Better Off Ted: Season 2 | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||
Comments | Blaine: This release is long, long, LONG overdue. This show deserved a much longer run than two seasons, but it’s very difficult to promote. Ted is an essentially good man who is overseeing the research and development section run by fundamentally good people, but they all work for a fundamentally evil corporation. Hilarity ensues. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Better Off Ted is fantastic. Go for it.” Alex says, “I’m going with the MST3K collection here – particularly due to the presence of “A Case of Spring Fever.”
+1 for Better Off Ted, though it has been on Netflix for a while so the wait for a DVD release has not been hurting. (We are still waiting for a way to stream or legally buy Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place, and it’s been how long now?)
The Giver is worth watching. My wife is a fan of the book and enjoyed the movie. It had some significant changes between the two, but held together fairly well.
Jeeves & Wooster, is well-worth watching, in my opinion.
Nymphomaniac I and 2, Extended Director’s Cut. Duh.
Really? Or is it just a good name?
Going by the title, but apparently, it’s a better-received film than we might think, based on the title. Looking for reviews really screws with your search history, tho.
