We’re joined by Chris Khatami (Spec Script) to talk about Better Off Ted, the biting satirical look at corporate office culture and product development. This is our first episode where we’re covering a workplace comedy set in an actual office, so there’s plenty of talk about cubicles, elevators and open office floor plans! The stuff you’ve subscribed to us for!

For real, we talk about what used to happen to canceled shows, how to achieve cult status when you’re fighting for time slots, rapid fire comedy, comedies about offices, not the comedy called The Office, and bleak views of Corporate America (TM).

Syndicated with Lesley and Ben is a twice monthly podcast about television, genre and storytelling in which your hosts watch one episode of a new show and explore the history of television one episode at a time. From family room sitcoms to space exploration shows, reality TV to procedurals and game shows, we’re going to cover it all and give you the context you need to understand the wonderful world of television and the stories we love. Our Logo is by Terra Bosart, the theme song is by Mandra Sigma and the show is edited by Ben Hamlin.
