Better off Ted was great. The studio gave it a chance, even renewing a second season despite consistently poor ratings.
I don't know why it flopped. It certainly wasn't due to the usual corporate malfeasance, like what happened to Firefly. Maybe it was just timing; I'm honestly surprised that broadcast TV is still lurching along, with the pressure from streaming services.
