If someone would’ve told Peacock their biggest series would be about a horny, drug-addicted, foul-mouthed teddy bear, I bet the big whigs would’ve thought that person was crazy.
However, that is the case. So, today, the streaming service announced that Ted will be back for a second season.
Ted is the prequel to the two high-larious films, which were brought to the big and small screens by Seth MacFarlane.
The comedy takes place in the ’90s. We get to see Ted (MacFarlane) and his best friend, John Bennett (Max Burkholder), trying to survive their teenage years in high school. They get to try all the things we got to see them do when they were all grown up.
If you haven’t seen Ted, you should! It is so fucking funny and so wrong! And that is what makes it so right! Plus, Alanna Ubach deserves an Emmy for her portrayal as John’s mother, and Scott Grimes isn’t too shabby as her husband.
When Seth MacFarlane and I were kids, family sitcoms were so sugary sweet that you got a cavity watching them.
But let’s be honest. Our families were nothing like the Cleavers, the Bradys, or the Huxtables. But then again, Bill Cosby was nothing like Cliff Huxtable, as we now know.
Anyways, the kids of today are getting a sitcom that is more like their home life on January 11th.
Seth MacFarlane is bringing his naughty, trash-talking, pot-smoking, beer-drinking, talking Teddybear Ted to the small screen for a seven-episode event on Peacock.
In this comedic prequel event series to the Ted films, it’s 1993, and Ted the Bear’s (Seth MacFarlane) moment of fame has passed. He’s now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts, with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder), along with John’s parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach), and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham). Ted may be a lousy influence on John, but at the end of the day, he’s a loyal pal who’s always willing to go out on a limb for friendship.
What more do the fucking kids in America want and need? We are getting a foul-mouthed bear with parents and kids who curse equally as much and do things that we all do. Who needs moms who say gosh and darn when you can have dads who say shit and fuck?
Forget the Keatons. We now have Bennetts to be our role models. I can’t wait to show my nieces this series because they will be like Ted is just like you, Crazy Aunt Stacy!
In 2012, we fell in love with the foul-mouthed, horny, pot-smoking Teddy Bear Ted. And now he is back on Peacock for seven glorious episodes, which are the prequel to the two Seth MacFarlane movies. Yes, folks, MacFarlane will continue to voice his genius creation.

Yesterday on Family Guy, Peter and Lois had a big fight because he screwed up. So, he decided to make it up to her by getting her a Cameo with Chris Daughtry. And it worked. But not in the way he wanted!
I would love to know how they made this happen because it was brilliant and so unexpected.
And did they pay the singer a salary or just his Cameo fee? That is, if it wasn’t temporarily unavailable.
When most people think of Seth MacFarlane, they think he is a crude man, just like his shows Family Guy and American Dad. But there is another side to him.
The actor also sings the classics and has released an album with Dynasty’s Liz Gillies. And coming this holiday season, the two are releasing a Christmas record full of the standards. And it gets even better because he says, “‘We Wish You The Merriest’ features 13 spectacular orchestral arrangements by Andrew Cottee at @dreamtownmus1c.”
With their voices and their songs, this Christmas is going to be a lot merrier when you put their CD on.
We Wish You the Merriest comes out on November 3rd.
