Seth MacFarlane’s Comedy With 100% on RT Hits a Streaming Record With Over 1.2 Billion Minutes Viewed

by

This Peacock series has quickly become a hit, racking up over a billion minutes of viewing time since its second season premiered in March – exceeding all expectations. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the show is particularly popular with men aged 18-34, who tuned in large numbers and helped make it an immediate success.

The second season of Ted premiered on Peacock in March. Set in 1994, this season follows Ted, the irreverent teddy bear, and his friend John during their final year of high school. As John’s dad, Matty, continues to assert his dominance, conflicts escalate, particularly with his niece Blaire, whose progressive views clash with the rest of the family. The show has received a perfect 100% rating from critics and a 90% audience score.

What Makes Ted Work So Well?

Reviewers say the show balances silly humor with genuine heart, making it enjoyable despite some feeling the second season isn’t as strong as the first. Regardless, its high viewership proves it’s connecting with audiences. As Denise Zubizarreta of LatinaMedia points out, the show’s creator, Seth MacFarlane, is skilled at grounding outrageous comedy in relatable themes. While the show is often crude, it also cleverly explores how unchecked behavior can become commonplace when no one takes responsibility.

Both regular viewers and critics are loving the show, and fans are desperately hoping Seth MacFarlane will reconsider making a third season, especially after he hinted that Season 2 would be the last. One fan expressed how difficult it was to accept that there might not be more, saying they hadn’t laughed so hard in years and pleaded for another season. This sentiment seems widespread among viewers. However, MacFarlane appears determined to end the series at its peak, which would likely cement Ted‘s place as a truly memorable comedy.
