01.12.10 THIS IS FUNNY. ABC WANTS TO CANCEL IT.

Even though I spend all my day writing about how I hate or love (usually hate) various things on TV, I try to stay away from telling you what YOU should like it. The whole “YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!” or “SAVE THIS SHOW!” thing feels way too much like cheerleading to me, and I’m way too apathetic and heterosexual for that.

better-off-ted1Nevertheless, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out — once again — the unfathomable buffoonery of ABC’s handling of “Better Off Ted,” a funny and original sitcom that ABC has consistently hidden in its lineup and burned off new episodes in little-watched time slots even though it has a half-hour slot open in its queue of successful Wednesday night comedies.

Anyway, all of this is a long-winded way of introducing the above gag reel, in which the employees of Veridian are required to swear at each other due to a typo on a memo. It’s excellent; there’s some really creative swearing in there — and that’s a compliment I don’t just go out handing to anyone. I think the show’s writers might read KSK.

The worst part about this show is realizing that we lost Portia to the dykes.

Got about a minute in before I was laughing too hard to not get noticed without shutting my office door.

You introduced this show to me sir, now I love it, and like so much of the TV I love they’re going to take it away. I blame you as much as I blame reality tv, middle america, and asshole tv execs.

Very innovative, they were way ahead of HP in not seeing black people.

I’ve really fallen for this show. Its smart, snappy, never a dull moment, and it doesn’t have any annoying kids. Doesn’t surprise me at all that its getting cancelled.

THE PUBLIC DEMANDS MORE JERSEY SHORE!

So ABC wants to cancel this, but bringing back Scrubs for another season with new characters after they had a SERIES FINALE is a good idea? Sure, why not?

Jay Leno thinks cancelling this show is a rash move.

I have watched a couple episodes, and I’m shocked to say that I did not find it very funny at all. Yay, go ABC!
