Default Better Off Ted

anyone else a fan of this show? i grabbed the first season after a recommendation from a friend, who is also a fan of Arrested Development like myself, and it doesn't disappoint at all. started off a little slow in the first couple of episodes, but after watching the 4th one on Racial Sensitivity i was hooked. great acting, sharp writing, and NO LAUGH TRACK. any fan of Arrested Development should check this out if they haven't yet

oh and i did try searching first as i didn't want to post a fata, but the forum disagreed with me entirely

I love this show! It's a little kooky and different than your normal sit coms. I don't know many other people that have watched it either, don't know if it hasn't gained popularity yet, or if it's off the beaten path.

I would always fast forward through the commercials until I watched it "live" one day and saw the "Veridon Dynamics" commercial at the beginning of the show somewhere, too funny!

Great show, but it's definitely more Andy Richter Controls the Universe than Arrested Development.

^^Spot on. It's a good show but not a great show like AD.

Although, the episode where they installed the new motion sensors that couldn't see black people was hilarious.

Me and the wifey had thoroughly enjoyed this show. Witty dialogue.

I think Linda is hot too...

I'm a fan.. so it'll probably die.. But it's great. The best episode so far has been the black people sensor.

It was something I watched, until they went on that long hiatus... that sucked. I'm not talking about the Summer either... they took a break in the middle of the season... completely lost interest, and forgot about it.

I forgot about it as well, but I've got all the episodes now.

Really enjoy this show, just different from your typical sitcom.

Absolute brilliant show. Great writing and I absolutely love the direction that they're heading towards.

You do know what Jabberwocky is... right?

That's what the PVR is for! I forgot about it too until the pvr picked up the new episodes this summer. It's not exactly a nail biter, so I don't expect to be hanging by a thread until the next show, but it is hysterical I think.

I totally know what Jabberwocky is, do you need me to explain it to you?
