TV Series (2024-2026). 2 seasons, 15 episodes. It's 1993 and Ted the bear's moment of fame has passed, leaving him living with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett, who lives in a working-class Boston home with his parents and cousin. Ted may not be the best influence on John, but when it comes right down to it, he's willing to go out on a limb to help his friend and his family.

	Media	Author	Review
		Joel Keller Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: Ted is definitely more watchable in Season 2, more interested in character and story than it was in Season 1"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"[2nd Season Review]: a funny series that should have been stupid, but, like the movies, it defies expectations and delivers a show that cannot help but make you laugh (...) Rating: 8 (out of 10)"
		Nate Richard Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: Ted Season 2 ends this chapter of the franchise on a high note, with its big laughs, hidden sweetness, and all the crude, filthy, and ruthless jokes that you could want. (...) Rating: 7 (out of 10)"
		Michael Hogan Telegraph	"[2nd Season Review]: Its comeback hits its stride with a newly confident swagger. It’s hard not to be swept along by its juvenile jollity (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Rachel Weber IGN	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 proves that Ted isn't just a one-trick bear and the rest of the Bennett family can pull their comedy and emotional weight. (...) Rating: 8 (out of 10)"
		Alison Herman Variety	"[1st Season Review]: The 'Ted' franchise has lain dormant for nearly 10 years. A pivot to streaming seems unlikely to revive it"
		Ryan Leston IGN	"[1st Season Review]: Everyone’s favorite trash-talking teddy bear is back, but he doesn’t have much new to say (...) 'Ted' falls short of mustering up the longevity of the kind of ‘90s sitcoms it’s clearly lampooning"
		Nate Richard Collider	"[1st Season Review]: While it may become repetitive, the series is still watchable and enjoyable for fans of the Ted movies."
		Jarrod Jones AV Club	"[1st Season Review]: Its crass humor isn’t a far cry from the films’ fratty outlandishness, but there’s a caution in Peacock’s Ted that is unmistakable"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"[1st Season Review]: What it lacks in ambition (or taste, or subtly, or class), it makes up for in disreputable humor of a surprisingly sturdy sort."
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[1st Season Review]: [It] doesn’t feature a single funny joke (...) Bloated episodes drag on without raising a smile – it’s a total disappointment (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"[1st Season Review]: The bad news about 'Ted''s prequel, is that all of its worst instincts are apparent from the jump (...) But if you can push past the initial tedium, the good news about Ted is that the episodes that follow represent a marked improvement"
		Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune	"[1st Season Review]: 'Ted' is cuddlier and cuter than you might expect (...) The opening dialogue is peppered with so many swear words that you might think you've stumbled into a Martin Scorsese gangster flick.
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"[1st Season Review]: It isn't big, it isn't clever and it's certainly not funny (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[1st Season Review]: The raunchy, politically incorrect tone from the movies remains intact (...) but with each episode extending past the half-hour mark there’s a lot of unnecessary material (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Ricky Valero Ready Steady Cut	"[1st Season Review]: While it doesn’t have the same magic as the movie, 'Ted' is an enjoyable comedy series filled with raunchy jokes. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		John Nugent Empire	"[1st Season Review]: Painfully, obnoxiously unfunny. This is one bear we didn’t need to bring back to life (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Ethan Anderton SlashFilm	"[1st Season Review]: [It] is a hilarious expansion of Seth MacFarlane's ribald comedy franchise. In fact, 'Ted' just might be one of the best TV adaptations of a movie that's ever been done"
		Rendy Jones rogerebert.com	"[1st Season Review]: [It] feels like a recycled toy"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"[1st Season Review]: This is a hilariously profane and sometimes gross comedy that balances out with well-written plots that harken back to a different time. I loved 'Ted', and I hope Seth MacFarlane keeps developing live-action comedies like this"
		Joel Keller Decider	"[1st Season Review]: [MacFarlane] stretches things out until the length itself becomes the joke. The problem with that style is that when the gags don't land, they're painful to watch"
		Chris Vognar Rolling Stone	"[1st Season Review]: When the gags hit, they do their cleverness resonates, especially for those of us who were alive and consuming culture in the series' early-Nineties timeframe"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"[1st Season Review]: ['Ted'] might not qualify as high art, but in its unpretentious silliness, this Peacock comedy is still more than bear-able"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[1st Season Review]: To its credit, it is trying to be funny, but its humor relies on viewers being shocked that such crude things could be said within the confines of a traditional sitcom"
