'Better Off Ted'(8:30PM, ABC) series premiere
Veridian Dynamics' Research and Development head Ted is beginning to wonder if his company might be just a tad shy of what could be termed ethical.
The single dad ('Desperate Housewives' Jay Harrington) is a team player in this new workplace comedy (he helps Veridian turn pumpkins into weapons of mass destruction for a foreign client), but now his frosty boss Veronica (Portia de Rossi) wants Ted to cryogenically freeze one of his co-workers.
Even Ted's seven-year-old thinks it's a bad idea, and further interaction with one-night-stand Veronica could hurt Ted's chances with his new co-worker crush, but as he soon finds out, Veronica doesn't like to take no for an answer.
