in Australia which aired there in 2007 and again in 2010, Wilfred is now airing in the U.S. Editor Debbie Lee told them "Go as far as you want with it, the more bent the better" and so they did. This TV program based upon a short film has its silly moments but overall is funny and entertaining due to good acting and writing from its young stars.

Enlightened brings the very talented Laura Dern to television as Amy Jellicoe, an executive who has found her job and her life to be too much to bear. When she suffers from a breakdown which just happens to be a very public embarrassing situation for her, she finds she must attempt to put her life back together by going through rehabilitation. Watch for Diane Ladd who plays Amy's mother, Helen Jellicoe (she is Dern's real life mother). Amy spends three months in Hawaii where she undergoes therapy to help with her problems, then returns home to face reality and the group of co-workers she embarrassed herself by breaking down in front of, living with her mother who is never short on unwelcome advice, and a lazy ex-husband (Luke Wilson) who enjoys his "recreational" drugs too much. Laura Dern is known for her roles in Jurassic Park, Rambling Rose, & Wild At Heart. Actress Diane Ladd has starred in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Primary Colors, & Wild At Heart. She and actor Bruce Dern are Laura's parents. Luke Wilson has been seen in 3:10 To Yuma, Blades of Glory, & Death at a Funeral; and he is brother of Owen Wilson.

From the 8th of March, 1993 until the 28th of November, 1997 a "socially awkward" yet somehow lovable duo with the unlikely names of Beavis and Butthead ruled the MTV airwaves. The pair loved heavy metal rock and roll and hailed from the fictionalized town of Highland, Texas where they grew up with no apparent adult supervision (think Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus). Highland High School teachers didn't quite know how to deal with the rather dim-witted pair"¦ that is when the two even bothered to attend school. This may be simply a lesson in how not to survive the teen years or perhaps a cautionary tale of how to be obnoxious and perverted while giving commentary on popular music videos. In any case those around Beavis and Butthead tend to get in harms way while the "boys" skate free. As in the time Butthead fired a rifle that resulted in hitting an airliner (a Boeing 747). With part time jobs at the local Burger World, among others, and still wearing their AC/DC t-shirts they manage to survive as they provide bawdy comments for today's reality TV shows like Teen Cribs, UFC fights, and Jersey Shore.
