This might annoy some people but this series is honestly better than the first two movies in terms of it's direction, humour & writing. The acting is very well done and this exceeded way past my expectations not that I ever expected to hate this show because it's Seth McFarlane. For crying out loud this guy knows how to make people laugh and Scott Grimes I love that guy "hey were at dinner!" it gets me every time his character is awesome he says what he thinks and believes and honestly he just doesn't care. For those who aren't aware they have renewed the show for a second season there's stuff online about this it's definitely happening and ya know what good for them. I've seen this twice now and I still love it if your in the UK the only way to watch this is on YouTube because we don't got Peacock here.

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.

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.

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.

I knew I was in for a treat, but nothing could have prepared me for the comedic genius that is 'Ted'. Seth MacFarlane has outdone himself, delivering what can only be described as the best comedy show in years.

The film is a masterclass in humor, with MacFarlane's signature wit sharper than ever. The jokes are relentless, the timing impeccable, and the satire brilliantly observant. 'Ted' isn't just funny; it's a reflection of our times, wrapped in a package so entertaining you forget you're learning something about the world.

MacFarlane, as the voice of Ted, is at his best. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, making every scene a delightful spectacle. The narrative is both heartwarming and hilarious, a rare combination that few writers can balance as skillfully as MacFarlane does.

In conclusion, 'Ted' is a must-watch. It's the kind of film that leaves you with a sore stomach from laughing and a warm feeling in your heart. Seth MacFarlane proves yet again why he's considered a genius in the realm of comedy. If you're looking for a laugh to lift your spirits and provide a hearty dose of laughter, look no further than 'Ted'.

I really enjoyed the show about Ted, the teddy bear who came to life when his owner, John Bennet, wished for it. The series focuses on John's teenage years with his best friend, Ted. I'm glad to hear that the creators initially planned for this to be a mini-series, but due to the positive response from the audience, they have decided to continue the show.

I liked the show because it fearlessly made fun of everything without worrying about potential backlash from the jokes. The humor touched on politics, racism, family life, and the challenges of being a teenager. Seth MacFarlane handled it well, ensuring that the jokes were received positively.

The length of each episode was just right for the story, keeping me engaged most of the time. However, I did notice that certain elements seemed to repeat in every episode. Also, at times, it felt reminiscent of Family Guy, which I couldn't help but notice.

Overall, I found the show entertaining and a good way to relax and have a laugh.

I found myself far more captivated by the Ted series than its 2012 film predecessor. While the movie, a product of its 80s cinematic era, boasts a certain charm, the series injects a contemporary feel that resonates more strongly with today's audiences.

The series masterfully navigates the complexities of adult friendships, exploring themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the evolving nature of relationships in a nuanced and often humorous way. The characters, both familiar and new, are richly developed, allowing for deeper emotional connections and more intricate storylines.

The series benefits from a more serialized approach, allowing for greater character arcs and a more satisfying exploration of the underlying themes. The production values are also top-notch, with a polished aesthetic that complements the show's modern sensibilities.

While the 2012 film holds a nostalgic place in many hearts, the Ted series offers a more mature and engaging viewing experience that truly captures the essence of these beloved characters in a way that feels both familiar and fresh.

Loved Ted, Ted 2, and now facing great sitcom.

Fantastic casting, which after the movie would have been hard to follow.

Great early nineties scenery, which allows most of adults to relate to, no smartphones, social media but yet so fresh approach to old problems.

Easy pace, yet full of full speedy dialogs, smart insights, yet exposing all modern human issues, in the circle of family relatives, naught but not filthy. I wish to be in the room when they do the first reading the script. Must be a lot of laugh, because the producers must have a lot of dark humour imaginations.

Love it and Seth - you did it again!

In this day and age, sequels and the prospects of making movies have become a calculated gamble. So what do you do when you have a property with an established fan base? TV show continuations are becoming a new market onto themselves and now Seth MacFarlane has brought his vulgar but likable teddy his own prequel mini series. The good news is solid casting makes the characters feel fleshed out, believable and Seth continues voicing the titular bear. However as someone who enjoyed both films and thought they were humorous, I couldn't shake the notion here the idea was to offend first and be funny second.

John Bennett (Max Burkholder) is the teenage boy who wished Ted to life in Massachusetts and is going thru the tribulations every young teen goes thru. School, parents, bullies, relationships with the opposite sex, drugs, etc circa mid 90's minus the unique best friend. Meanwhile a peek at his family in old fashioned loudmouth dad Matt (Scott Grimes), demure mom Susan (Alanna Ubach) and alternative cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham) provides some fill in the blanks, background and color.

I gave this show a go on the recommendation of someone and wasn't shocked to see the type of humor that populates Family Guy, South Park. The real issue is I didn't feel like a lot of the jokes landed and it's over reliance on swearing wore out. Sometimes the situations were relatable or apt for laughs and at other times this felt like nothing people did or said in the 90's. Without repeating myself and stringing this out any longer than necessary, I'd give the second season a chance but the sophomore effort didn't land for me the way it has with other people.

I've been looking forward to Ted ever since I first heard about it. Then I saw the trailers and my excitement grew even more. After just finishing it I can say without a doubt that Ted definitely lived up to my expectations. The two Ted movies are two of my favorite comedies of the last 15 years. I also love Family Guy so this type of humor is right up my alley. I laughed so much during this show that I had to rewatch it twice because I missed parts from laughing so much. I really hope this isn't a limited series and that they plan on doing more seasons. If you liked the Ted movies or are a fan of Seth MacFarlane then I highly recommend this.

If you are a person like me, i.e. You have a sweet spot for crude and dark humour and sexual jokes but still want a meaningful story and actually really good story in this case. This is the best TV Show and I couldn't recommend it enough.

This is the best Series I have ever seen. The Ending was absolutely perfect, The beginning was absolutely perfect other than one episode in the middle everything was fantastic and even that episode was just middle of the road. It just wasn't special like the rest of them.

In Short, If you haven't watched it, you're missing out big time. And once you have watched it, You can't stop there by just watching this. You have to watch the whole Ted Universe and since this is a prequel, It is really technically the beginning of the saga. Good TV Show. I loved it.

The story arcs could use some work, but this series is hilarious and knows no bounds. As is the case with Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy, we are treated to an array of politically incorrect humor, sexually charged situations, drug use, and people being beaten to a pulp or bullied. The Boston accents are spot on and these characters are developed appropriately.

This is a prequel to the events of Ted and Ted 2, but I bet anyone can go into this series without having seen either film. People who have a fondness for the 1990s should also get a kick out of this show.

On a strictly personal note, I've been out of work for a few months and Ted has been a delightful distraction for me. I laugh and cringe, but also feel affection for the Bennett family. This has everything that I look for in a comedy series, and more.

Almost snuck a live action family guy past me, but I'm so glad I didn't miss it.

It's just so rich! It's like Seth and Co took everything they learned over the past 25 years and showcased the best of it.

High art somehow disguised as a typical 90's sitcom with the charm of a beloved cartoon (or However I butcher this review) whatever it is, it freaking works! With tons of jokes on various levels, delivered by some of my favorite actors, including masterful performances by Alanna Ubach and Scott Grimes.

Again I joined peacock and IMDB because of this show. I'm only on episode 4.

It's like Goldbergs meets family guy but more enjoyable, haha.

Great show, hope to see season two. I also hope they get enough EGS score that they'll stop with social justice GAI stuff, because none of it is natural, needed, or even time applicable. Show is set in 1993 and I sure as hell know none of these topics were being discussed back then in normal suburban households.

60% of show is fun, 40% is about how men suck and being GAI is great.

There's a literal shot of a husband, who works 60 hour shifts and is a sole provider in the whole family being handed a sandwich from his wife, like he's a schmuck and expects other people to do thing for him.

But, you know, Seth has sold his soul long time ago, or maybe he gave it to the cute Teddy bear who is absolute star of the show. If you liked movies, you're going to like the show, just gotta numb your brain for that progressive BS.

On January 11th, Peacock released all episodes of the new miniseries; ted, the most recent follow up to Seth MacFarlane's hit film series of the same name starring MacFarlane and Mark Wahlberg. The show takes place in the early 90s after Ted the bear's fame has worn off, but well before the events of the first Ted movie. This story gives us a glimpse of Ted and John Bennett's relationship before John became an adult. Max Burkholder plays young John Bennett while Seth MacFarlane reprises his role as Ted and the show features many alum from MacFarlane's previous shows: Scott Grimes (The Orville, American Dad!, & Family Guy), Penny Johnson Jerald (The Orville), Julius Sharpe (Family Guy), Mike Henry (Family Guy, American Dad!, & The Cleveland Show), and many others!

I am a big fan of Seth MacFarlane's work; from his hit shows like Family Guy & The Orville (still not over that show being cancelled by the way), to his movies like A Million Ways to Die in the West and the Ted series. As you can imagine, I was very excited when I heard that this show was coming out and I had very high expectations. Now, sometimes starting a show with high expectations is a recipe for disappointment. Thankfully, however, it was not the case for this show. It completely blew away my highest expectations and I found myself texting friends and family imploring them to watch it. Ted has everything: great story, classic MacFarlane-esque comedy, and brilliant performances (specifically by Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach). It is an easy watch that is sure to entertain. I found myself being disappointed when I had finished it and saw that it will be a one-and-done show. If you are a fan of Seth MacFarlane's other work, and you feel like literally cackling with laughter (just ask my wife), I highly recommend ted, now streaming on Peacock.

Thank you!

Ah, a sweet talking innocent show that looks back in to a gentler time, when John Bennett was just a junior in high school. Except there was little sweet talk nor innocence whenever Ted came on scene. But it really is precisely what one would expect from Seth MacFarlane. A brash, know-it-all Ted who can't keep his mouth shut, and a rather interesting family. The mother is a hoot, and the father certainly has his share of issues. But it does capture a lot of teenage angst of life in high school. And John has that certain awkwardness that plays very well, as Ted is really his only friend. I viewed all seven episodes, and am looking forward to another season. Who will forget the teacher who unloads all his personal problems on his students, or the ER doctor who wishes the Aladdin movie was never made?

Sometimes in a series the setting is its own character, like NYC in Friends or Seinfeld. Or the time in which it takes place, like the 1960's being integral to plot of The Brady Bunch or Wonder Years.

For starters, I will say that I really enjoyed the "Ted" films, that style of "crude" humor doesn't really bother me at all, and I thought the films had smart, funny writing.

The jokes in the "Ted" tv series are a little more flat than the films. I don't really think cuss words are that funny, and sometimes the jokes literally are "dad says cuss word", "doll says cuss word", "sister says cuss word".

But the somewhat bland writing isn't really what bothers me about this content, it's that nothing really feels like the early 90's in this show. Imagine you took someone who learned about "the 90's" from Tik-Tok, and then told them to write a series based on what they learned. You'd probably get something like this series.

"Blaire", the sister, looks like a modern hippy with a 90's esthetic, although the blonde girl who had the joint is far worse. No girls in 1993 were referring to guys as "Bro", and I can't say I ever saw any person look like her back then. Was it not possible to find a 20-something year old who didn't use massive lip fillers to play that role, or is she Seth's flavor-of-the-month?

This is a minor qualm, but another thing that feels inauthentic about this series is that some of the "social ethical" conversations don't ring true for 1993-suburbia. Those conversations wouldn't even happen.

Bottom line though, the worst offense this series makes is that the premise of the "Ted" series is essentially exactly the same as the film, "Guy deals with foul bear shenanigans". It covers no new ground and probably doesn't need to exist.

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.

Better than the movies.

Id put this up with BASKETS. YOU just have to buy the premise that "god" made Ted a real boy. More like a little man. TED has to go to H. S. with 16 y.o. John (who is really 26 y.o)

Exceot that Ted wants to watch porn & have an orgasm, no gentials. But its a fantasy, so why not.

Great characters, rich multilayer, even the HS. Principle. Stereotyped yet rich & real. Iconic characters of their time.

Reminds me of All in the Family. Supposed to be 1993, Father Mattie is like Archie, narrowed minded, racists, belittles his wife who isnt alowed to work. He Avoids by going to the bar to drink, but not a bad guy. Susan is sweet, Unassuming, a little naive, caring, but really her own woman, like Edith. Yet Perceptive.

BLAIRE, bisexual niece, the voice of reason, college girl (realy 26 y.o.) H. S. Mean girls & bullies put in their place.
