“Better Off Ted” — the quietly awesome ABC sitcom you’re not watching — was preempted by President Obama’s address last night, and the show didn’t take it lying down.  This fake ad from Veridian Dynamics (the fictional super-corporation where the characters work) is a nice little viral video, and I hope it raises awareness of the show so it doesn’t get canceled.  I mean, I’m not gonna bitch and moan or start a “save this show!” campaign or tell you that you just HAVE to watch it, but it’s good.  Put it this way: if it were a chick, I’d do her.  Maybe not girlfriend material, but I wouldn’t lie to my friends about it, either.

[What's Alan Watching?]

Better off Ted (ABC) — Premiering at the 8:30 time slot between new episodes of “Scrubs” and “Lost,” “Better off Ted” is an absurdist office comedy from Victor Fresco, who also created “Andy Richter Controls the Universe.”  I may actually have to watch.  This one might not suck. (teaser above)

America’s Next Top Model (CW) — Runway etiquette, Jill Stuart fashion show, photo shoot on a tour bus, someone gets eliminated, Tyra Tyra Tyra.  Fin.

Human Prey (Animal Planet) — Wolves hunt Canadian campers; a coyote attacks a man mowing his lawn; a cougar attacks a bicyclist.  See, that’s why I never go outside.

Ghost Hunters (Sci Fi) — “Sorry, gentlemen, these licenses are expired.  Ghost season ended in February.  We’re gonna have to take you down to the station on poaching charges.”

South Park/Important Things (Comedy Central) — New episodes.  A lot of people are down on “Important Things,” but I like it okay.  I’m also a huge dork who likes grammar jokes.

American Idol (FOX) — Carrie Underwood performs tonight. I swear this GD show is on five or six nights a week.  **wanking motion** Wait, was that wanking motion dismissive of “Idol,” or genuine sentiment towards Carrie Underwood?  I don’t even know any more.
