Yeah, Sudeikis kills the sincerity needed for it to work perfectly. Watch the two commercials they did for NBC Sports on YouTube too, there’s a few recycled gags (I like that Dubai Air was the sponsor for the team he coached in the 2nd one).

Put me in the ‘wish I had more to watch already’ camp. 3 at once each week would be nice too, one per week just feels old fashioned now ha.

Next weeks Mythic Quest tells the origin story of C.W. And he is played by Josh Brener, who was Big Head in Silicon Valley.

I read this post just before watching season 1, and it was fun to see Big Head was CW for a brief moment in the first episode when they introduced his character.

Correct, so I went back. The copy I have on Plex from last year has the shot in your post, the version that’s on Apple+ now has been retconned with a different still - of Big Head.

I had to laugh in the week when I got an A+ notification saying they were celebrating their 34 Emmy noms.

I like Schmigadoon, but I hope it’s a single series and wraps up though. And that Apple does more one off runs and miniseries in general.

Jane Krakowski hasn’t shown up yet, right? Or have I been blind?

I can feel that, I was chuckling all the way through the episode and got a few big laughs too. Half the time watching sitcoms I’m more appreciating jokes than laughing at them. Familiarly definitely makes things funnier for sure, and some shows entirely rely on that by their later years and don’t even bother writing the punchline anymore.

It's a miniseries, yeah. And no, I haven't seen Krakowski either.

Turns out that might not be so set in stone (but given the ambiguity of the tweet, I'm expecting the storyline to have an ending at least)

Schmigadoon felt like it didn’t realize it only had this episode to go back to status quo and went at a 1,000mph to get there. But I didn’t dislike it, and of course ended in the exact way everyone knew it would. Enjoyable stuff.

Finished episode 3 of season 2 of Ted Lasso last night and I think I'm done. Season 1 had a nice contrast of Ted being super nice while nearly everyone else was an rear end in a top hat. Now it's just a show where everyone is super nice to each other all the time and there's swelling emotional music in every other scene? Something is really missing in this season. What happened?

could be some trickery to make you think it’s Ted/Rebecca so they can throw a curveball. I like it either way, I just think Ted would be incapable of texting back and forth with someone without them immediately knowing it was him based on his personality (and the fact they know everyone in the team has been asked to use the app)

Loved the ep as always, the gimmick stuff worked well for me. Perfect end to my week, every week.

For some reason, I was expecting that on the 24th. (Which as I found out, is actually when FOUNDATION drops!)

I was expecting it a few weeks ago, it was appearing in listings for the beginning of the month. Probably got pushed back. I enjoyed the first season and it'll be interesting to see where it goes now.

Hannah Waddingham's slightly manic acceptance speech included a line that feels like it could've been from the show:

The videos I’ve seen on YouTube of them for EW etc have shown their relationship to be just like the shows, and I love it. Also anything with Brett is hilarious. I don’t usually watch those things, but the Ted ones are a lot of fun.

34 / 33 / 36 / 30 / 38 / 35 / 35 / 45 / 43

It’s only the last 2 episodes that have run particularly long. Personally, I love this whole streaming ideology of letting the episode run the length to tell the story. Cutting to 22/44 has always sucked for the viewer.

E: just to note that not a single episode in s1 ran under 30, and this Friday’s episode runs 46 which makes me happy. There’s a clip of it on the Kimmel interview with Hannah and it looks to be a great storyline progression from that.

Yeah usually fruit machines and the like, and back when I was a kid you'd probably get a bootleg street fighter cabinet where left didn't work, I just cannot recall seeing a proper pinball machine in a pub in the last 20 years or so.

Not that I think it's a bad thing, pinball is fun even if I'm very bad at it and I still need to drag friends to the pinball museum that's just down the road from me. Set a trend, Ted!

Eh, it just doesn't matter. You could tell me all the football related stuff in advance of however many seasons this runs for and it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to me. Which is good, because them getting promoted after the season they had is pretty ridiculous. But it's essentially incidental, which is for the best as getting relegated at the end of last season essentially didn't lead to any actual storylines about the fight back
