It does get me quite excited for the Leafs Amazon Prime series. I want to know who is the grumpy cat. I also want to know if Nylander skates around like a golden retriever chanting "hockey is life!"

I'm still kind of torn on wanting to just be that one season of fluffy goodness.  So many other shows would have had the main character crack when the life around him falters (Side note I really enjoyed Kidding with Jim Carrey/Judy Greer/Frank Langella).

Dr. Oz standing where Alex Trebek once stood, even if just temporarily, is pretty gross.

I agree about the one season part. Selfishly I want more episodes, but deep down I worry that the "fluffy goodness" as you call it, may not be as charming the second time around.

Yeah a lot of the joy I think was watching everyone eventually come around to Ted. You're not really going to be able to replicate that in future seasons. Still I guess the creators of the show have earned the benefit of the doubt. There could be stories that can be told that don't revolve around that as much. Season 1 was wayyyy better than I would have ever imagined.

Well rumour has it that it's already been picked up for season 3 as well, so they must/hopefully have something up their sleeves.

That's part of what I'm looking forward to - where are they going to take things next season? Will Ted need to win over new people? Will the team be in more chaos? It's going to be interesting.
 
Speaking of Ted Lasso, both the show and Sudeikis got Golden Globe nominations today which was well deserved.

That they spun off (and modernized) a heartwarming series off of an ad campaign is amazing.

I knew that it was based off that ad campaign but I had never actually watched it before now. Neat to see how they kept/adapted some of the jokes there, and how they changed some of his personality a bit. Also cool that they kept the same actor for Coach Beard.

I could be wrong but I think he goes way back with Sudeikis and is a co-creator of the character/premise/show.
 
Nik is correct; Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) is one of Sudeikis' co-writers of the original skit and the show; I didn't know he was a long time Sudeikis work-buddy. Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) is also one of the show writers.

In less happy news, the dramatic characterization of Ted Lasso took an autobiographical turn just as they were putting the show together.

Anyway, all this reminded me of a fantastic music video.

I don't know how I haven't watched Silicon Valley before but holy shit is it ever good.

It lulls for a season in the middle. I almost gave up on it but I'm glad I eventually went back. It's a pretty funny show.

FTFM
 
I can see why it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea but WandaVision is kind of growing on me as a way Disney+ can use the MCU to maybe not do the big blockbustery things the Mandalorian is but as a venue for telling smaller stories about the characters that aren't likely to get their own movies.

And obviously (mild spoiler) the big thing at the end of episode 5 is interesting on a larger scale.

I haven't seen the latest one yet, but I really like it so far. Being able to tap into MCU properties (and MCU budgets) more directly puts it on a whole other level than Netflix/Agents of Shield. Olsen, who has been truly underutilized so far in the ensemble films, finally gets to flex her range.
