Also that year through 2010, she had a recurring role on Better Off Ted as Janet S. Crotum, the head of human resources of Veridian Dynamics.

On May 13, 2010, ABC cancelled the series due to low viewing figures. After the cancellation of Better Off Ted, Belcher moved on and began another recurring role on the Disney Channel sitcom. Good Luck Charlie, playing neighbour Estelle Dabney. It ran for four seasons, ending in 2014.
