Better Off Ted: Get Happy (season finale) - open thread

by Bob Sassone, posted May 6th 2009 8:09AM

Better Off Ted

This was the season finale of Better Off Ted, and it could turn out to be the series finale. ABC will reveal their fall schedule on May 19, so for the next couple of weeks fans of this show will be acting like Arrested Development fans, praying that their favorite sitcom continues and ready to send letters to the network. ABC doesn't really do well with comedies. They usually don't last long or they're grabbed from another network (Scrubs and maybe Old Christine), so maybe this is a show they'd like to keep around.

What did you think of this series finale?

Love this show! It just gets funnier and funnier...because all the weird corporate stuff really happens! They just take it to a whole new level. Just great...fills the void of Arrested Development for awhile. Try it...you'll like it.

The premise is so refreshingly different. I love the characters and story lines. I especially like the 'fake' commercials in each episode, like a little bonus feature.

However, it's being dismissed so quickly, I'd swear Andy Richter was somehow involved.
Too bad, I would like to have seen this show develop with even more quirky characters in the office and lab and bizarro ideas and creations.

This was the first show, in a long time, that made me laugh so hard that I cried. The writing is terrific, the actors are perfect. I really hope its renewed.

What a breath of fresh air this show is. After all the boring crap on tv lately it was nice to find a show that is down right hilarious! Well scripted, smart and with a lot of different, very interesting charactors. I love this show and I hope it comes back. I get so frustrated with these networks that pull funny shows from the lineup without a thought to the people out there who enjoy them, like 'Back to You' and '10 Items or Less'.

Absolutely, this is the funniest show (other than possibly 30 Rock) on TV right now. ABC might keep it around, they seem to be a little more desperate for some comedy.

ABC, Please renew this show!!! I personally think this show is the funniest this season, with the racial sensitivity episode being the funniest. It needs some more time for people to know about this show and get to know how funny it is. I'm promoting it to my friends now and we're finding it really funny, even funnier than The Office!

"Get Happy" is another funny episode. It's so funny how the company spun Linda's suggestion for individuality, by assigning everyone to four themes. And Portia de Rossi is hilarious again, with her fake "good boss" attitude.

Everyone, please give this show a shot :D I have never commented on TV Squad articles, but I just had to voice out my thoughts to make more people know how good this is
