Anyone else watch the premiere of Better Off Ted tonight? I thought it was really quirky and clever and fun, regardless of it’s idiotic sitcom cliché title, and distractingly Ken-doll-esque title character played by Jay Harrington. The supporting characters make the show, including the awesome Portia de Rossi and Andrea Anders who I’ve never heard of but does a delightful Liz Lemon impression. I may have been wrong about Kath & Kim, which I gave up on months ago, but here’s hoping Better Off Ted keeps up the good work.
Nope, sorry Craiggers, as usual I’ve not seen whatever TV show you’re talking about. I DID however see the premiere of “Kings” on Sunday night. Did you watch that? If so whatja think?
HUGS…
No, I did see a commercial for it a week or so ago and thought it had potential but …. I think I get too many TV channels. Its impossible to keep track of what’s on when. There are about 4 shows I watch regularly and they seem to be on Food, Comedy or Space. I just can’t keep up with other stuff. Sigh.
I recorded it, but haven’t watched it yet…
I didn’t get to see it either. I intended to DVR it, but forgot. I’ll have to check and see if they posted it on iTunes. I did catch the last five minutes or so just before Lost and it looked really good.
It was very promising. It’s written by the guy who wrote “Andy Richter Controls the Universe”, which was brilliant.
looks like this has great potential. And Portia is a hot little number!
I thought it was on thursdays so I didnt set my dvr.
… and I actually like Kath & Kim.
I actually quite enjoyed this show, thanks for the tip Craig. I downloaded right after I read your post and found the show to be actually quite entertaining and cute. It needs a bit of time to smooth out and develop the characters a bit, and it may try a bit too hard to be quirky (though not fully hitting that cute, quirky point to make it an instant hit). I’ve been waiting for a decent half hour sitcom since 30 rock alone is not enough.
Quirky, witty, , cute, a little surreal. I have flashbacks of having my heart broken with Pushing Daisies. I’m not sure I’m ready to go through that all over again.
