Better Off Ted

This new US sit-com has the fresh and lively feel of an officebound version of "Malcolm in the Middle" in terms of style and sensibility.
It stars Jay Harrington ("Desperate Housewives") as a research-and-development exec at a soul-deprived multinational corporation
Harrington gets to play off of a grand trio headed by "Arrested Development`s" Portia de Rossi as a ruthless witch of a hatchet woman who somehow manages to make cold assassination funny.
At the heart of "Better Off Ted`s" comedic genius is its rat-a-tat-tat dialogue that actually seems real, not forced. One also can tell how much care was taken in the casting based on the level of chemistry evident among the characters. Carrying it all effortlessly is Harrington, who looks to be fronting a sitcom with great instincts and promise

it starts on FX UK next month. Knowing that it got canned in its 1st season is it worth watching? I know it`s a comedy so not as likely to end on a cliffhanger, but I`ll still be annoyed with myself if I watch it and am left with lots of questions!

It actually got canned in its 2nd season (with 2 episodes still unaired in the US). It`s definitely worth watching though.
