Okay, I'll set to the side a rant about how, if you're going to repeat what you KNOW at least 30 other people said (okay okay, we all want to see Firefly return), then resist the temptation of cluttering up this post. That being said:
Better Off Ted was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Well performed, VERY well written, and suffering from what I've come to call Conan O'Brien's disease. It's when you have a show that's very well written, very well performed, and has a horrible horrible lead-in that makes it impossible to get any traction in the ratings.
In Conan's case, it was Jay Leno. In Better Off Ted's case, it was the last gasps of Scrubs.
