It was only a matter of time when Seth MacFarlane would bring one of his most beloved and obnoxious characters to the small screen!
Make way for TED – the series! Based on the live-action/CGI box office hit and sequel from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, it’s about a cherished teddy bear that comes to life as the result of a childhood wish.
TED is a pretty hilarious, over the top half hour comedy series about Bostonian teenager John Bennett and his best friend and forever “thunder buddy,” the foul-mouthed stuffed bear, Ted. The show takes place during the ’90s after his moment of fame has passed. Then, Ted is forced to enroll in high school with his best pal John, experiencing the highs and lows of teenage life, one bong hit at a time. While Ted may not be the best influence on John, when it comes down to it, he is always willing to go out on a limb to help his friend and his family.
The series stars MacFarlane as Ted, Max Burkholder, Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes and Georgia Whigham. If Family Guy can get raunchy, just wait for Ted!
Our Bonnie Laufer spoke with stars Alanna Ubach and Scott Grimes about trying to keep a straight face, working with Seth MacFarlane and crossing the comedy line.
TED premieres on Showcase in Canada on Thursday January 11th at 9:00pm.
