Better Off Ted – Predicting A Bomb
Posted on | March 18, 2009 | 2 Comments
Readers of this blog know that when I’m not railing about religion or some other strain of stupidity, I enjoy attacking the lack of creativity in our society. Like idiocy and incompetence, lack of originality is pervasive. You can’t get through the day without several fresh encounters.
So I’m watching some show on ABC and they are running commercials ad nauseum promoting a new show, “Better Off Ted.” As far as I can tell, it’s yet another “office environment hell” sitcom. Yay. But here’s the thing: nothing, not one flipping thing, in the promo was funny. Instead, it was painful and awkward to watch. Is it fair to assume that they culled the best stuff for their enticing advertisement? And this was it?
Don’t they use test audiences? Don’t they use that feedback to kill crappy shows before they blow the budget on full production?
A daring prediction right now, 5:30pm EDT, Wednesday, March 18, 2009, a few hours before the premier: this show will be canceled before the season is out.

My name is John. I have opinions about everything, especially about how to solve world problems. Most of my rants have to do with the runaway stupidity on this planet. If you don't agree with my views, that's OK - it's a free country (kinda). Just don't mistake this site for a democracy!

So I’m guessing not painful and awkward in a good, funny way?

If you like your good, funny times painful and awkward, then I definitely don’t want to hang with you, Crystal. I used up a lifetime’s quota of awkward in high school.
