You're Better Off WITH Ted

Do you ever find yourself yearning for something to do at 2 in the morning? You've tried reading, but you're not literate. You've tried listening to music, but it makes you get up and dance. You got a cookie, but now you're engaged in an endless pursuit as if you were a mouse (everyone knows that reference, right?)
Well if you're like me, and I'm sorry if you, you will eventually seek refuge in your computer. And while that may mean the erotic offerings it can provide you with, in this case I'm talking about online TV. After scanning the latest offerings on HULU I recently discovered a show I had a brief affair with, and discovered we still had chemistry.
The show I rediscovered, and recommend for you, is the ABC comedy, BETTER OFF TED. It details corporate life in a large faceless company, basically making jokes about all the things that are depressing in real life.
Our protagonist Ted, is played by Jay Harrington, who you may recognize from a plethora of guest arcs and failed pilots (The American version of COUPLING). He looks and acts perfect for this part, as the clean cut suit who constantly defends the little guy against the higher ups, specifically Portia De Rossi's character, Veronica. Their battles are routine, consisting of lively banter that is the trademark of the show.
Ted also spars with Linda (Andrea Anders), who represents his potential love interest in a will they/won't they dynamic that doesn't drive me absolutely crazy. Actually they might have hooked up already, but i missed most of season one and two episodes from season two.
Anyway, the show is funny if you don't mind zany comedy. It's essentially a more traditional version of 30 Rock, in that it its all a series of running jokes, but it is more like Scrubs with all of its lessons and narration.
Much of the humor stems from the constant twists and turns of the show, which keep the experience fresh and engaging. This is not the stale comedy of TWO AND A HALF MEN or the nonsense of SCRUBS. The writing is relatively tight, with few arcs wasted on humorless endeavors.
I think I like the show because it is fun, creative and sexy. Oh yeah, everyone on this show is ridiculously hot. I don't know what the company makes, but they would definitely make great babies.
So if you're up late at night and need something to waste time with, I think you wouldn't go wrong with looking up BETTER OFF TED on HULU.
