Many people say they set the bar high in their daily lives. For Ted, he literally sets the bar even higher. And in this case, the bar is a set of telephone lines. Ted thinks he can fly high, and he attempts to prove that by leaping over some low-slung phone lines in his backyard. Not surprisingly, his Fosbury Flop falls short, knocking over one of the poles and breaking a window on his house. A call to his insurance agent was not the closing ceremony Ted was looking for.

Inspired by all of the TV coverage of the Summer Sports Spectacular, Ted decides to show that he’s still got it in his old high school sport: discus. After warming up his no-so-limber muscles, Ted grabs the discus, spins like a top and tosses it toward the heavens. Unfortunately, discus meets dish—satellite dish—and knocks out his TV service. Yet again, Ted’s over-the-top antics result in property damage, illustrating the value of proper insurance.

After a whirlwind spring debut, Ted and Traci are back with a 3-part miniseries inspired by the summer's biggest sporting event. The first installment sees Traci, ever-influenced by what she sees on TV, trying to match the tumbling moves of her favorite athletes...albeit in her rather small living room. Not surprisingly, her flips and jumps land her in a heap of trouble instead of at the top of the medal stand. A perfect example of the dangers of in-home gymnastics.
