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.

  1. +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.
