Thoughts on Better Off Ted

[erpowers]

A new ABC show, Better Off Ted, premiered two Wednesdays ago. I wanted the get the thoughts of other people concerning the first episode of the show. Did people like the show? Did they think the show was funny or interesting?

In my opinion the show was okay, but not great. There were a few funny moments, but the show was not laugh out loud funny. This is not a show that I really want to watch week after week. The season seems as if it might be interesting, but after watching the first episode I am not that eager to watch the rest of the season.

In comparison shows like Still Standing and Two and a Half Men, Better Off Ted, in my opinion, was lacking. In my opinion both Still Standing and Two and a Half Men were and still are extremely funny. There were laughs throughout each episode of those shows. I did not laugh as much while watching Better Off Ted.

It does; however, seem that the critics that ABC is willing to quote disagree with me on the subject of the show. It seems that at least a few critics think the show is funny and entertaining.


So what did others think? Did you like the show? Will you watch future episodes of the show?

1. I re-watched it tonight. I wasn't sure the first time,

but really found it a great slam at corporate morans. I'll watch more.

Of course, if I really end up liking it, it will be canceled, as most everything I ever like ends up off the tube. :)

2. The good ones barely make 10 episodes.

I don't even like to start watching them anymore.

4. My viewing is almost sure cancellation. The 4400, Eureka...

No wonder I hate tv. :hi:

3. A little too droll

The Portia DelRossi carachter is wwaayyy too close to reality - especially about the mysterious "they".
