Ted

I'm writing this review after watching the first season and I have to admit I loved it! I watched it not expecting much, given I didn't particularly enjoy the two Ted movies, but oh boy this series was a treat. The cgi of Ted was done so well that there wasn't a single moment that made me think "oh it's not really there". The humour was actually funny this time around, the kid protagonist sells it as a younger version of the movie protagonist. I appreciate very much how the mother is depicted, so many modern series have a mother who's alcholic or she's indipendent and strong. Not here, she is a loving mother that loves to be that, and that's fine. I also liked the father, and despite me don't minding the girl I still have no clue what she is supposed to be. Is she a cousin? Why is she living with them? In the movies there was like a flashback scene but she wasn't there, so is she a new character introduced in this prequel series? You know I'm looking too much into the lore, this is Ted not Futurama.

Anyway, would I reccomend it? Absolutely, go on and watch the bully episode.

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 series is incredible, I really love it. It has a truly funny sense of humor; I've rarely laughed so hard.

Ted is a teddy bear who, thanks to John making a wish while passing by a shooting star, came to life.

The series shows us how John goes through his teenage years and the situations he and his friend Ted get into.

Although the plot may seem childish, the series is practically a comedy for adults. It features nudity, extremely racist and homophobic jokes, extremely inappropriate language, and many situations that aren't suitable for all audiences.

Mind blown! As a die-hard Family Guy fan, I wasn't sure what to expect from Ted Live, but this show is an absolute game-changer. The humor, the characters, the absurdity - it's all so perfectly crafted. I'm obsessed! If you're a fan of Seth MacFarlane's style, you owe it to yourself to check this out. Can't wait for more!

This Ted reboot brings the foul-mouthed teddy bear back to life with all the crude humor you expect, but this time with a fresh cast that nails the chaotic, raunchy vibe Seth MacFarlane set in the movies.

From the jump, Seth MacFarlane still voices Ted, delivering that perfect blend of vulgar wit and surprising charm. But the human cast is totally different here, and they bring their own flavor.

Alanna Ubach takes on Lori, the ever-patient girlfriend who tries to keep John in check, but honestly, this Lori's got a sharper edge. Then there's Max Burkholder as John Bennett, a relatable everyman who struggles to keep up with Ted's nonsense but still brings heart to the madness.

The supporting cast rounds out nicely with a mix of new characters who add fresh chaos and humor, making the series stand on its own and not just a copy of the films.

This version isn't trying to be a carbon copy - it's wilder and more adult, leaning harder into the raunch and randomness. The pacing can be uneven, and some jokes hit better than others, but when it's on, it's really on.

For fans of the original Ted movies who want more of that crude, unpredictable energy without the Hollywood gloss, this show delivers in spades.

9 out of 10.
