The Comic is alot more funnier than the show, plus it doesn't have moronic moron's like FOX with there finger on the button that operates the magicial-super-happy-problem-solving axe breathing down it's neck.
The series did have it's moments.

I feel humbled by your correction. Let's blame FOX.

I personally found the show very funny, although they only showed about 15 episodes over here. I'll give it an 8.

BIG BUMPI love Dilbert. I'm a teenager and have no office job, so I'm probably missing something, but that doesn't stop it from being hilarious. I mean, just look at today's comic... You don't need a job to get the hilarity of that. It's great. The show is also good. I just got the complete series on DVD. It's really well done in the style of the show IMO, and has a great theme song. I give Dilbert a 10/10.

I still buy the occasional book and watch the show on FX289 when ever possible.

I don't even remember making this thread... And ooy, that bump was hurting. Three words? Wasn't much of bump, only a few a hours worth... That comic is awesome, and very true to the whole series.

The show was probably the most twisted and inherently messed up thing I'd ever seen on television.
And that's why I loved it and bought it on dvd.

I was gonna say something about how Dilbert is of middling artistic and plot quality. Then I remembered that Dilbert, Doonsbury, Non Sequiteur and Opus are the only comics out of many many more in my newspaper that have ever made me laugh. There are worse things out there. I also really like Asok. I don't know why. Ratbert is cool too.

While Dilbert may very well be "one joke", the joke itself (about idiot authority figures and the ugly side of the corporate world) is an important one, both because it gives people dealing with crummy jobs something to laugh about, and because its simply a topic that needs to be attacked by satirists as much as possible. I don't read Dilbert regularly or anything, but whenever I read it, its good.
And bad art doesn't equal a bad comic. Hell, our hero Matt Groening can't draw, and I think we can all agree his writing still kicks ass. Dilbert at least creates a charming and unique "cheap" look. Better to have something that's "cheap" but actually has a unique look, then all the "well drawn" comics that all look the same.
That said, barely read comics these days. They've just gotten so.....well maybe they've always been bad and I didn't notice before, but in any case they're certainly bad right now. I read "The Boondocks" as much as I can but I have no patience for about 90 percent of the comics page anymore.

The series was average at best. It adapted the characters well enough, but the strip has much more of an affect on you. The show was an adequate portrayal of office life, but the strip is brilliant satire that makes me laugh every time.
That said, I voted 6 for this poll (assuming you meant how decent the series was, not the strip).

I quite like Dilbert (the comic strip, I've only seen the show once), but it's no Calvin and Hobbes. The strip posted by leelaholic halfway up the page is great though.
