I think expectations were low for this first season and the writers could take some risks. Not sure they can do that with the increased popularity, but hopefully they prove me wrong. At least they're not having to draw it out over more than 10 episodes a season. Really makes a difference when telling a story. More episodes would probably require more sit-com standards and that would really suck. This was a great show and I'm hoping the next story can live up to this one.

There are probably a bunch of people rewatching old TV promos and commercials trying to find the next idea for a show.

I dont think we should over-think the background. Someone mentioned Scrubs...that's a good example. It's a great show that happens at a hospital, but it wasnt exactly medically accurate. But who cares...it was fun the way it was.


We's finna fight, now.

The medical advisor on that show was the real JD that show-JD was based off of. He was a college roommate of Bill Lawrence. He also told Bill he would only do it if they took the medical part seriously and got it right. Scrubs was voted the most medically accurate show on TV by the AMA.

No thread on this yet?

Showrunner Bill Lawrence with David Sudekis. Built on the NBC Sports sketch from a few years ago where an American football coach is hired to run an EPL team.

It's on AppleTV+. Three episodes out as of 8/14, and it is outstanding. It needs a couple of episodes to settle in, but by the end of the third I was hooked and furious that there were no more out.
My favorite show currently. It's fantastic and Ted makes me want to be the best version of myself. 10/10.

Ted and the Asst Coach's relationship is great. Bring in the Diamond Dawwwgs!

That's amazing. And I was just thinking about how sad it was that there was no new Lasso today.

Just watch them again. I've rolled every episode a few times already and imagine I'll keep doing it.
It does suck how far away we are from more though.

That weird, they deleted it off the AFC Richmond Twitter. It was a little video montage to the Roy Kent chant.

It was the Roy Kent song. Is that account not owned by the show? I thought they ran all those fake accounts.

Yeah, that's why I was confused. Maybe the tune was from another song or the images?

Did they have Ted say offsides instead of offside? I don't remember that if they did.

Wife and I just binged this show. I suggested it after reading the first page of this thread.

What a great show. I went in hoping for a few laughs, but this gripped us emotionally 1000% more than I ever expected. Shame it is only on Apple TV. Jason Sudeikis deserves an Emmy.

That's exactly what this show did to my gf and our friends. Ted is such a great person.

The Incomparable podcast just released an episode on Ted Lasso.

Football is life! But even if you don't care about sports, you should still watch "Ted Lasso" on Apple TV+. It's a very funny show that's also full of empathy and respect for its characters, which never goes for the cheap joke, and takes the tropes of every sports movie you've seen and uses them in ways you're not expecting. And we've left plenty of space before the Spoiler Horn for our cross-Atlantic panel to explain why you should watch it and why we love this fusion of American and English sensibilities. We believe in Ted Lasso, and you will too.

I don't know that I would say it never goes for the cheap joke, and it's not exactly breaking new ground on sports movie tropes.

It just does them very well, and is especially funny if you enjoy Jason Sudeikis' and Bill Lawrences style of humor.
Coach Beard is especially funny to me, so droll.

Is it bad we've already discussed when we should upgrade our iphones/ipads specifically so we can watch the new season? I guess that's the point in AppleTV+ being 'free'

I believe all new iPhones come with a free year of Apple TV. My phone did. My year is almost up but just got an email it's being extended for a couple months.
