Synopsis: In this comedic prequel event series to the Ted films, it’s 1993, and Ted the bear’s (voice of Seth MacFarlane) moment of fame has passed. He’s now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder), along with John’s parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach) and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham). Ted may be a lousy influence on John, but at the end of the day, he’s a loyal pal who’s always willing to go out on a limb for friendship.
TED is helmed by executive producer/writer/director/co-showrunner Seth MacFarlane, EPs/writers/co-showrunners Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh, and exec producers Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark, Aimee Carlson (Fuzzy Door Productions). The series hails from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, Fuzzy Door and MRC.
