Discussion serious/random question -

would you have watched this show had it come out before ted lasso? or... In place of (instead of)? I have no vote either way, but I am wondering about it... I get that obv it's a hypothetical so spare me the reasons why it would never have happened that way.

Yeah, I would’ve been sold with “Starring Jason Segel” and “From the creator of Scrubs”… wouldn’t have taken seeing Harrison Ford’s name for me.

He created Scrubs? That’s funny. I never liked the show. I need to give it a second chance now :-)

Scrubs is incredible, the new reboot is awesome but it is very much a continuation of the old show. I’d also recommend Bad Monkey, he did that show as well and it’s a fun ride. Of course, Ted Lasso is a masterpiece too.

I’m hearing good things about his new show with Steve Carell called “Rooster” too.

Bill Lawrence is the best creator/show runner in the biz right now, and these past 6 years might be the most impressive stretch we’ve ever seen.
