Brett Goldstein confirms Ted Lasso was heavily inspired by The Wizard of Oz

Everyone wants a piece of that Wicked buzz, lol.

[quote]"Oh yeah, there's loads and loads of The Wizard of Oz in Ted Lasso," Goldstein says when asked pointblank if the show is a retelling. "The pinball machine is the one that's always 'Ted has to go home. There's no place like home.' And then, there's no place like Richmond F.C. Yes, that's all Wizard of Oz."

[quote]Goldstein took things a step further, clarifying who each character on Ted Lasso was meant to represent in the story. "I'm the Tin Man," he says of his own character, Roy Kent. "Ted is Dorothy, Rebecca's the Lion, and the Scarecrow is Jamie."

He was obviously joking.

I know he was joking, I posted it because I thought it was funny.

The first season was fun, the second season was okay, and the third season had a few good moments, but pretty much sucked.

I enjoyed Ted Lasso at first but became increasingly annoyed by how much they got wrong about Britain and British culture.
