Lust in Translation - Funniest thing I've seen on TV for weeks
That was the best episode so far and the most laughs from any programme for a long, long time.
Have to agree with that absolutely hilarious episode.
And it's bye bye to Better off Ted. Watched the final two tonight and I really loved the first one with the lie detector - borderline pure slapstick in places.
Definitely filed under "should never have been cancelled".
It was a great show, made me laugh out loud several times in every episode. Even the worse episode was better than most other shows. Shame that it is gone, it was so funny.
As far as I've read, it was critically acclaimed in the states. I think they just screwed up with the scheduling of it and never promoted it so it never got anything like the viewing figures they probably wanted.
Still, I don't think it can come back now, even if DVD sales are big enough - Andrea Anders and Jay Harrington have both signed up for other shows.
Oh man, I'm going to miss miy weekly hour fix of Better Off Ted! Goddamn it, why do the good always die so young??? And still the likes of Will & Grace, Mad About You and a hundred other imo sub-par comedies go on for what seems like forever!!!

That lie detector test episode was hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing!
I am thoroughly, thoroughly going to miss this show like mad! One of US tv's best kept secrets and a fantastic, very underrated comedy gem! Every actor was perfect in their role and they gelled! I'm sad it's gone however i'm sure FX will be showing repeats which will keep me entertained, it's just sad we won't be getting any new episodes. I could totally see this show lasting for at least 5 full seasons. It really is that good!

They aired in Australia already.. and they're available on Hulu in the US.
I stand corrected!
Regardless of that, top news! I was under the impression they hadn't aired anywhere.
I loved the klingon glitch towards the end .. "Silence Earth Woman!"

But Better off Ted was brilliant and anyone could see that, it was so stupid to cancel it.
Yeah, same here - loved that character. Maybe a spin-off could happen if DVD sales are high enough ?
You could get Veronica, Phil and Lem into another company maybe ?
But then maybe it's better off left alone - remember it for being funny and at least going out at the top of it's game.
Im not usually into these kind of shows but this one was really good, whats wrong with American tv networks?
That lie detector test episode was hilarious!
I am thoroughly, thoroughly going to miss this show like mad!
RIP Better Off Ted.
Excellent. Aaaah Better Off Ted.....what memories!
