Ted returns as a television sitcom in an overlong 50 minutes format.

This prequel to the movies is set in the 1990s with Ted's best friend John Bennett is a 16 year old high school student. While Ted has hit the lows of being a once famous television star.

The first episode has Ted going to high school after he accidentally shot John's parents television set.

Now Ted wants to get expelled from school by being caught in possession of marijuana. They go looking for drugs and find that the local dealer is John's cousin Blaire. She is staying in a room over the garage while she goes to college.

Ted is shocked that John's overbearing dad is charging her rent for a room that even Anne Frank would find to be too tiny.

Only Ted and John get high on marijuana and the local school bully takes what is left of the drugs from them. So no school expulsion.

Later Blaire is getting kicked out of the house when John's parents finds drugs in the house. Ted and John try to save her.

Seth MacFarlane goes for a scattered approach with the gags. Some land, most of them miss. It is still funny enough. Despite the bad language, there is a morality and heart at its core.
