I know the question often asked here is, “why other show makes me feel like Ted Lasso did,” and I searched so long for that answer. It wasn’t until I began re-watching The Newsroom for the 40th time I realized, this is as close to Ted Lasso.
Not even The West Wing comes as close as The Newsroom. Just sharing with you all.
The Newsroom is a great show. Canceled too soon.
Did HBO cancel it or did Aaron Sorkin stop wanting to make new episodes? I thought it was Sorkin who wanted to end the show after the third season.
Regardless, I agree, I wish there were more than just the 3 seasons/25 episodes.
It got a bit preachy at times, but that’s not not a Sorkin thing.
Shrinking is also from TL creator Bill Lawrence and I highly recommend. Similar comedy writing and heartfelt stories. Season 2 comes early 2024.
Sports Night also has a similar Ted Lasso vibe. Love it.
Have you watched The Good Place?
Super interesting take here. I’ve watched both The Good Place and Ted Lasso and TGP, while a decent show, isn’t even in the same league as Ted Lasso to me as far as how it made me feel.
Such a great show. This and Ted Lasso are my two favorite shows.
I watched the wire for the second time. I forgot how good that show was
