Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe celebration dance that Jason Sudeikis does, as Ted Lasso, with his team is the same dance he does in the SNL segment "What's Up With That".
- GoofsIt is believed that Ted would not be allowed to coach a Premier League team without a proper UEFA license, which someone would not be eligible for without prior experience. However, the UEFA does allow for temporary "caretaker managers" on short notice when a manager is abruptly dismissed, quits, or is unable to continue. Richmond's existing coach gets sacked by Rebecca after training for the season had already started.
- Quotes
Ted Lasso: Hey, how y'all doin'? I'm Ted Lasso, your new coach. You must be Ms. Welton.
Rebecca Welton: Please, call me Rebecca. Ms. Welton's my father.
Ted Lasso: If that's a joke, I love it. If not, I cannot wait to unpack that with ya.

Featured review
Class meets ass
It was a watchable start and lusty Leo Hannah Waddingham is most watchable but it wasn't a laugh out loud pilot episode.
Maybe if is aimed at American audiences because there was little in the way of British humour here.
The joke about Americans trying to get in an old British mini car (esther than the modern BMW version) was done by Tom Selleck, Ted Dansen and Steve Guttenberg a long time ago.
The show seems to be based on the premise of two countries split by a mutual language which, again, has been done so many times.
Hopefully, the standard will stay high if not improve and perhaps even include some jokes for the UK viewers too.
On the plus side, at least it was filmed in the UK unlike many UK TV dramas these days.
I will Continue to watch and just hope it's not a one trick pony.
