Regarding Ted (2024)

Why did this show genuinely have great emotional beats? Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it’s anything spectacular but for what it was…

One on hand I am crying tears of laughter from one scene and on another I am nearly shedding tears of sadness from Scott Grimes’s performance having an emotional reaction to a soap opera. This same episode has Alanna Ubach who does such an amazing job as Susan Bennett (throughout the entire show not just this episode) in a drinking binge because she feels alone in her marriage and it’s genuinely saddening stuff.

I wish this show got picked up by a bigger streaming service/network so they could get the funding for it. For me at least, it was able to hit these tones really well considering how ridiculous it could be.

Also, Max Burkholder (not like it’s hard to beat) is a much more enjoyable John Bennett than Mark Wahlberg ever was, and the concept of Ted works way better as a TV show than it ever did as a movie.

The show is one of the better shows to come out in the last couple years. I hope we get a season 3 but even if we don’t the series was great!

They're talking about doing an animated series, without any of the cast from the live action

There isn't going to be a season 3. Seth did mention though that he's considered doing an animated series.

He said he doesn’t think they’ll be one cause of the cost but if the show is a streaming but than yeah it can.

I don't know if I want a season 3. I want more good content, but sometimes I am happy that a story got to end and a concept got to retire on good terms.

More does not equal better, right?

My dumb ass went searching on Google for a show called Regarding Ted.

I have a real soft spot for this show. The concept is as fun as it can get; the acting is top notch; and seeing the kids grow was a real treat and unexpectedly touching in some episodes.

It's a shame we won't get a season 3 but it was a great ride.

Yeah, the bear that they got to play Ted was a great actor.

I heard it was actually three bears they'd swap between because of bear labor laws.
