TV Tonight: Better Off Ted's Season 2 Premiere
ABC's quirky workplace comedy Better Off Ted has had an unusual trajectory — the show premiered last year as a midseason replacement, then took a break and showed up with new episodes this Summer, and now it's back for its official second season premiere tonight. I'm just happy to have it back — the show has some of the funniest writing on TV and Portia de Rossi kills as the titular Ted's ice queen boss.
Tonight's episode "Love Blurts" opens with Veridian Dynamics pairing its employees with their ideal genetic match so they can save on insurance (because ideal matches produce perfect children who don't get sick, see).
TV Tonight: Better Off Ted
New episodes of a network TV show that's not canceled airing in the Summer? How is that even possible? I don't know what was behind ABC's choice to air new episodes of Better Off Ted starting this week — but whatever it was, I'll take it!

TV Tonight: Better Off Ted
Better Off Ted, which premieres tonight on ABC, is a smart and sarcastic comedy that I think will be a solid counterpart for Scrubs in the 8 p.m. hour. It's also very quirky, which I can imagine being interpreted as "very weird," which means I wouldn't be surprised if it struggles in the ratings and gets canceled early.
