Cool.

Maybe one of you can help me out, where do I know Lem from? He looks and sounds familiar but nothing seems familiar looking at his imdb page.

I just spotted this in my TiVo To Do list. Hooray!

Did ABC decide to pick this up or are they just burning off episodes like they did/are doing with Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone?

That is awesome I am excited, now to say the gayest thing I've said in awhile. I hope I am back from the Farmers Market in time.

He played the gay guy in the first episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The one that the guys hire to work as the bouncer and turns their bar into a gay bar.

Also good news for those who use Itunes. "Racial Insensitivity" is free on Itunes right now probably the funniest episode of the season, and the one I use when explaining to others why the show is funny.

Awesome. Downloading on my iPhone as we speak. This was one of the best episodes of the series.

Well at least you saw some parts - the episode wasn't even shown here in the Buffalo area as we instead
got a 30 minute info commercial promoting Toronto. They didn't even bother to show it after Jimmy Kimmel
like they have done in the past for other ABC shows that weren't shown in their regular time slots due to
local sports or info commercials being shown instead. Guess I'll have to catch the show online.

LB...

My local affiliate sold the half-hour to an infomercial.

^ He most certainly did. As I recall he explained the ex-wife/daughter thing.

I do believe that Better Off Ted has been renewed for next season as a mid season replacement.

Our DVR cut off at the end of the episode when Ted was talking to Linda. Did we miss anything?

Guess I will have to start padding the DVR for the other episodes just in case.

Linda tells Ted he was using MFC to let out his frustration about his ex-wife. Lem and Phil tell Ted that MFC took a vote, made him king, then voted him dead. LOL. Linda shares that she is frustrated by the way Veronica treated her after she broke off their friendship. Final shot, Linda in a Xena outfit, wielding a sword, while Lem and Phil cautiously back up.

Great episode!

Linda to Veronica over wine: "How are you sotally tober while I am getting fit-shaced?"

Veronica to Linda "I secretly fed my sister while she was asleep so she would never be skinner than me" - followed by a shot later in the show of Veronica feeding her sleeping sister pudding.

Groth to Lem and Phil: "I can't be in Medievel Fight Club. I have a girlfriend now!"

Man, the DVR cut off a lot. Thanks for the recap. My wife liked the line about Veronica feeding her sister in her sleep.

Bump

New episode tonight:

Trust and Consequence

Spoiler:


Linda becomes a scapegoat when Veridian is sued over a perfume that caused hornets to attack women. Elsewhere, the depositions for the case affect Phil's friendship with Lem. Dr. Bhamba: Maz Jobrani.



This is episode 10. There is 3 more left. I think ABC should have saved these remaining episodes for season 2. Ratings have been horrible since obviously noone who owns a Nielsen box is watching.
