    This was a really nice series! I hope it gets a second season.

    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.

    Best live adaptaion

    Mind blown! As a die-hard Family Guy fan, I wasn't sure what to expect from Ted Live, but this show is an absolute game-changer. The humor, the characters, the absurdity - it's all so perfectly crafted. I'm obsessed! If you're a fan of Seth MacFarlane's style, you owe it to yourself to check this out. Can't wait for more!

    This series ended up being alot better then I thought. Good character build up and every episode was enjoyable. Binge worthy series that I got through in two nights. I'm hoping season two doesn't get cancelled. Good acting and good jokes on top of it. If you haven't watched it definitely recommend. Wish there was more then seven episodes for the first season because now Im left waiting.

    Incredible.

    This series is incredible, I really love it. It has a truly funny sense of humor; I've rarely laughed so hard.

    Ted is a teddy bear who, thanks to John making a wish while passing by a shooting star, came to life.

    The series shows us how John goes through his teenage years and the situations he and his friend Ted get into.

    Although the plot may seem childish, the series is practically a comedy for adults. It features nudity, extremely racist and homophobic jokes, extremely inappropriate language, and many situations that aren't suitable for all audiences.

    I'm sold on this- bring on season 2

    The story arcs could use some work, but this series is hilarious and knows no bounds. As is the case with Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy, we are treated to an array of politically incorrect humor, sexually charged situations, drug use, and people being beaten to a pulp or bullied. The Boston accents are spot on and these characters are developed appropriately.

    This is a prequel to the events of Ted and Ted 2, but I bet anyone can go into this series without having seen either film. People who have a fondness for the 1990s should also get a kick out of this show.

    On a strictly personal note, I've been out of work for a few months and Ted has been a delightful distraction for me. I laugh and cringe, but also feel affection for the Bennett family. This has everything that I look for in a comedy series, and more.
