Better of Ted is a slightly more intelligent comedy show. Don't worry, it's quite accessible if you're too tired to think. At the same time you're not treated like an idiot. It's about the wacky little adventures and mannerisms in a department of a high tech company.The jokes aren't entirely one dimensional and are good enough to give you a few good chuckles per episode. I like the characters, two nerdy scientists, a manager, an office worker and even a higher manager, which is the awesome looking Portia de Rossi with her "power hair" to accentuate her cold heart. Those are the main characters.It quickly becomes apparent that sex and sexual tension will be a big deal throughout the season, though the first season didn't push it to the limits. Season two however goes over the top. It became annoying fast, and besides that, the jokes were far less amusing. To me it was clear the writers were out of ideas.The first season started off problematic in a different area: the first three to five episodes were loaded with Jewish and pro-gay references for no other reason than that a big part of the production is Jewish (and probably gay too). But somewhere as of the fifth episode or so, this annoyance was drastically reduced and often even absent. So I figure somebody intervened at some point, noticing it went out of hand.Clever series are most welcome and this one was well on its way to be just that. But then it lost its momentum entirely. That's the main reason I couldn't rate this title beyond five stars. The second season wasn't going in any direction - it was merely dragging it out with more sex and relationship "jokes".

Man, this show is right up there with my husband and I's favorite all time shows, but we didn't even know about it until Netflix suggested it! It is right up there with Arrested Development. I am so bummed that this show didn't last, I feel like not enough people knew about it and it would have been a huge hit with better advertising. Bring it back if you can, people, you have a new group of fans to follow!! This show has great, tasteful, simple and silly humor, it is easy to follow, and people can just jump right in at any episode without needing to know much back-story. I also love the Veridan Dynamic commercials, they are hilarious! Thank you for the laughs everyone, and I(as well as many others) really wish you were still around!

wow, this show was effing genius. it's funny, smart and brilliant, and has some great acting all around. i do not understand how they could cancel this, i guess some people wouldn't know quality/brilliance/awesomeness even if it hit them over their retarded heads.if you haven't watched any of it, i recommend you do. it's about this giant sciency megacorporation, that's above good and evil, with its crazy inventions and workers, and this plot is used to criticize corporate America, but not in that lame-ass anticapitalist hack way, but with crazy stories and brilliant dialogue..... in two words, brilliant and hilarious

Better Off Ted is a great show. Unfortunately I, like everyone else, didn't watch it while it was on-air and now it's been canceled due to low viewership. The characters are all very likable and interesting, but also wacky and just plain fun. One of my favorite parts of this series is how characters develop and there is actual continuity in the story, previous episodes are referenced later and such. In other screwball comedies like Scrubs I felt the show went on with a story and feigned character development but by the later seasons the characters were still making the same stupid mistakes and had the same character flaws. I realize writing a comedy show with continuity can be difficult, because it's easier for them to ignore realism for the sake of laughs, but Better Off Ted actually did this well. Being set in a completely unrealistic world in the dystopian mega-corporation helps this, I'm sure, and the company's commercials display this very well.
