I've always given him major props for not shying away from how douchey Ted often is. He goes all in. And the fact that he can then turn around and make us cry is terrifically impressive.

There's a not-insignificant part of me that wants to be just like Moira when I'm that age.

I was going to say, that seems HIGHLY unethical.

Paul Gross is a master of Shakespeare Voice.

It's also just way too cutesy. My problem is the sound of the word, really, especially combined with the statement "It's on ABC Family:" none of this shouts "quality programming."
