Set in 1993, this prequel to the film 'Ted' finds the foul-mouthed teddy bear's celebrity long faded, reduced to living out his days with best friend John Bennett, a floundering 16-year-old in a working-class Boston household. Seth MacFarlane again voices Ted opposite Max Burkholder's John, with Alanna Ubach and Scott Grimes rounding out the Bennett family chaos around them. Ted remains a terrible influence, pushing schemes and profanity-laced pep talks on his best friend, but beneath the vulgarity sits real loyalty when the family needs him most. It's MacFarlane's brand of raunchy nostalgia, swapping the movie's rom-com stakes for a shaggier, sitcom-paced hangout comedy.
