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.
This is what we call peak television. Ted has no intentions of making a hot sex scene. Its only purpose is to make you laugh as much as possible, while delivery some scandalously giggly imagery along the way. And it deliver it perfectly, giving us one of the year's first truly unforgettable TV moments.
