As ABC starts ridding its inventory of the canceled shows - and there are a lot - the alphabet network is set to air the remaining episodes of shows that were taken off schedule in the last month or so.  Among them is comedy

ABC unveiled its Fall schedule today and it features an ambitious lineup of new series to premiere all season long.  The schedule features eight new shows, including a Wednesday night that contains nothing but new programs.  This is identical to the strategy ABC used two years ago when it premiered three new hour-long shows on Wednesdays.

Better Off Ted remains in the "bubble," so to speak, and as its season (or series) finale airs tonight, there are still six unaired episodes which have been filmed should ABC decide to renew the quirky rookie comedy.  Tonight on "Get Happy," Veridian Dynamics big boss Veronica (Portia de Rossi) works on improving company morale.  She also plans to reinvent herself as someone more likeable.  All these, after a survey reveals that the staff is miserable.  As for Ted (Jay Harrington), he tries to win over an older demographic.

The Office with a geeky twist.Better Off Ted is a single-camera satirical comedy that premiered on March 2009. It follows Ted (Jay Harrington), the head of Research and Development at a multinational company called Veridian Dynamics.

Despite premiering to humble ratings, ABC‘s Better Off Ted was generally well-received by critics.  The sci-fi comedy opened in the offices of Veridian Dynamics, where we met protagonist Ted, played by Jay Harrington, who gave the viewers a running tour of the place, including what happens on an average day.  We got to meet his minions, Lem and Phil, played by Malcolm Barrett and Jonathan Slavin, who were working on zany experiments that included pumpkin weapons and edible steel.  There‘s also his boss, played by Portia de Rossi, and his love interest Linda who‘s a product tester, played by Andrea Anders.  On its first offering, Ted was caught in the middle when the company decided to freeze Phil (Jonathan Slavin) in its new cryogenics chamber.
