Lem and Phil are up there with Sean Spencer and Burton "Gus" Guster as one of my favorite duos from any TV show I've seen.

Didn't I see something about Phil and Lem getting a spin off show or something...brb will edit with findings

Mission Control on NBC- will have both actors playing NASA scientists it looks like. So a very similar role to what they were in Better Off Ted. I'll watch it just for their chemistry.

I'll have to check that out when it premieres. They should have just allowed them to be Lem and Phil all over again.

I was coming here to start a "what's the next show you hope Netflix revives?" thread.

Just a quick jab: I wish they'd reboot ALPHAS.


As for Better Off Ted, I watched it when it was airing and it took a little while for me to really enjoy it. Around episode 20 or so, I really really didn't want it to end.

The show was fantastic. The 'black people not being seen' was one of the funniest sitcom episodes of the last 10 years.

I just watched this one. It was phenomenal. Now my side hurts.

It's ok. It doesn't target blacks. It just doesn't see them.

I could tell it was coming but when there was a separate water fountain for blacks I lost it.

Phil playing rugby for the University of Aruba Syphilitic Conquistadors is one of the gags I liked best.

I've been putting off the final episode for weeks out of sadness but finally watched it. I can't believe this show was cancelled so prematurely. It is easily in my top few favorite comedies. There are so many great gags, characters, and episodes. Now I'm sad, and even more so now that Phil and lem's new show is canceled.

Now for a rewatch.

Cancelled before it started, unfortunately.

I can't fathom why a show like BOT would get cancelled and yet the abundance of mediocre crap that's on TV is still thriving.

Like someone said I've put-off finishing this series just because it will be depressing.

I honestly don't know if they've had a bad episode so far. It's such an awesome sitcom.

Anything else that is similar to better off Ted? It probably edges out arrested development for favorite comedy for me. It's close though.

what a great speech.

I liked her as a bluth but Veronica>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lindsay

Nearly opposite characters in many respects, although both are self centered. it took me a few episodes to get past her not being Lindsay. But then I had trouble watching her in arrested development, wishing she were Veronica.

Lem and Phil are one of my favorite comedy dues of all time. They had great chemistry.

I recently re-watched Always Sunny. My mind exploded when i realized the black guy club promoter in the pilot episode was Lem
