TV Review - Better Off Ted

[kriadydragon]

Hee-hee! I like this show, I really do. It's kind of like Scrubs only in an office/lab setting, full of characters with their own unique personality and a cute edge with a little bit if heart.

As is usually the case with me and new shows, I was skeptical about this show and made the assumption that Ted's character was going to be flat and shallow. But I really like him, and in a rare occurrence, actually like his daughter. She's the cutest little girl, who can act! And is totally Ted's moral center, getting him to question morally ambiguous decisions and making sure he makes the right choices. The two main scientists are hilarious and not unlike Turk and JD from Scrubs with their very gen man-love friendship going on. Ted's potential love interest is a dork and the boss is wonderfully wierd.

I think this show has great potential to be like another Scrubs, if the writers play their cards right and the stupid network doesn't cancel it before it's able to find its footing. It's a fun show that I highly recommend :)

Thanks for the review. My DVR died and I work 2nd shift so I didn't get to see it (I did manage to see Lost though). I was wondering how Better Off Ted was because it looked funny in the commercials.

I caught it last night, too, and enjoyed it very much. :)

Interesting because I found I didn't like this show. But then I'm not into Scrubs either.

Well, I like shows like this one and Scrubs, because they do well balancing comedy and angst. Plus I love wierd, plain and simple :D. I will admit that BOT still needs a bit of work, but over-all it's just a fun show that makes me smile if not laugh out loud (which is does as well).
