Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 24' - ted - Miniseries

ted is the latest Peacock series. This is the third instalment in the Ted franchise. The series is a prequel to the feature films. 

Seth MacFarlane, reprising his role as the voice of ted, with Max Burkholder, Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes, and Giorgia Whigham all starring.

So it looks like Binge now has a deal with NBC/Peacock moving forward. Stan used to have Peacock exclusives like Twisted Metal, however like Showtime originals it looks like Stan needs to find overseas content elsewhere now.

The eight (seven episodes overseas) part/episode series premiered on mid-January. So this is a little catch up. However this was a mega in the back ground show. The first two episodes (one in the USA) was awful. Like real bad. So what's it about?

The series is set in the early to mid 90's. ted depicts the early life of a sentient teddy bear toy named Ted, as he lives with 16-year-old boy John Bennett and his family in Framingham, Massachusetts.

In addition to John and Ted, the Bennett household includes John's father Matty, his mother Susan, and his cousin, Blaire, who is living with them while attending a college nearby. ted is soon forced to attend school with John, getting him bullied and in all sorts of trouble.


Okay, long story short. This was not good. I remember the movies being for stoners. The TV series is exclusively for lighting up, kicking back and going down one stupid teddy bear hole.

Peacock, you need to deliver a little better than this to remain relevant!
