“Dr. Sharron helped me remeber the even though football is life, football is also death. And that football is football too. But mostly that football is life!”
That’s the one. A general story throughout but each episode essentially a standalone, and so many fantastic episodes (and sure, some not as). D&D needs to get put back on streaming, though.
For someone who is not Black, it brings a glimpse into Black culture that I simply did not have. Plus, Anthony Anderson is perfect casting for the role.
A lot of the punchlines are “ha ha, aren’t they weird?”, which hits totally different if you’re the sort of person who the character is an obvious caricature of. Doubly so if the weirdness in question is associated with some form of neurodivergence. For some people - myself included - a lot of the laughs in that show feel very much like they’re laughing at you, not with you. It’s only funny if you identify more with the people on the other side of the joke.
That’s an interesting take. I’m sure they didn’t mean to hurt ND people, even if they did end up doing that. I loved the jokes despite identifying with most of the “weird” characters
My fiance and I needed something to put on in the background that wouldn’t distract us while we worked late during a very busy week. We picked a random episode in season 2 and ended up re-watching the whole show over the course of 3 weeks.
No I haven’t but I’ll definitely give it a shot. I didn’t know Bill Lawrence was involved in Ted lasso, maybe I’ll try it tonight, thanks for the suggestions.
Get ready to binge the entire show! I told myself, “I’ll watch the first few episodes” and two weeks later I had watched the entire first season three times. First by myself, then showed it to my fiancee, then showed it to my best friend.
It absolutely is worth $7 for the less-than-a-month it will take to watch Ted Lasso. And honestly Apple TV has a surprising number of good shows.
Shrinking is another from Bill Lawrence that is worth a watch, starring Jason Segal and Harrison Ford.
Schmigadoon is great if you like musicals.
Mythic Quest is from many of the same minds behind Always Sunny.
And there are others that have been recommended to me that I’ve yet to try out. One of my coworkers has recommended Severance but I haven’t seen it yet.
