For a while, it was the funniest show on television that no one watched. Admittedly, it takes a while to warm up to because of its stylized format. Jay Harrington as Ted Crisp talked directly into the camera, and his sexy, competitive boss Veronica was more than a tad bit strange. The first few episodes of the first season left viewers wondering what universe these people lived in, where meat could be grown in labs and geeky, socially awkward scientists like Phil and Lem could exist.
But after you discover the quirks of these characters and get the feel for the weird world that is Veridian Dynamics, the impeccable humor really shines through. The show's fast-paced, witty dialogue coupled with terrific physical humor made for more LPM (laughs per minute) than any other show on the air.
Things to love about Better Off Ted:
- The talented, funny actors. As evidenced in this outtakes clip:
- Veridian Dynamics.
- Portia de Rossi as Veronica.
- Andrea Anders as Linda.
- Phil and his run.
...and more. It's twenty-four episodes of comedic brilliance! Watch it!
