The intrigue: Seth MacFarlane's 2012 film gets the prequel treatment in this series about a teenage John Bennett, his family and the teddy bear that came to life.
What they're saying: With MacFarlane juggling multiple projects simultaneously, we asked executive producers Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh about MacFarlane's level of involvement in "Ted."
