Dear ABC:

Dear ABC:

I want to bring to your attention a funny show you have on your network that you seem determined to kill, Better Off Ted. The entire cast is funny, and the scripts have been wonderful too, and yet you stick it in a time slot where it will be doomed to failure, after Scrubs.

Pardon me if I remind you that no one watches Scrubs. They might have 8 seasons ago, but they don't now, and sticking this funny show right after it, isn't going to do it any favors.

It would be a great fit for the Wednesday night comedy night, but for one thing, it doesn't fit in with the "family show" theme that The Middle, Modern Family and even Cougar Town bring to that night. Sadly its a more family friendly show than Cougar Town and deserves a slot in the 8 o'clock hour. I'm sure more people would come to love Veronica, Ted, Linda, Lem and Phil so much more if this show was in a better time slot.

Couldn't you try it at 8 o'clock on Wednesday rather than rehashing episodes of Modern Family.

Don't take away Better Off Ted!

Sincerely,

The Mistress Of The Dark

Although I was a huge fan of "Scrubs", I've only caught one episode this season. I feel it should have called it quits after its fifth season.

"Better Off Ted" would be better off if ABC added it to the Wednesday lineup. Since "Modern Family" is a breakout hit of the season, I would put "Better Off Ted" after it in the 8:30 slot.

Ugh, bad news... according to Wikipedia, "Better Off Ted" is now on hiatus and it's unknown if or when it will return to the schedule. If ABC doesn't know what to do with it, maybe another network will pick it up.
