| Run Silent Run Deep  |
On Apple TV... Not bad...I wasn’t thrilled about Jason Sudeikis but he’s doing a pretty good job. _____________________________ Pledge allegiance or pack your bag!

I like it a lot. Easy watch with 30 min episodes. Binged watched one and half evenings. If only Apple TV does the same as Netflix and just release the full season... ------------------------------------------------------------------------"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" - Mike Tyson | |||

We enjoyed it quite a bit. I think there are a lot of jokes packed into each scene. Repeat viewings will uncover everything. My favorite scene was the practice speech. It was almost word for word the Iverson rant. Really well done. | |||

********** Old thread resurrection ********** I just started watching this. Was on the fence the first few episodes. Didn't know what to make of it. But there was enough to keep me going. None of the actors are familiar to me. But I do like the characters. Lasso's attitude and spirit is infectious. And it's a pleasure watching the characters become better people. And some funny lines along the way. Enjoying the show. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

| I swear I had something for this |
They've been filming Season 4 at various spots in my home town. Not sure how long they're here for, but I love that Jason Sudeikis is giving some love to his hometown. | |||

My cousin is a big fan of the show and had me watch some of the series. I haven't watched the majority of it, but I've seen enough to recommend it. The show spawned from a few joke commercials NBC made to promote their soccer coverage, and Jason Sudeikis is a SNL alum, so it'd be easy to predispose the show as another SNL skit that they tried to stretch out way too far. It is not, and the show did in fact win many awards. Going in, you expect a formulaic fish-out-of-water sitcom, but it's not. It does a great job of balancing comedy & drama. The title character, Ted, is a middle-aged white guy from the Midwest. Think about how easy of target that is for the wokerati, but I can't remember the writers ever taking cheap shots on him about his privilege. All the protagonists have depth and are given good character arcs. It's much more than a situation comedy, but it's not obvious after watching one episode either. You have to watch at least a few. Here's a popular scene from S1E8 that might convince you to give the show a chance. | |||

But...the series only ran for 3 seasons--designed that way from the onset.
