Ted: The Animated Series (Peacock)
 


Quote:
From Seth MacFarlane, comes TED: The Animated Series, a sequel to the beloved "Ted" and "Ted 2" films. This series reunites MacFarlane, who reprises his role as the voice of Ted, with his big screen castmates: Mark Wahlberg, as the voice of Ted's best friend, John; Amanda Seyfried, as the voice of John's wife, Sam; and Jessica Barth as Ted's wife, Tami-Lynn. Picking up twelve years after the conclusion of the last movie, John and his thunder-buddy Ted are neighbors, both with families of their own and dead-end jobs. Follow these two lovable stoners as they enable each other's bad ideas about marriage, parenting and the challenges of adult life.

This looks really good, also I like fourth wall break in this teaser also hopefully this will not be Family Guy 2.0 it likely won't be

I wonder if a cartoon is more or less expensive than live-action with a fully-integrated lead CGI character.

I know Seth McFarlane is the creator behind Ted and all but... There are already three other shows with this same art style...

And just because I had to check how many there were to be sure, I found out Family guy is getting another spin-off about Stewie. So technically, there will be five shows using this style.

Yes but hopefully writing for this series will be different

Infinitely cheaper. No SAG rules really apply, a crew of 100+ now becomes just the animating team (probably largely software-based by this point, I'd imagine) plus the director directing how he wants the voice actors to "Act." That's it.

Do you like this teaser and art style for this series? Just curious about this

Probably. And a lot easier for the actors as they no longer have to pretend something is there and act around a prop or something. That has to be exhausting after a while.

Let's just hope it will have different writing than Family Guy

I take it that you don't like Family Guy?

I never liked Ted. Just saw the first one. I’m sure the art style is purposely meant to fit with the Family Guy universe so they can do cameos.

I love Family Guy and American Dad though but I’m disappointed the Stewie spinoff will be it’s own thing and not in continuity.

I know it doesn’t really have a storyline and they just do whatever they want but it’s all generally connected. Especially Brian and Stewie.

To be honest, I'm surprised this I.P. has had the legs it's had. The first movie was fine - slightly novel for the whole "childhood toy" angle, but pretty typical fare for MacFarlane. But it's nothing I ever imagined would have launched a somewhat lengthier property.

Me neither. I always liked the original concept of a kid getting a magical wish... but life moves and the kid grows up but the wish is still there.

Well not that much, especially later seasons maybe, but it probably will have different writing than Family Guy

This Ted series might be connected unlike Family Guy maybe

Maybe one episode will be about Doomsday movie and other about Harry Potter series coming to HBO Max 8 days after this series comes out because Seth loves to write parodies about popular culture
