Top 20 New Shows of 2011: #8

My annual TV Awards, the AFT Television Awards, are given out during the summer. But this year, during both the spring and the fall, produced many impressive new television series. As 2011 closes out and 2012 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#8: Wilfred
It’s hard to find a show more offbeat than the only FX comedy I’ve ever liked, which stars Elijah Wood in the delightfully hilarious role of poor Ryan, an underachiever who sees his neighbor’s dog as a foul-mouthed Australian man in a dog suit. The show is highly funny and entirely peculiar, and Jason Gann is terrific as Wilfred. I’m intrigued to see more of this quirky series when it returns sometime next year.

Best Episode: Pilot
