Better Off Ted -- "Battle of the Bulbs" -- 12/22/09

Better Off Ted

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Lem's mother (Khandi Alexander) visits the company, and begins an affair with Dr. Bhamba (Maz Jobrani). Elsewhere, Linda steals Ted's thunder by suggesting an improvement for his project...a light bulb that never burns out.


Forgot to post this last night.

Well, unfortunately it appears this show is as good as Dead. ABC is doubling up episodes in January and the season will wrap up at the end of the month.

Ugh, didn't think anything would be new this week and I don't remember if I set up a season pass or just record episode to episode.

I'd buy popcorn kernels that popped in your mouth simply from the warmth of your mouth.

Khandi Alexander can't be enough to be Lem's mother, can she? She still looks good, though.

Ahhh... NewsRadio Kathryn...

They're doing the same thing to Scrubs too. I wonder if this is just more of their overreaction to the winter olympics in february?

Looks like Veridian Dynamics manage to license out their sensor technology:

Lots of great lines in this episode, from the "Hit it before the crazy overwhelms the hot" to "Yes, I wish I had a third yes."

My brother-in-law runs a store in Madison, WI called Fromagination and on the 23rd Matt LeBlanc was in the store with his girlfriend. She is from Madison. I didn't think anything of it until today when I was searching to see who his girlfriend. Lo and Behold it's Andrea Anders (Linda) Just a quick sidenote.

She could do much better.

Thought this was an okay episode.

The scenes with Linda being assertive about her scented light bulb were kinda funny.

It was cool seeing Khandi Alexander again in a role other then Alexx from CSI Miami.

Well, essentially it has been canceled along with Scrubs. ABC is burning through the entire season through January.

Yeah, I was watching and laughing all the way through this one (highlight being: Hit it before the crazy overwhelms the hot") realizing that this show is doomed.
