Like that clever use of the word "prescience"? There were a multitude of reasons why Better Off Ted failed, and none of them were because it was less than brilliant. It was genius, just like Phil and Lem. Too genius? And too critical of sociopolitics? Recently, I've noticed that the show had been rather prescient in how they predicted the technological advances, based on then-current research and hypothetical situations, and the social climate in which we now live in today, two years after its demise.
