What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

Better Off Ted is still my favorite sitcom. Corporate came along and tried to pick up the mantle, but I still prefer Ted.

Yes! I was thinking of this when I wrote the question. I feel like it was great and just totally disappeared.

I kept thinking about it's parody ads when all those 'we're in this together' ads kept playing during the start of the pandemic.

I would upvote this fifty times if I could. Better Off Ted was an absolute gem.

Loved Better Off Ted. I still use Veronica's "I'm going though a tunnel..." line when speaking to someone in-person.

The hair is up. That's all they hear.

I often quote "deal with it, Ted"

Yeah! Deal with it!
