By Rob Owen But if you haven't tried "Better Off Ted" (8:30 tonight, WTAE), you really should. It's a rare satirical series that hits its mark most of the time. Tonight's episode, "Racial Sensitivity," begins as "Ted" episodes always do with a Veridian Dynamics image spot.

"Heroes" I didn't realise that so much of the humour would be in the form of running gags. Sigh. I love it. And this episode made me laugh very heartily many, many times. But, if there is one thing we learned from Arrested Development, it is that people will not watch shows like this. No matter how clever or funny they are. So, all we can do is hope that ABC, at least, show all 13 episodes.   [read the full post]

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) Better Off Ted. Episode 1. "Pilot" I feel as if Victor Fresco has had a go at bringing back Andy Richter Controls The Universe. And I'm fine with that. This opening chapter is very, very funny and (just like ARCTU) has a fantastic cast. The Listener. Episode 2. "Emotional Rescue" Arsonist. Flight Of The Conchords. Season 2, Episode 9. "Wingmen" Bret falls in love. WKRP In Cincinnati. Episode 72. "Rumors" An episode with nothing very serious to say, and - oddly enough - the funniest WKRP episode in a while. Many, many laugh-out-loud moments and several cute plots where rumours fly around the station causing complications. The ending is too forced to be really funny, but it's a strong episode.   [read the full post]
