About this deal

But while the momentary appearance of Fitzgerald’s overrated sophomore novel may reek of high-brow literature, the show doesn’t succumb to literary arrogance. A major plotline within the third episode is the personal development of aging star Roy Kent, to whom Ted gives a copy of the YA novel A Wrinkle in Time. You see, Jamie and Dani are like Picasso and Gauguin…they’re artists. And, Colin, you paint too, but your work doesn’t end up in museums. It hangs at…Well, you’re like a painting at a Holiday Inn. You don’t inspire. You don’t move people. You’re there. You cover a bloodstain. You do the job, so just do the job.”

Linear rights to Ted Lasso — which Warners retained as part of its initial deal with Apple for Ted Lasso[...] the series that [Warners] co-own with passive partner Universal TV. Keeley’s PR agency is going from strength to strength, and the addition of Katy Wix as her CFO Barbara promises, as Wix always does, many good things as accommodations between their different approaches to life – where Keeley thrives – and running a business – where Barbara, it is safe to say, has the edge – must be made. Additionally, it’s pretty important to Jason Sudeikis as well since he taught improv classes using the same book. Dream Team, British TV series featuring the on and off the field affairs of fictional Premier League club Harchester United.One of the most memorable scenes from this episode is when Ted ends up drinking and watching It’s a Wonderful Life alone. The movie is based on the short story “ The Greatest Gift“, which Philip Van Doren Stern self-published as a pamphlet in 1943, mailing it out with his Christmas cards. We see Ted watch as the main character contemplates suicide, likely thinking of his father’s own death. Just as George Bailey meets his guardian angel on screen, we see Ted open the window to see Rebecca rescuing him from this sad scene. Rebecca and Ted often serve as each other’s guardian angels, swooping in when the other needs saving. Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield appear as themselves (season 2), presenters of ITV's This Morning who interview Jamie about his appearance on Lust Conquers All. When Coach Lasso gives every team member a book, this is the one he assigns to Roy. It may not be the expected choice, but Ted’s not a normal coach, now is he? Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton, the new owner of AFC Richmond. She initially hires Lasso as a ploy to sabotage the team, but eventually comes to appreciate him and becomes a mentor and friend to Keeley Jones. The well-read Ted Lasso viewer realizes that these are not superficial glances at literature. That somewhere, somebody has investigated what these books mean and what truths they hold. In a recent Lit Hub essay, Rebecca Solnit mentioned the scene in which the quiet and intimidating Coach Beard tells another coach who has become selfish about his contributions to the team, “You know, we used to believe that trees competed with each other for light. Suzanne Simard’s field work challenged that perception, and we now realize that the forest is a socialist community. Trees work in harmony to share the sunlight.” It’s a brilliant moment, exemplifying how the show understands literature: by taking those truths contained within books and applying them into the views and ideas of the characters.

The series has received critical acclaim, with particular praise for its performances (notably Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Juno Temple), humor, writing, themes, and uplifting tone. Among other accolades, its first season was nominated for 20 Primetime Emmy Awards, becoming the most nominated first-season comedy in Emmy Award history. Sudeikis, Waddingham, and Goldstein won for their performances, and the series won the 2021 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. Sudeikis also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series.

Call it trust, camaraderie or team-building, the Lasso or Richmond Way boils down to leading with love. Of course, making The Richmond Way a real book could be a bad idea. Essentially it would take all the subtext in the series and make it, literally, text. It would be hard to write a real copy of The Richmond Way that doesn't turn into empty, self-help nonsense.Ted tells Trent, “As the man says, you have to follow your bliss.” This phrase was first attributed to Joseph Campbell in The Power of Myth. As the team gathers to lay to rest the curse on their treatment room, Ted says, “What I can tell you, is that with the exception of the wit and wisdom of Calvin and Hobbes, not much lasts forever.” And that’s true.

When they arrive, Jeremy asks, “Is this heaven?” The groundskeeper answers, “No, it’s Nelson road.” This mirrors the exchange “Is this heaven?”“No, it’s Iowa” in Field of Dreams, inspired by Shoeless Joe.
