Better Off Ted "Bioshuffle"

I stopped watching Better Off Ted for a little. I felt like it was too much quirk for one bite, but I eventually came back to it because let's face it, there is nothing good to watch during the week aside from Nurse Jackie and Weeds, therefore, I turn my attention to light things like this and America's Got Talent. Any why not? They're fun and don't need too much attention.

After a toxic liquid leaks from the lab onto Linda's desk, the whole floor becomes quarantined. Linda, having nowhere to stay, he asks Ted if she can stay with him. Ted, being charming and unprofessional, says yes. Linda moves into Ted's spacious office with her pet goldfish. Apparently, to Linda, being cute means pretending to be a fish's "wa-wa" aka mother. There's some very funny fish involving the fish's "wa-wa" in which Linda stares at the fishbowl and says lines like "Can you say wa-wa?".

Things aren't perfect for too long when Linda becomes a mere distraction for Ted rather than an office attraction. Eventually, he asks Linda to write a report of some sort and she refuses. Linda then makes more remarks towards her fish. One day, she catches him staring at her butt instead of working and then gets all pissed for some reason. Didn't she want to get with him last time I checked? I thought that was the whole point of this sexual tension.

In other news, Lem finds a hot Asian girl who he wants to go out with. He finally asks her out. The next day, she tells him that last night went well, but Lem remembers (in a flashback) headbutting her by accident when they were about to kiss and he sneezed from her perfume. Very funny. The next day, he finds her with another man and of course, breaks up with her.

Ted eventually persuades Veronica to reopen the office and let Linda go back to her workspace. There's one part where she assembles a gun and shoots a pillow, but that's off topic as most of this series seems to be. During the end credits, Linda is picking up boxes from Ted's office. He stares at her butt just one more time, but this time she has taped a note saying "If you're staring at this, you're being unprofessional." A nice little touch.
