great comedy how in the heck no one watched it?


I found out about this show around season 1 randomly flipping through the channel. Just want to say it was such a great show I was hooked on it weekly. Now that it was canceled.. shame on you abc! yay more crappy reality tv and more people whoring themselves in the dating shows yay.

They advertised it really poorly in my opinion, i just started watching the show today out of boredom and it didn't match the commercials and print ads i had seen for it. the ads seemed incredibly stupid, stupid humour, bad casting, and the show is entirely the opposite.

I agree. ABC should have at least tried out BOT on Wednesdays when they canned Hank. They had a full comedy block, so give Ted a chance and see if it worked better there instead of just repeating one of the other shows.

Exactly, Hank got canceled after like 6 episodes, yet that timeslot was wastefully used for nothing but reruns for the rest of the season. ABC could have saved this show by giving it the old Hank spot (or at least putting another Wed lineup show there and placing Ted somewhere else in the lineup) but they decided to just let it die a silent death alongside Scrubs.

at times it was pure genius.......personally, i think they should have concentrated wholly on the company and leave the personal beats to minimum....really, why did they cancel it? so many bad shows are on.

I'm just mad because I didn't even know when it was on!! They switched the time/day so frequently I would never have been able to find it without DVR.

Also - the casting was INSPIRED. I especially loved the Phil/Lem dynamic - those two nerds with-a-heart-of-gold won me over!
