Seth McFarlane is curious to know the response on this series when it comes out. Here are more details regarding Ted TV series:
Seth MacFarlane Talks About Ted TV Series
The creator of Family Guy Seth MacFarlane is the director and co-writer of both TED films and series. He is not sure what the demand from the audience will be or how it will actually turn out. However finding the process of mapping out this show is already very rewarding. Here is what he has to say:
“Ted, which is taking up a lot of my time right now, is a prequel, taking place in 1993,” comments Seth. “It centers around the period pretty shortly after Ted became kind of washed up, and he’s now living outside Boston with John and his family, and he’s forced to kind of make his way through high school.
So it’s a piece of Ted’s life in between what you saw in the opening titles of the movie and in the opening montage, and where we find him with Mark Wahlberg that’s a part of that story we haven’t told yet.” He further adds the following:
“Whether people still have an appetite for Ted remains to be seen. It’s a very specific kind of comedy, but we are allowing it to be what it is.” However, in the creative process, MacFarlane adds that the story developing is “a pretty ripe area to draw from.”
