A Show To Nowhere

I wondered the same thing and there were two episodes on Antenna this weekend where Ted did pretty well.

In Minnesota Vicki Ted was promoted to head of a new division, but after all the red tape and construction his position would not open up till the end of the century.

In Vicki Doolittle when they found out that the lady with the show dog used to be bowling alley waitress she told her husband (who had some position of authority at the plant i guess) to give Ted a raise.
