Downward Dog has arrived. This week. ABC released the first episode of the new TV series online.
Based on the web series of the same name, the comedy “follows the day-to-day life of Nan (Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated Allison Tolman, “Fargo”), as told by her increasingly lonely and philosophical dog, Martin (voiced by Samm Hodges).”
ABC will air a sneak peek of Downward Dog after the season finale of Modern Family on May 17th.

Thank you for bringing this to my TV! I cannot wait to see the whole season! Loved the sneak peak, has me… Read more »
Just watched the first episode….not at all what I expected. I’m disappointed, I thought it would be funny and lighthearted, it’s not. It seems a bit dark and depressing. Also, I live in Pittsburgh and was very insulted by the comment from Nan’s boss about the people of Pittsburgh.
