Trivia:

Dilbert and Dogbert don't have mouths in the comic strip, but the animators needed to give them mouths for their dialog. They compromised by giving them mouths only when they spoke. Since the show went off the air, a mouth has been drawn on Dilbert in the comics, usually to show either surprise, screaming, or anger. (Dogbert, however, continues to be drawn mouth-less.)

Quotes:

Dogbert:I'll bet you twenty bucks that giving doesn't feel good.
Dilbert:You're on my cynical friend.
Dogbert:To settle the bet, give me forty dollars and see if it feels good.
Dilbert:That would NOT feel good.
Dogbert:Then give me twenty dollars because you lost the bet.
Dilbert:Did I just make a bet where I would lose twenty dollars either way?

Curse you U.P.N.

The show was a non stop laugh riot, much like the comic strip. The show perfectly captured the spirit of the comic strip, which is why it was so good. Unfortunately, the show got axed and taken off the air. Despite what people who didn't like the show would say, it was not cancelled because of the writing. Lousy programming is what really did the show in. When U.P.N. moved the series to that terrible time slot for it's second season, ratings dropped hard and fast. The show really was worth watching.
