Better Off Ted Appreciation Thread #1: Welcome to Veridian Dynamics
Better Off Ted - Home - ABC.com Veridian Dynamics: Life. Better. Better Off Ted is a satirical office comedy about Ted Crisp, an R&D superstar and single dad. He heads up the research and development department at Veridian Dynamics, a large multinational corporation that values profits over morals. No project is too far-fetched for them: Grow meat in a test tube? They do that. Turn an innocent pumpkin into a killing gourd for the military? You betcha. But, when they decide to cryonically freeze one of Ted's employees just "to see if it's possible," Ted begins to question the company's extremely easy-to-question practices. He turns to his self-centered boss, Veronica, his genius scientists, Lem and Phil, the cute new tester, Linda, and his 8-year-old daughter, Rose, to help him do the right thing. Cast Andrea Anders as Linda Malcolm Barrett as Lem Jay Harrington as Ted Portia de Rossi as Veronica Jonathan Slavin as Phil Promos Video Clips YouTube - Better Off Ted - 'Welcome to Veridian Dynamics' Promo Spot YouTube - Better Off Ted - 'The Moment's Gone' Promo YouTube - Better off Ted 1x01 trailer #2 __________________

I've been anticipating this; it looks hilarious! I really hope it doesn't have a laugh-track, it doesn't seem to though. I'm also already loving the Ted/Veronica relationship, going by the promos.

Yeah, so far, Jay and Portia have stood out the most for me in the promos.

Portia seems to be a person that wouldnt take on something that wasnt good (esp after Ally McBeal), and i think this show will be and esp Ted and Veronica scenes/relationship
Saw some more clips when she came on Ellen Degeneres show yesterday __________________

I can't wait for this show tomorrow. It looks hilarious, and with Andrea Anders and Portia de Rossi, I bet it will be.

I'll definately give this show a try since I love Portia de Rossi and Andrea Anders. I'm already loving Ted and Veronica and I'm definately rooting for them. A Ted and Linda hookup , probably not, although it's obvious that relationship will happen somewhere down the road. I'm to this day still not capable of shipping Andrea with anyone other than Matt LeBlanc whether it's on or off screen. I never cared for the Nicole/Duncan relationship on "The Class" and what I've seen of Ted/Linda so far kinda rubs me the wrong way. Then again,I guess I have to watch a couple of episodes before I make a final judgement.

If Portia's comedic style in this is anything like how she was on Arrested Development, then I'll love it.

Didn't expect much from the premiere BUT I am definitely tuning in weekly. I LOVEd it.
The whole cast did not fail at all. Jay was adorable as always, I kind of love it that this is his character, just because the ones that I have seen him in has been you know boy scout. But this, he's still that but with depth. Portia was spot on. Andrea made as the love interest made that plot actually likable. __________________
