Brad Walsh and Paul Corrigan are the co-showrunners of Peacock’s Ted prequel, teaming up with Seth MacFarlane to bring the outspoken teddy bear to TV screens. Yet it’s a bit of a change of pace for the duo, who are veterans of the more traditional sitcom world. What interested them in tackling a comedy that’s absolutely not traditional?Walsh and Corrigan, who served as executive producers on the long-running and critically acclaimed Modern Family, spoke to CBR about steering the Ted ship. They discussed collaborating with MacFarlane, whether or not streaming allowed them more freedom, and what they most enjoyed about making the show — which is now available on Peacock.Brad Walsh: Hopefully we did bring something new and original. But part of what brought both of us was the challenges involved. There [were] just a couple of things that we had never done before, that we were excited to try out and learn how to do. One [was] just a tonal shift; we’re used to making more family-friendly TV comedy. We had like 11 years on Modern Family, and before that, [worked on] all network stuff. So that tonal shift was interesting for us.
