Tangled Up In Wires

Well Better Off Ted fans, we had a bad feeling already, but it’s starting to feel worse now that the show’s title character, played by Jay Harrington, has booked a pilot. Harrington will star in the NBC pilot Nathan vs. Nurture, a comedy about a successful heart surgeon that is reunited with his birth father and underachieving brothers. Meanwhile, Ted co-star Andrea Anders, who plays Linda, has booked the female lead on the new Matthew Perry show for ABC, Mr. Sunshine, which follows the manager of a sports arena going through a midlife crisis when turns 40. On board as an executive producer is Thomas Schlamme, who is known for his work on both Sports Night and The West Wing, so that’s a good sign. Hopefully, we can get a Phil and Lem spin-off in the works in time for the fall season. Want to do your part to save Ted? Sign this online petition.
