Show Summary

Premiered: Mar 18, 2009
Status: Ended

Ted Crisp loves his job. He works for the team at Veridian Dynamics, where nothing is too far-fetched, or out of the ordinary. An average day for Ted could easily involve creating a suicidal turkey, for instance. The only problem is, Ted is ethical and the company is not.''''The show is being produced by 20th Century Fox Television and ABC Studios.moreless

Forecast for Mr. Sunshine: Partly Cloudy

By Seth Abramovitch, Feb 10, 2011

I don't want to declare Mr. Sunshine a failure, mainly because Matthew Perry is working so hard (both in front of and behind the camerahe's a co-creator) to make us like it/him, that to write it off completely based on… more

Another cutting edge satire bites the dust

"Perfect"

By Zelig504, Jul 20, 2011 Report Abuse

Pity that well written smart satires don't last while gross and smarmy comedies that hit us over the head with their obvious sexual jokes keep getting renewed year after year even in the midst of stats going into rehab hell and having to be replaced by other actors. What a pity.

So we lose Reaper....See Psych outclassed by a weak sister Mentalist and the list goes on. Never underestimate the intelligence of the American public.moreless

Shwing Bang - This is off-the-hook hillarity

"Perfect"

By AdrianCremona, May 10, 2011 Report Abuse

Set in the office building of a huge multi-national conglomerate corporation, Veridian Dymanics, Better off Ted pokes fun at the Corporate world and at big business.

Veridian is so out of touch with reality that they make one P-C blunder after the next, from automated light sensors that dont see black people, to cryogenically freezing an employee as an experiment. Oh, and lets not forget the office day-care centre which believes in preparing the youngsters for the future by using them as the office cleaners.

The small cast, led by Portia DeRossi are brilliant together. The writers seem to have found the right niche of contrasting characters to accomodate the seemingly mundane plot-lines. I say seemingly as there is no mundane in Better off Ted.

This show is irreverant, anti p-c and altogether funny. Another great show to add to the TiVo.moreless

By tashaTV, Mar 10, 2011 Report Abuse

I can't believe they cancelled this show??!!!?? This is one of my favorites!! My husband loves it and its hard to find something we both like!!! My dad even go into it. It is soooo funny. My favorite was veronica. She nailed that role! I love the science geeks too. We saw it on NetFlix and were pissed when there were only 2 seasons. We can't stand some of the other shows out there, they aren't making shows like this. I bet ABC got baught off to cancel this show! They need to bring this and Reaper back!!!! 2 1/2 men? really? Who do we need to contact to do this? Seriously.moreless

"Perfect"

By RGressick, Nov 16, 2010 Report Abuse

A show that deserved at least a second season. It looked so much better, had hillarious and yet akward interactions. Sad to see it was cancelled. I felt it was a much better show than even V which had bad CGI and Green screen. This show did only hit a certain limited audience. But it was still a show that had potential for what it was. Yes, it seems that ABC only sticks more to drama than comedy, but this show made me want to watch ABC outside of my usually Sunday night block. Potential was there for something great but now its lost.moreless
