Ted

I had no idea this was a thing until i stumble on it randomly. I enjoyed the 2 movies back then, so i was exited to watch this. This is when the first issue showed up for me. This is so short it can be watched in a few days and then you done. This is not an issue only related to Ted of course, but its something i am kinda getting tired of.

Back in the 90s or early 2000s the sitcoms (or even most shows) had a minimum of 22 episodes, sometimes even more. They managed to create tons of funny stories with limited ressources and cast, and you really felt you had entertainement for hours upon hours. I understand Ted is animated in CGI and he is the special effect, therefore it may cost more than a regular sitcom, but this show was not even 10 episodes...

I just started it a couple days ago and now im already done. Its like i just got to start knowing and liking these characters and now i have to wait to know if it will even be renew because quite often shows are not, as there is so much competition between TV, streaming services etc these days. I think a minimum of 13 episodes should be a requirement for a show.

Now that being said, what was the other point? Well the show is set in the 90s yet somehow seem to forget it is at times, using a little bit too much of current day wokeness words and situation. But that is minor and didn't bothered me "too much".

Now that the negative is behind, i can say i overall enjoyed the show. The Halloween episode was one of my favorite, probably because it gave us something "new" pairing Ted and Blair. Blair was the stand out character for me. There is just something with the actress that is charming, even if normally her character personality would not suit well for me (she is the wokest of the house). I can't even explain it well.

The actor who play John did a decent job. Obviously filling the shoes of Mark Wahlberg is a big task, and i didn't knew this actor at all before, but as the show went on he grew on me.

Like i said above, i would love more of this show. I hope its renew and i hope they get more episodes for a season 2.

This is exactly what we need at times like this. The comedy is brilliant. You hear jokes which are rarely said these days. The writing and acting are quite good. They created a backstory in the best way possible. The new characters are also relatable. And I think the casting couldn't have been better except for John's dad who although is does an amazing job but I get a Bill Burr vibe from.

Still, I don't think episode six was necessary. That's not what Ted is about. The episode felt a bit off as if they were forced to make one with this concept. We are seeing enough of this in stories in the present time, I don't think we need it in stories from the 90s as well.

Overall, I enjoyed the show so much and I believe it has the potential for at least another 3 seasons which I seriously hope we get. Seth McFarlane has a great mind and is definitely able to extend this beautiful story. We all need more shows like this where the comedy is the focus.

Am a big fan of Ted, Ted 2 and Seth in general so was hoping this would be good.

I wasn't initially sold after the first two episodes but it gets better and better and funnier and funnier as it progresses! Really like the characters, they grow on you and it becomes classic Ted with the back story.

Great 80's throwbacks, film references etc which is great for me and along with the hilariously vulgar jokes there is the usual warmth that comes from the story line and characters.

Give it a chance if you are a Ted fan. Really hopeful of another season at some point but doesn't look like for now.

I went in expecting this to be pretty crap, but it's not bad at all. It's nothing revolutionary and I can't say I've had anything more than a "sensible chuckle" but it's actually alright. Sometimes the jokes fall flat, but it's not too awkward or cringeworthy like most modern American sitcoms are (in my opinion at least) Sometimes it's a bit stupid and the jokes become so crude that they're unnecessary, which is definitely down to bad writing but if you don't go in with high hopes and stick with it, you won't be disappointed.

Overall, its nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be and the trailers don't giv it justice, so win win!

As someone who loves just about everything Seth MacFarlane does it's not surprising that I absolutely loved this Ted series. MacFarlane is back as the voice of Ted and he's as funny as ever. This series takes place 20 years before the movie, back in 1993. Ted is just coming off all the fame and tries to live a normal life with his owner/best friend, John Bennett, who wished Ted to life. Max Burkholder does a good job as John Bennett. He even gets his voice to sound like a young Mark Wahlberg. While Ted is the star here and there are plenty of other funny people, the other stand out here is Scott Grimes as John's father. You might know Grimes from another MacFarlane series called The Orville (another good show). I loved the movies so I was hoping this wouldn't be a let down. It's not. It's as funny as the movies were. I can't wait to watch this all the way through again.
