Family Guy's David Zuckerman has been named by FX to adapt the Australian comedy Wilfred for pilot along with Jason Gann. Gann co-created and starred in the original. It's a live action comedy about a girl, her dog Wilfred and her boyfriend, Adam. The twist is that only Adam can see that Wilfred is actually a man dressed in a blatant dog costume:
“Wilfred is about a guy, the girl next door, and mixed-breed dog, Wilfred, who is part Labrador retriever and part Russell Crowe on a bender,” said Zuckerman. “Jason Gann is one of the funniest, most twisted minds I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, despite being a foreigner and therefore untrustworthy. And I’m thrilled to be part of the FX family -- their support and enthusiasm has been extraordinary.”
