Fun little show. Can't get enough of the Viridian Dynamics adverts. Nice and witty, with engaging characters.
This was an interesting one for me. Something about it just rubbed me the wrong way. I love surrealism and social commentary, and this show lacks neither, believe me. The humor just rarely hit the mark for me, and the weirdness rarely feels natural, neither does the humor for that matter. It's not a very funny show. And yet I still found myself wrapped up in the ridiculously absurd world the writers have built, and even found myself quite invested in some of the characters. It was definitely unlike anything I've seen before though, and I haven't seen anything like it since. I wouldn't ever watch it again, but it was an odd show that had its own charm and a very unique identity even if it was crafted in an overly blatant hamfisted manner. If you like weird stuff, watch it. I can't say you'll love it, but I think you'll enjoy how over the top this show can be. If you aren't a fan of surrealism, you'll likely find yourself shutting this off within the first five minutes of the pilot.
Every episode had one very funny line, the rest is pure background noise.
I just kept thinking it was trying to be an American remake of IT crowd.
I feel like if this show wasn't on ABC it would do a lot better.
Or if it were made today.
They should reboot.

It's fun. Pretty superficial humor, even by sitcom standards, but funny enough in places.
I miss this show SO much. What an undervalued masterpiece.
This show was clearly ahead of it's time. ABC should bring this back it's a great on it's face satirical comedy. Viridian Dynamics "Corporate Adverts" are witty bring it together.
This was such a fun sitcom, I hope they hadn't had cancelled it.
This show has to be one of the best comedy's that was on TV. To bad it only ran for 2 seasons which I blame ABC for not advertising it. This show could have been a hit. The characters, actors, writers all did a great job on this one, it's worth watching (even multiple times). There are some episodes that you will laugh so hard on you'll cry, it's that funny!
Amazing show, so sad it only had two seasons.
Excellent show. A pitty it died so early :(
Einfach nur Hammer hätte mir durchaus weitere Staffeln gewünscht
Just like Arrested Development this is not a comedy for the masses who like toilet humour and jokes you can see coming a mile away.
Better Of Ted is an intelligent comedy show about the corporate conglomerate business in America. It's a satire on what a multi-million dollar company value's the most: money, productivity and efficiency. When it comes right to it they have no regard to people's feelings or their well being, the company comes always first.
The writing is very sharp and best of all: No laughing track! The cast is terrific and especially Portia de Rossi plays her role of the cold hearted boss who doesn't know empathy or compassion perfectly. Just like Arrested Development this show got cut way too early in my opinion.
