In the Richmond player auction episode Ted tells Rupert that obsession over a sports team is like an obsession with your friends older sister, but if you ever go to Kansas City don't tell Tom Dineen that.

The lady that owns the boutique where Rebecca buys her outfit was named Tammy Dineen.

The first episode was terrible. It felt like there was a lot of forced goofiness and each character doing their predictable little schticks.

What was the point of the black baseball players tangent with Higgins and Coach Lasso talking about his white privilege? If they're already getting preachy with the wokeness this early in the season, I can't imagine what it will be like when the women's soccer players start getting introduced.


I don't think this is the show for you. Keep it on Fox news.

Lots of good callbacks in this first episode...even callbacks to the original NBC commercials that started this whole series...but that is a really great catch!

I also liked the Wizard of Oz angle they wove into the episode.

Played by the same actress that played Laurie Bream on Silicon Valley.

I knew she looked familiar but couldn't place her. Solid glow up.

And Jason Sudekis and Brett Goldstein have both acknowledged Wizard of Oz themes in past seasons, definitely tracks here too.

That song at the end is amazing.
I've listened 4 or 5 times since.

Went to his profile and saw that his most popular forum is politics. Shocker.

That was another thing my wife loved. She's had that song on her playlist for a few years now. She was like, "nobody else knows that song!"

I knew it wasn't but sure sounded like him.

Fun fact, Christa Miller does all the music for Bill Lawrence shows.

Seems like a show that few wanted back but Jason Sudeikis needed the work. And this is a series that I really enjoyed about 5 years ago.

After watching the first episode I'm not sure what all the whining is about. This was very much in the same vein as what we come to expect from Bill Lawrence. Some fun, good music, and a little soul searching.

There wasn't anything woke about this episode. And I'm so far right I'm practically left. The negro league thing was exactly the catalyst Higgins needed that was mentioned earlier on this thread.

Will this suck, maybe. But episode one certainly warrants watching by episode two.

Y'all can keep discounting the woke political messaging that's in this show (and will continue to ramp up), but even talking that out, this show is just not what it used to be. Overall the whole first episode felt forced and mostly unfunny.

I loved season 1, one of the funniest seasons of all time. Season 2 was still really good, but a bit of a drop and some pointless filler. Beard After Hours was the worst episode of the entire series. Season 3 really dropped for me. Boring, episodes that went on way too long, too much filler crap, very little soccer and just not at all funny.

I agree completely. Season One is funny, surprising, charming, and very rewatchable.

Season Two is a drop off, and Season Three is just unwatchable.

I was not encouraged by the first episode of Season Four, but I will continue to look in for a while, anyway.

Watched it last night and agree that it felt forced and like they were trying too hard.

It felt like most shows that end and then try and come back after the magic is gone and it's just not the same.

I'll tune in and check it out, but am not super hopeful as for the first episode. I love the first two seasons, so I really do want it to work

I thought the middle of season 3 took a few tangents that weren't really adding to the story, but they nailed the landing.

I enjoyed it. I love Rebecca (Hannah)and just came off of finishing her new campy spy show on Prime which was a good summer binge. So it was fun seeing her in KC and I thought it was funny and endearing and didnt really find it preachy.

Please explain because I'm intrigued.

Serious question: why does pointing out social injustices in our country make something "woke"? And why is acknowledging or learning about that history a bad thing? The show is drawing a comparison between the racial segregation of baseball and women being excluded from the beautiful game.

You can think the comparison is heavy-handed or that the storyline isn't well written, but I don't understand why simply discussing an uncomfortable part of American history is something to be concerned about.

Not to answer for them, but to the best of my understanding, "wokeness" is basically the "preachiness" of the discussion. Talking about issues is one thing, but getting into how people should feel about them and what they should do in response is another thing.

Serious answer: In this case, because it's a silly show about a football coach who becomes a know-nothing soccer manager, based on a commercial. It's not a documentary or even a drama that focuses on said injustices.

In other words, when something is shoehorned in, especially when there is little context, it can be defined as woke or wokeness.

Second serious answer: Sometimes, the constant reminders of social injustices of the past are wearisome, especially when they show up in the least likely of places. Some viewers just want to watch a show about a coach-turned-soccer manager and laugh a little.

If that's what they think this show is about, they've kinda missed the point of the show.

There was nothing preachy about that scene. To me it was a good way to compare the lack of women being allowed to play football. And it's not the Us that has a history of injustices. But that's just my take.

If people didn't go around looking to get offended, this world would be a better place.

And that goes for libs and maga.

It did become a bit eyrolling. Keeley's bisexual relationship that felt so unnatural and forced that it felt more like clipboard checking (and I think Trent became the best character on the show before anyone accuses of me of anything), big bad oil, immigration issues, black owned restaurant being destroyed by white racists, "shut up and dribble", and rich men are evil. I don't mind political issues in tv, but it was too much, such a departure from the first season and very obviously one sided that it was a turn off.
