Appearing as a mid season replacement on UPN's schedule in January 1999 Dilbert's inaugural first season was an uneven but respectable workplace sitcom that tried to forge an identity for itself in the crowded prime time animated field.......and then season two happened. The show's second season took a massive dive in quality with episodes no longer playing to the show's core strengths of lampooning the idiosyncrasies and inanities of the business world and instead focusing on really bizarre nonsensical plot-lines that were more strange than funny. Easilly the worst of these episodes is the second season's only two parter "pregancy" and "delivery" wherein Dilbert builds a rocket to search for aliens(because reasons) but said rocket instead gathers semen samples from cows, engineers, a robot, and aliens returns to Dilbert to go up his ass, gets him pregnant which in turn leads to a paternity trial against Dilbert by the providers of the semen presided over by Stone Cold Steve Austin because UPN would sometimes cross promote the WWE with their other shows despite their being no good reason to do so. If you're even remotely curious in checking out Dilbert, stick with the first season, the second season is a classic example of a show actively sabotaging itself.
