Default Better Off Ted on ABC

Anyone else watch this show? It's smart and funny, in a way Seinfeld never was. I can't understand why this show hasn't caught on yet.

Best endorsement for a show I've ever read. Think I'll record an episode.

Being as far unlike Jerry & Kramer as you can get means it might actually be good.

I have seen a few episodes and it kind of tries to be Arrested Development but does not quite get there. Out of the few episodes I watched, a couple were really good and a couple were kind of laughless.

The show is horrible. Pisses me off that shows like Scrubs go away and we get these trash to replace it.
