Synopsis

Ted, a successful but morally conscious man, runs a research and development department at a morally questionable corporation, Veridian Technologies. No achievement is too far fetched and no invention too unorthodox for Veridian. Ted loves his seemingly perfect job; he loves his superhuman boss, Veronica, and colleagues Lem, Phil and Linda, but he's starting to take a closer look at the company's extremely questionable practices... especially when they try to cryogenically freeze one of Ted's scientists for testing purposes.

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
updike-curtis Just re-watched this series again. It saddens me that shows with intelligent writing, great acting and strong intelligent humor are canceled. I loved this show! The acting was strong, the writing was exceptional, and the character development was spot on. I think I worked with many of these people in my life. I am not sure why the general public can't get behind more shows like this, I guess the mass population simply does not like to be required to listen intently or think while watching television. We need pop culture, shallow characters that don't say much so we can text and play games on our phones and only half pay attention, then still not even miss anything.
frobin-jojo Better Off Ted is the best TV comedy show since Scrubs and for sure the same quality as the first 3 seasons of Big Bang Theory. Much better than the 5th season of Big Bang.I really loved Portia de Rossi as Veronica and the sarcastic and cynical portrayal of the big corporation Veridian Dynamics, a multinational corporation doing literally anything for money (even freezing his employees just because they can do it).The show has so much potential left open ... the ethical conflicts of Ted, the dilemma of Ted with Linda and Veronica and the nerd stuff that Phil and Lem could do ... so much left open ...... really a shame that shows like this get canceled!
dnr-nachum "Better Off Ted" is a very well written and played, funny, intelligently-cynical, fast-paced, anarchistic and not at all unrealistic corporate America sitcom. The not-so-positive way in which this (extremely unethical, cheerfully heartless, greedy, however innovative and resourceful) Veridian Dynamics corporation is depicted, may deter many potential advertisers.This is probably a major reason in Fox decision to terminate it prematurely. I would assume that many of its avid-viewers are well educated, technically-trained, well-paid individuals. This sort of crowd should be targeted by commercials of "brave and intelligent" electronics and techno-gadget makers.I would encourage Fox to give "Better Off Ted" another chance,as it has the potential of reaching the success of the hilariously funny: "Scrubs".
Filmy2020 What a shame that abc pulled the plug on this show.It has a great ensemble cast of Phil & Lem, the quirky Lab Technicians, Ted, the well balanced but easily swayed middle manager, Veronica, the remorseless corporate crony, and Linda, the Corporate product tester and moral compass.The writing is witty and fast. There is no laugh track in this show, and while some jokes really smack you in the face, others are more subtle and can easily be overlooked until you've seen the episode a second time.This show was so well done, and being set in the heart of a global corporation that only cares about money led to a potentially endless supply of fun.I highly recommend this show. If only abc had given Better off Ted a consistent time slot and some advertising, this could have easily become one of the most popular shows on television.
