The two hundred and twentieth TV show: #814 Better Off Ted
Sixteen years on, Better Off Ted's workplace comedy still feels right, with an grounded absurdism that fits with 30 Rock and other comedies of their day. The company being an evil multinational - literally inviting death machines - adds to the heightened feeling of the setting, even as everything else is still towards real life. At the same time, there are so many things that follow office politics we know from everyday life. The performances are all spot on. It's so good, it's clear the show was cancelled too soon.
