A sitcom prequel built on the affectionate friendship between a talking bear and a teenage boy in 1990s Boston, balancing crude humor and bad influence with genuine family loyalty.

It's 1993 and Ted the bear's moment of fame has passed, leaving him living with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett, who lives in a working-class Boston home with his parents and cousin. Ted may not be the best influence on John, but when it comes right down to it, he's willing to go out on a limb to help his friend and his family.
