This is one of the best comedy’s ever…I hope it come back with a new season.
It’s smart comedy…I laugh through the entire episodes and have taken to using the quotes at work…it’s hilarious to see the real life reactions.

my fiance and I love Better Off Ted. He’s the kind of person who never laughs out loud at anything, and he’s always laughing at this show. It’s hilarious and nerdy. It’s fabulous!!! I really hope that they don’t cancel it.

Better Off Ted
is the funniest yet NOT PRIMITIVE series on the WEB right now.
It got so popular that the quotes from it are used now in real live !
It is ridiculous that ABC would want to cancel
their best WEB show.
The distribution through the web is the
only reasonable way of getting advertisement
to the people as everyone who has just a TV
either switches the program or turns the sound off.
Short commercials through series (which is as funny as BOT)
do not make people mad and the targeting of the audience
is so much more precise.

So perhaps, it is advertisers who have to understand what
is going on and not ABC after all.
But just like Veridian Dynamics big corporations
will never admit a mistake (unless you speak of
Toyota) and if they do it is much too late.

Regards,
Tony.

Well just bare in mind that ratings are everything for a show and many people just don’t understand the good humour shown in this show.

I just dont know why they ever names it better off ted….such a terrible title for a show its no wonder it never attracted viewers, i only watched my first ep of it by accident and what does that show. They need to get back up t0 5 million viewers in order to stay on the air, I hope they get it.

I really hope they don’t cancel this show. I work in an office and this show just keeps me laughing out loud. I would really miss it if they get rid of it. They could always put on the same night as the other comedy’s since they cancelled Hank. I

OMG!!! You cannot seriously be thinking about cancelling this show!!! If the ratings are low it’s because enough people don’t know about it. It’s one of the funniest shows on television. I love Better Off Ted, it’s one of my favorite shows. I’m going to paste all over my facebook for everyone to watch it… give it a chance. PLEASE don’t cancel it!!!!

Better Off Ted is amazing. It is one of the funniest shows on television because the storylines are silly but if you’ve ever worked in a corporate environment there is more than a bit of truth in the stories. The actors are witty as hell too.

This show is sooooo funny, warm, witty and just plain likeable! Portia is absolutely hysterical! I can’t imagine the Kardashians and Housewives of ……. are on tv, but yet they’ll consider cancelling a genuinely funny show. It’s shows the mentality of those running programming….

WTH is wrong with ABC, or its viewers? I don’t think this show is too clever for most people to find it funny. It’s more like you need to be dumb not to get it!

I think Better Off Ted is way funnier than Community, Parks and Recreation, Modern Family, and even (sadly) current HIMYM, which used to be the best.

It’ll be a real shame if Better Off Ted gets cancelled. But then again, the same thing happened to Arrested Development, Studio 60, Dead Like Me, etc.

Well, there certainly is an abundance of garbage on TV, but Better Off Ted is most certainly NOT one of them. It has better and snappier writing than most, and that almost always means doom. I agree with the acknowledgment that ABC seems to take more chances with ideas that are not “most common denominator”, but then cancels them which is painful. Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone were two of the best things going, but did not survive the writer’s strike gap. I’m still wounded from ABC canceling Twin Peaks way back in ’91…with no closure offered. Ouch!

This show cracks me up. It has gotten funnier as time goes on and it’s a great satire not just of how ridiculous corporate life can be but many other things. I think the problem may be it’s the type of humor that sadly flies over the heads of a lot of people. It seems what people respond to now is blunt simple obviously crude humor. It was the same problem with Arrested Development which brought constant laughs for the whole show. The show likely is doomed and it’s a real shame. I suppose there will just be more cartoons about really inappropriate situations with family dogs & creepy babies that make you just plain uncomfortable, along with people picking spouses on the air and eating bugs, instead. The good news is, I suppose eventually I won’t even have to bother paying for cable.

I love ABC for giving us shows nobody else would take a chance on – the trouble with the likes of Ted, Pushing Daisies and others is that they are just way too clever for the majority of people. Too fast, too much to take in, they don’t get it and they tune out. So I then hate ABC when they cancel these incredible shows and take away my favorites. But I did get to see them, and on balance that’s much better than not. This is though still without doubt the most consistently gut wrenchingly funny show TV has seen since Arrested Development, so it’s a real shame it hasn’t caught on more.

The only thing that could be said for this piece of garbage is that things will be great when Better of Ted is “Most surely DEAD” Alongside other pieces of garbage like Middle, Modern Family,Scrubs and Americas di=umdest videos.

OMG please do not cancel this show! It’s one of the funniest show on TV right now, but unfortunately people would rather watch Fox news. Sad I say.
