    Better Off Ted

    The workplace comedy about Veridian Dynamics, the company that can make anything, whether it’s a good idea or not.

    It was on a major network, but the timeslot kept abruptly changing and the final two episodes were preempted by a live sports event, and never even aired in the US.

    Veronica: Ted, we need a mouse that can withstand temperatures of up to 300(?) degrees.

    Ted: Live mouse or computer mouse?

    Veronica: …I’ll get back to you.

    An attempt at creating an artificial meat:

    Jerome: It tastes familiar…

    Ted: Beef?

    Jerome: No…

    Linda: Chicken? We’ll take chicken.

    Jerome: [Shakes head.]

    Ted: What does it taste like?

    Jerome: Despair.

    Ted: Is it possible it just needs salt?
