Better Off Ted
They're putting comedy to work.
Created by Victor Fresco
On ABC
A satirical workplace comedy that mines absurdist humor from corporate malfeasance and ethical compromise, balancing dark subject matter with irreverent tone and a tight ensemble cast.
Ted, a successful but morally conscious man, runs a research and development department at a morally questionable corporation, Veridian Dynamics. No achievement is too far fetched and no invention too unorthodox for Veridian. Ted loves his seemingly perfect job; he loves his superhuman boss, Veronica, and colleagues Lem, Phil and Linda, but he's starting to take a closer look at the company's extremely questionable practices... especially when they try to cryogenically freeze one of Ted's scientists for testing purposes.
