So I finally started watching Better Off Ted and I got deja vu...this
is like a variation on Andy Richter Controls the Universe.

Well I guess since some guy named Victor Fresco is the producer for
both, it is not just my imagination. I see Jonathan Slavin has a
similar role in both as well. I think I liked Andy Richter better
overall.

Also, I'm probably not the only one who thought "hey, is that Dave
Chappelle?" (And guess who just saw the motion sensors not detecting
black people episode)

I'd make a much stronger statement. BETTER OFF TED is funny, and
ANDY RICHTER was just tedious, in my opinion.

I can see that some/many would use "tedious" to describe "Andy Richter
Controls the Universe." I liked him from his work with Conan and
therefore predisposed to like the show. I also lusted for Wendy for
the earlier shows but then they changed her makeup and she started
looking, um, "faker." Paget Brewster was great too.

I've just finished watching all of the Better Off Ted shows and now
consider myself a fan. The male lead is "handsome" this time. :-)

I particularly enjoy the Veridan Dynamics commericals.

Thanks __ I never thought to look for a Web site.

But.......

But of course it does. The company doesn't necessarily care about the
consequences of its work, so JS and Flash will help them transfer the
side effects to your computer.

I just saw the 6 episodes of Andy Barker PI - pretty good. I think
they nose out/were better than Andy Richter Controls the Universe and
Better off Ted. One of these days I'll get around to seeing
Quintuplets.
