Mystic Quest was annoying in too many ways. I would’ve loved to love that show being both gamer and dev.

edit: gave it another try and totally got it this time. It’s funny now!

Yet another nominations for awards I have never heard. Nominations for over 400 awards… Sounds like competition for small children where everyone gets a medal for participation 😁

Watched the first two episodes on an AA flight last week. Didn't hook me. Switched to Young Sheldon. Seemed like a much better comedy.

High five, tree!

Cobra Kai is a comedy? (thinks about it for a minute) I guess it is.

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn

I'd say it's a drama with many comedic elements. It's a TV show that is aware of itself. Calling S3 a comedy is quite hard, despite the many laughs.

Honestly, I watched the first two episodes and it didn't seem this great thing to me. It felt like a Major League (movie) based on soccer. Now, it's way possible that I wasn't truly in the mood for some comedy so I'll give it another chance.

This show is ok. Probably only sports fans will love it!

Yay, cable's ACE Awards are back! ;-)

My wife who hates all sports loves Ted Lasso (as do I).

Richly deserved. Best show on TV in 2020 hands down.

Hang tight. Ted Lasso about to pick up 8 primetime Emmy noms next week. I'm sure you've heard of the Emmy awards.

Nope. Weird flex, but wrong.

Ted Lasso has been out for almost a year, and your words are objectively and factually incorrect.

Episode 3 and on changes the whole dynamic of the show. Need to give it a couple more episodes and you will get it.

So not true! This is what happens when people take things at face value. I'm not a sports fan and I adore this show. In so many ways, it's not about sports.

I've never seen this show (only trailers) so I'm not bashing it. Looks like Jason is just doing one of his SNL characters, though.

Don’t judge a book by it’s trailer. this character is far above anything he’s done on SNL, way more nuance and depth of character. You see many angles of this character as he interacts with different people, and he always feels authentic and real.

Less than 336 hrs to go until season 2 starts.

I agree that the premise is quite similar. And Ted Lasso is much more nuanced than Major League ever was. And Major League is still a classic.

I actually just rewatched E1 and finished it like two minutes ago. I liked it a lot. I was probably not in the right mood when I watched it the first time.
