One of THE funniest and freshest sit-coms to come along in quite a while. I find myself laughing out loud (and long)on several occasions in each episode. I hope it gets renewed if it hasn't been already.

Too right!

I enthusiastically concur.

I fear that if 2 or more Browncoat-types like it, it's just gotta be cancellation bait. But I have been pleasantly surprised before (though not nearly often enough), so maybe they'll let the funny continue.

The guy that plays Ted, Jay Harrington, appeared in an ep of Burn Notice, 3rd season (I'm almost positive) - the one where Michael & Co. help rescue the kidnapped...kid. (I suppose it's possible that Michael's done that more than once, but I'm new to BN and the first 2 seasons remain a delightful mystery awaiting my exploration. Or something like that...

And I would be remiss (and out of character) if I did not comment on Portia de Rossi (Veronica) and Andrea Anders (Linda)...and that comment would be...they are both hot. And they're hot in different ways. It's like a mini-smorgasbord hotness.

I may not agree with all your politics, Rip, but I can't fault your taste!

If anything, Washnwear, it's the remainder of the site that keeps me coming back. RWED is fun and informative at times, but it's reminders like this, that we all share common interests, that makes me smile.

Hmmph! - I know the day is still young, but it's starting to feel a little lonely here. Surely we can't be the only 2...?

LOL...

Give it time. We have built it so they will come.

I think the Veridian Dynamics commercials are a hoot. The one last night said something like, "We hate spending money, but we do it anyway because we LOVE nature!" I was already laying on the floor and this had me literally rolling around I was laughing so hard. Go figure.

I thought I could find a couple of those faux-mercials to post here, but none of the really funny ones are on-line anywhere that I can see.

I swear I had a Firefly/Andy Richter Controls the Universe/Better Off Ted(both sitcoms made by the same company) dream last night.

Things I remember are:
-The crew of Serenity wasn't 8 or 9, but 24(the regular characters from the shows plus extras).
-The galley was a bit bigger to make room for a big ass conference table.
And...
-It was too damn funny.

Or the weaponized pumpkins.
Or the dog that speaks Italian.(Oops, that one's from Andy Richter)
Or the living computer with an ulcer.
