Overall, "Ted" is a hilarious expansion of Seth MacFarlane's ribald comedy franchise. In fact, even though the bar has never been set consistently high in this department, "Ted" just might be one of the best TV adaptations of a movie that's ever been done.
Earns quite a few more chuckles than its big-screen counterparts.

Superb, funny ****'s like coming back to the 90’ I didn't expect to be so good. Very enjoyable. Give it a try.

We need more "comfort tv". Ted is a delight the intro music just sets you in a relax mood and the cursing from a cute teddy bear does the same. My wife does not like Family Guy or South Park, but in "they rent a porno episode" had her gutterally laughing. No real critic is going to put their stamp of approval on something like this, but this was the one show I was excited to be in our rotation, too bad it was only 8 episodes. Hopefully it doesn'tgo down like the Oriville.

Even with only seven episodes, the Ted series does start to wear out its welcome, with the storytelling becoming repetitive and predictable. While it is never boring by any means, one season may have been enough. There's only so much you can do with a franchise about a cursing, pot-smoking teddy bear who lives in Boston before it becomes tired.
The seven-episode Peacock miniseries is the ultimate "Now That's What I Call MacFarlane" mixtape cassette of all his familiar sitcom-styled bits recycled in another '90s nostalgia fest package of wavering quality.
Every so often, one of MacFarlane’s extended runners will click, or Ted’s sheer enthusiasm for a stupid idea proves infectious. But any chuckles brought out by the series feel like the kind of comedy you come up with out of sheer boredom.
Ted had the potential to be a heartwarming show with good coming-of-age stories — at least as heartwarming as a show about a pot-smoking, cursing, bigoted teddy bear could muster — but the episodes are drawn out by Seth MacFarlane-style gags to the point where we got bored.
Ted sets the scene in an introductory voice-over, saying that he was once a media sensation but “like every phenomenon, eventually nobody gives a s--t”. Which is exactly how you should feel about this series.
Pretty disappointed with this show. I loved the movies, so I was excited when they said they were working on a TV show. Unfortunately, the world has changed alot since the early 2010's. Half of the jokes here are pretty funny while the rest ****. The last couple of episodes ruin the show by going too PC (lesbian couple and the evil right wing moron dad, ofc).
My advice, don't watch this. Just re-watch the first movie if you feel like in the mood for a movie about a talking teddy bear.
Report
Show has some good moments but for someone who grew up in the 90s all the “woke” stuff never existed. The show spends two episodes on identity politics and get ready for some lesbian scenes. They also don’t spend a lot of time on John and Ted. Stick to the movies this one is a bust. Time to go back under a rock.
