Ted: A Série

Which people grew up in Red states, oppressed families, or in the middle of nowhere. As someone who grew up in a suburb of NYC and graduated high school in 1994, I can 100% say that there were girls like the cousin in my school. Considering I went to one of the best high schools in the country, it makes sense as there is a proven correlation between intelligence and more liberal ideologies.

People who are able to write shows like this are clearly intelligent, so it makes sense that they have a more liberal slant. People just seriously need to realize that.

This show is hilarious. I'm sure there's lots of jokes that just go over peoples' heads. That's smart humor for ya.

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.

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.

Season 1.

Based on the success of the original 2012 film and its sequel three years later, was initially surprised that this concept was adapted into a mini tv series. Now of course it takes place in the early 1990's with our lead character of John being a teenager. The series very much represents a lot of the 1990's with its clothing, video games, furnitures, and frequent pop culture references.

As seen in the films, the comedy is very much on par with a lot of crude jokes and witty dialogue. They don't water down the product as this series is very much for mature audiences as equivalent to an R rating.

Seth MacFarlane does great voice work as Ted. The actor portraying John certainly gets better as the show progresses. The actress portraying Blair may be the standout as she's the smart independent voice of reason and social conscience. The father is the more laid back occasionally aggressive drunk type while the mother is the more nice easy going pushover one.

Each episode has enough laughs but their stories do vary and do get serious at times. From the opening episode dealing with buying drugs, to the following episode with the bully and his absent father. A Halloween episode is in there which may be the highlight (ep. 4) mainly because it brings the pairing of Ted and Blair. To the final two episodes which felt more serious dealing with issues (Blair seemingly "coming out", John's prom wanting to lose it). Although they each of course have comedic moments but the laughs were less the final episodes.

Overall a very entertaining mini series with eye opener results with a nostalgic factor for people to enjoy. We are now anticipating the second series and it has been reported in the works.

This series ended up being alot better then I thought. Good character build up and every episode was enjoyable. Binge worthy series that I got through in two nights. I'm hoping season two doesn't get cancelled. Good acting and good jokes on top of it. If you haven't watched it definitely recommend. Wish there was more then seven episodes for the first season because now Im left waiting.
