Takin’ on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse. If you’re comfortable while you’re doin’ it, you’re probably doin’ it wrong.

20 nominations! Well deserved

 

[Think|Different]

It’s gonna (rightfully) clean up.

Ted Lasso cleaned up as I predicted. Let the naysayers talk now! Lol. Ted Lasso will sweep the categories its nominated in. I predict Brett wins his category for supporting actor.

I’m just very disappointed that Emily in Paris and Cobra Kai got nominated over the outstanding Mythic Quest.

I don't know how Cobra Kai got nominated for anything. That show took a deep dive in quality after season one (which was just alright). I can't even watch it anymore.

Love "Cobra Kai", but it is a comedy?!?

 

[SactoGuy18]

That's it. Since I have a Apple TV+ account, I will binge-watch Ted Lasso over the next week or so.

Much deserved. Can wait for season 2 next Friday.

Ted Lasso is excellent but some of those nominations sound very specific.

For some context, there are 119 Emmy categories.

Just in time for the start of Season 2 next week (July 23rd)

10 of the Ted Lasso nominations are the big categories. Lead actor, supporting actor and actress, and best show. Plus they got multiple writing and directing noms which are pretty good too. Bottom line, Ted Lasso cleaned up shop. The other non-Ted Lasso Apple shows mostly got bottom tier nominations unfortunately.

Wowza!! One of the highest number of Emmys in history to one comedy series.

 

[apps1991]

With 20 Ted Lasso now holds the record for most Emmy nominations for a comedy series in its first year passing Glee which earned 19

FutbolTed Lasso is life!

Reading an article about Ted Lasso and knowing that season 2 is coming soon but not sure exactly when, I don’t know why it couldn’t have been mentioned somewhere something like “Ted Lasso season 2 premieres on July 23 on Apple TV+”. It’s like posting a piece of news because it’s news but showing a lack of actual awareness to it.

Agreed, I searched for it in the article, then went to the google bot.

"Servant" received a nomination for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series

I thought the creepy opening camera shot for Season 1, cut off just as you're about to see what's going on up there, was better than the version for Season 2, which seems to go nowhere.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Congrats to the people working on Ted Lasso. A very well written and acted show. Looking forward to season 2.

Ted Lasso is the best comedy I’ve seen in a very long time. It was a funny, feel good show that came out at the perfect time.

 

[laudern]

The show just looks corny and ****. Some doofus holding a teacup? Who gives a cr*p.

It's actually a surprising show. I mentioned multiple times that the first time I watched the first episode, I didn't like it. I tried it again a few days ago, and I LOVED it, which simply means that the first time I wasn't in the mood for this type of show. My wife also loved this show. I found very interesting how it slowly changes from pure comedy (almost slapstick with a seemingly clueless main character) to something way more powerful.
I'd love to be more like Ted Lasso, and I'd love to have more Ted Lassos in the world.

I must agree. See my comment above. However I'd change the "it's a feel good show", to "it's a show about creating your own positive feelings".

I am finishing S1 today. I enjoyed this series so far.
