Harrington research division supervisor Ted is like a more confident Liz Lemon, and Portia de Rossi's uberboss Veronica is like a blonde, pretty Jack Donaghy. The nerdy scientists who work at Veridian Dynamics are always coming up with crazy inventions and neuroses, not unlike Tracy Jordan, and there's even an insecure blonde named Linda who's always looking for love and/or workplace respect a la Jenna Maroney. And they know how to rock a guest star, too -- tonight's episode guest-stars Taye Diggs as a love interest for Linda, who gets paired with her through the company's genetic compatibility test. (Like Sheinhardt Wigs on 30 Rock, Veridian often imposes ill-advised policies on its staffers.)

Better Off Ted Season 2 premieres tonight at 9:30/8:30C on ABC. For more options, check out our Week in Preview.
