Dr. Ted Goodwin is Frankie Heck's lonely, over-friendly, dental boss who is oblivious to sarcasm.

Dr. Goodwin was originally joking with Frankie that he should come over to her house for Thanksgiving and oh maybe he will. Well he did. At the Thanksgiving house, Mike's brother Rusty 's sleazy ex wife (which they didn't know about the divorce), Marlene Heck-Ludlow came over with her kids from previous marriages. Marlene liked the fact that Dr. Goodwin was a dentist and kept coming on to him. Brick stated that he thought she was Uncle Rusty's wife. She said they got a divorce and that him not communicating with anyone was one of their big problems, that and her sleeping with his best friend, but that was in the top 3.

During the family's football game, she and her kids, and Dr, Goodwin were on the same team. She tackled Dr. Goodwin even though they were on the same team to the ground. Dr. Goodwin became very scared of her.

Mike wanted Frankie to put up fliers for a lost dog. She claimed tape didn't stick well in this weather.  Dr. Goodwin was feeling lonely for a while.

He began to hang out with Frankie. Frankie accepted this because he signs her paychecks, and he's 5x nicer than her last boss Mr. Elhert, but he could still fire her, and she's not that great at her job. After Dr. Goodwin's terrible stand-up comedy act, he told Frankie he just needed something to fill the gap ever since Toffee ran away. Toffee was apparently his dog that (despite being a dentist) was named Toffee because he was white with brown spots and was sweet like toffee. Frankie realized the exact description and did the right thing and gave him to Ted Goodwin. Mike was bonding over a basketball game with Colin Firth at the time. Frankie walked him into the dental office, which made Dr. Ted Goodwin so happy. Frankie said she saw a family with lost dog fliers. He said it looked so much like toffee too. Frankie questioned this, and Dr. Goodwin said toffee only had three legs, but this could be his twin! Colin Firth resides with Dr. Goodwin currently even though Frankie said they could schedule walks in the park together.
