Ted

Am a big fan of Ted, Ted 2 and Seth in general so was hoping this would be good.

I wasn't initially sold after the first two episodes but it gets better and better and funnier and funnier as it progresses! Really like the characters, they grow on you and it becomes classic Ted with the back story.

Great 80's throwbacks, film references etc which is great for me and along with the hilariously vulgar jokes there is the usual warmth that comes from the story line and characters.

Give it a chance if you are a Ted fan. Really hopeful of another season at some point but doesn't look like for now.

This might annoy some people but this series is honestly better than the first two movies in terms of it's direction, humour & writing. The acting is very well done and this exceeded way past my expectations not that I ever expected to hate this show because it's Seth McFarlane. For crying out loud this guy knows how to make people laugh and Scott Grimes I love that guy "hey were at dinner!" it gets me every time his character is awesome he says what he thinks and believes and honestly he just doesn't care. For those who aren't aware they have renewed the show for a second season there's stuff online about this it's definitely happening and ya know what good for them. I've seen this twice now and I still love it if your in the UK the only way to watch this is on YouTube because we don't got Peacock here.

I'm writing this review after watching the first season and I have to admit I loved it! I watched it not expecting much, given I didn't particularly enjoy the two Ted movies, but oh boy this series was a treat. The cgi of Ted was done so well that there wasn't a single moment that made me think "oh it's not really there". The humour was actually funny this time around, the kid protagonist sells it as a younger version of the movie protagonist. I appreciate very much how the mother is depicted, so many modern series have a mother who's alcholic or she's indipendent and strong. Not here, she is a loving mother that loves to be that, and that's fine. I also liked the father, and despite me don't minding the girl I still have no clue what she is supposed to be. Is she a cousin? Why is she living with them? In the movies there was like a flashback scene but she wasn't there, so is she a new character introduced in this prequel series? You know I'm looking too much into the lore, this is Ted not Futurama.

Anyway, would I reccomend it? Absolutely, go on and watch the bully episode.

On January 11th, Peacock released all episodes of the new miniseries; ted, the most recent follow up to Seth MacFarlane's hit film series of the same name starring MacFarlane and Mark Wahlberg. The show takes place in the early 90s after Ted the bear's fame has worn off, but well before the events of the first Ted movie. This story gives us a glimpse of Ted and John Bennett's relationship before John became an adult. Max Burkholder plays young John Bennett while Seth MacFarlane reprises his role as Ted and the show features many alum from MacFarlane's previous shows: Scott Grimes (The Orville, American Dad!, & Family Guy), Penny Johnson Jerald (The Orville), Julius Sharpe (Family Guy), Mike Henry (Family Guy, American Dad!, & The Cleveland Show), and many others!

I am a big fan of Seth MacFarlane's work; from his hit shows like Family Guy & The Orville (still not over that show being cancelled by the way), to his movies like A Million Ways to Die in the West and the Ted series. As you can imagine, I was very excited when I heard that this show was coming out and I had very high expectations. Now, sometimes starting a show with high expectations is a recipe for disappointment. Thankfully, however, it was not the case for this show. It completely blew away my highest expectations and I found myself texting friends and family imploring them to watch it. Ted has everything: great story, classic MacFarlane-esque comedy, and brilliant performances (specifically by Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach). It is an easy watch that is sure to entertain. I found myself being disappointed when I had finished it and saw that it will be a one-and-done show. If you are a fan of Seth MacFarlane's other work, and you feel like literally cackling with laughter (just ask my wife), I highly recommend ted, now streaming on Peacock.

Thank you!

As someone who loves just about everything Seth MacFarlane does it's not surprising that I absolutely loved this Ted series. MacFarlane is back as the voice of Ted and he's as funny as ever. This series takes place 20 years before the movie, back in 1993. Ted is just coming off all the fame and tries to live a normal life with his owner/best friend, John Bennett, who wished Ted to life. Max Burkholder does a good job as John Bennett. He even gets his voice to sound like a young Mark Wahlberg. While Ted is the star here and there are plenty of other funny people, the other stand out here is Scott Grimes as John's father. You might know Grimes from another MacFarlane series called The Orville (another good show). I loved the movies so I was hoping this wouldn't be a let down. It's not. It's as funny as the movies were. I can't wait to watch this all the way through again.
