Better Off Ted would fare better if it were canceled! Seriously, a repeat of The Forgotten beat it! More like Better Off Dead!

jake scrubs was never on comedy central

*sigh* I want BoT to stick around... for me, it's the funniest TV I've ever seen outside of Futurama. It's nice to have something that actually makes me laugh out loud.

Even if the networks do end up airing something funny (you guys are saying Ted is, I have no idea), the people who like edgy and creative comedy will not be watching to appreciate it. I just caught a glimpse of Scrubs, and ABC eviscerated even the little humor that was in it back in the Comedy Central days. WHy would I go back 20 minutes later, hoping that they can create something good, if they couldn't even reproduce something that was already mlldly funny?

Wow...so BOT is getting canceled...that show is hilarious.

Better Off Ted is way too good for those ratings. It was probably the Biggest Loser Finale that did them in. People can't resist watching fat people lose weight. Sorta like how people can't resist watching washed up celebs try to dance. Ambulance chasing never gets old.

The BoT numbers make me very sad :(. It really is funny, people!
