This show is about Ted, a corporate executive trying to survive in a workplace full of insane rules and questionable ethics. He works for a company that sells absurd products like weaponized pumpkins and chairs that detect sadness. The funniest moments come from the company’s ridiculous policies and experiments, which feel even more relevant now than when it aired. It didn’t last because it never found a big audience and probably felt too weird for network TV at the time. Today, it feels ahead of its time, especially with how it mocks corporate nonsense and office culture.
