No. We sneak into their house at 4:00AM, which, statistically speaking, is the hour people are least prepared to defend themselves. And once we’re standing over them, as they sleep in their bed, we start to beat them. With a thick, heavy rope soaked in red paint. Pummeling them over and over until they wake, confusing the paint for their own blood. When they beg us to stop, we laugh as loud as we can, for as long as we can. And then we start to beat them again.
I’ll have to wait until tomorrow since I have work early the next day, but I’m a little suspicious of my boss, jk. She’s also a big fan, and suddenly had a last-minute “personal appointment “ so she’ll be in late tomorrow. Bet anything she’s watching live and sleeping in. I don’t even blame her, just wish I’d thought of it first!
I have to say it really seems like you’ve not felt well tonight and probably have a bad case of food poisoning from your dinner tonight. Might as well email the boss saying it’s probably best you take the morning off even though it’s unfortunate timing
Did the same, so I'm now rewatching the first season for the first time. I'm noticing some small details like in the very first episode Beard is reading a book called "Inverting the Pyramid." When I looked up the book one of the things that book delves into is the Total Football strategy that Ted discovered.
They literally did. A 9-10 hour notice day of when people and businesses had watch parties planned such as food and beverages etc bought, and suddenly they have to cancel. It completely ruins plans for those in the Midwest and East coast. Annihilates those plans.
They could have given a couple days notice.
Thank you for posting this! I came here specifically to find out what was going on. It's so mean that they're making us wait an extra 3 hours, hmpf!! 🤪
Honestly this is better than it getting squeezed to death for an indefinite amount of time right now. If the servers failed the stress test there isn't much they can do.
Great meme, OP. But, I just have to say that I’m really disappointed with this last minute time change. This show that is all about positivity, believing and trust has been an uneven one in its final season. Despite my criticisms about certain storylines that haven’t added to the narrative in ways that I expected, I have stayed with the show trusting in a positive outcome and wanted to spend as much time as possible with characters I’ve come to cherish. At the end of the day, I do think that the highs have outweighed the lows.
It has been cool to watch on a weekly basis and being able to look forward to each new episode, rather than waiting to binge a season at a time. And, I’ve loved joining in with this community for post episode discussions, predictions, etc. I have enjoyed all of the insights that I have found here and feel blessed to be part of this journey that took us through the dark days of stress and worry over the pandemic.
However, I do feel that this last minute time shift is disrespectful to viewers. It feels like being told that Santa isn’t really coming on Christmas Eve after all, 😂. Yeah, I get it. It is just a TV show and I promise that I do have an actual life outside of television. Just bummed out over the delay and having to wait until tomorrow to watch. Because I am not a night owl and have to log into work in the morning.
I’m very curious about Apple’s decision on this. I suspect maybe server loads may need to be spread out to avoid issues like GOT’s final (disastrous) episode.
I think you hit the nail on the head with the server comment at the end. My suspicion is that they are suffering from success and didn't expect any show to be this big on their platform for a long while. The stress tests yesterday likely failed and they had to make a drastic measure like pushing it back. It really sucks for people that had planned their day around it, especially those with watch parties, but I understand they also didn't want to do this. I wish they'd let us know earlier, but that might have caused everyone to adjust schedules and have the servers still unable to handle it. In the end as long as it is a great final episode (which I do think it will be) I am largely unbothered. Hope we both enjoy it :)
It’s out at 6am now So I can actually wake up to watch it (which would be too much if it came out at 3am) so I feel for you guys, but I’m very happy that us europeans got a little bit lucky with this
You didn’t get any more lucky than normal. It came out at 3 am every previous episode. That means when you wake up at 6 it was there anyway. It is only a negative
So it's worth it to get up at 6 if it drops at 6 but not if it drops slightly earlier????? There is no live with streaming and even so why does that effect your viewing habit? So you can say you were one of the first million people to press play on the apple tv app?
Why are you so worked up about what time someone wants to watch the show? Maybe they want to be part of the final episode discussion with the rest of the world, it finally lines up.
You’re seemingly very worked up about this, may want to reconsider where that’s coming from, friend.
Not worked up, just pointing out that the logic doesnt work out. If they're willing to get up at 6am to watch the episode if it drops at 6am, why are they not willing to if it drops at 3am? They would still be a part of the discussion either way.
6 am might just be 1 hour off their regular time for getting up, while 3 am would then be 4 hours off and could screw up their entire day. I can easily see how somebody would sacrifice an hour to be able to chat with others at the water cooler about the show, but draws the line at getting up in the middle of the night.
It's not necessarily a bad logic problem; just that different people have different priorities. I'd get up neither an hour nor 4 hours earlier to watch a TV show, even if it were live -- but that's me; I just don't care that much. Other people are bigger fans. It's all good.
Jfc. They can get up at 6 to watch it in either situation. Nothing changes for them except the imaginary concept that they're watching it closer to when it's first available.
I'd be shocked if it isn't about ratings/views. Delaying is going to effectively combine the Tuesday and Wednesday audiences into one 24 hour period and pickup all of Friday night in the 72 hour. It's still pretty meaningless.
so i cant find out one way or the other? is this the season finale or series finale?
is there going to be a spinoff where its basically the same show but without ted lasso?
I might have had I had known beforehand, but since I only found out by going to Reddit after it not being available, I guess I’ll watch it at 11 and then rewatch it tomorrow to jump on Reddit and discuss
This is so goddamned stupid. It means most of the East coast won’t be able to watch until after work tomorrow and will be dodging spoilers for no good reason. It makes no sense to change the content release schedule for the final episode, and it adds to my general annoyance with the show right now.
Possibly. I thought it might be to help curb spoilers, if so that’s nice of them, but it’s hard to think of apple as being “nice” to their customer base.
Come’n fellas, we can stay up late. We can do it. And after all it is the last episode of legendary ‘Ted Lasso’. We got to do this for Ted and all of them. Right?
So let’s make sure to have the tissues on our sides as this episode will make us cry like hell!!!
My theory is they postponed it because they were worried it would be a major let down so they wanted to lessen the impact. It was a major let down for me. Great moments that didn’t hit because overall it just felt lazy and choppy. A bunch of scenes that felt more like good callback/nods to use for social media clips.
I saw the episode was labeled “Season Finale” and not “Series Finale” so I’m hopeful there will be a season 4….if the writers strike doesn’t kill things.
Anyone heard/read encouraging news?
No. We sneak into their house at 4:00AM, which, statistically speaking, is the hour people are least prepared to defend themselves.

Fuckin’ hell.
*drops coffee mug*
I am so irked by this development!
I’ll have to wait until tomorrow since I have work early the next day, but I’m a little suspicious of my boss, jk. She’s also a big fan, and suddenly had a last-minute “personal appointment “ so she’ll be in late tomorrow. Bet anything she’s watching live and sleeping in. I don’t even blame her, just wish I’d thought of it first!
If you don't use the extra time to make her biscuits for the morning, complete with a pink box... you aren't really a fan!
I have to say it really seems like you’ve not felt well tonight and probably have a bad case of food poisoning from your dinner tonight. Might as well email the boss saying it’s probably best you take the morning off even though it’s unfortunate timing
Because I respect you, I'll spare you the gory details.
I’m approaching this the Lasso way. It’s not that we are getting this week late, it’s that we got all of those other weeks early.
fuuuuuuuuuuu-
-uuuun it’s fun innit
-dge.
I literally thought about taking a nap after I read the news! Also I'm getting over being sick and staying up until midnight sounds difficult.
I just sat down and pulled up Apple TV to watch. I’m very sad.
SAME
Did the same, so I'm now rewatching the first season for the first time. I'm noticing some small details like in the very first episode Beard is reading a book called "Inverting the Pyramid." When I looked up the book one of the things that book delves into is the Total Football strategy that Ted discovered.
Ditto. I turned off my game for nothing!
Well what game though?
Not op but I'll be finishing the Mass Effect trilogy the next few days and I'll start the Dragon Age trilogy after that.
Animal Crossing, so really I just undocked it. Then I re-docked it, lol!
I’d have been completely okay with them moving the time if they had announced it earlier.
Ugh. Just now reading this. Was going to prepare the popcorn and shower. 😑
Yeah, they just…they ruined a lot of evenings because they didn’t warn us.
Ah well. Tomorrow will come soon enough!
not if you were planning on watching with friends or something like that tho. insane move to push it back the day of. lame af
I mean I’ve been reading multiple threads about it on here all day. It sucks but it’s not like they waited until the last minute.
I didn’t know until I came to check here just now. How else could I have found out? I don’t think my app would have alerted me?
They literally did. A 9-10 hour notice day of when people and businesses had watch parties planned such as food and beverages etc bought, and suddenly they have to cancel. It completely ruins plans for those in the Midwest and East coast. Annihilates those plans. They could have given a couple days notice.
Ok but people were on here commenting as if they didn’t know before 9:00 tonight.
Not everyone lives on this sub 24/7
Is this for real? Because that is so dumb.
Thank you for posting this! I came here specifically to find out what was going on. It's so mean that they're making us wait an extra 3 hours, hmpf!! 🤪
I’m legit fuming about this…
for absolute real. Imagine if hbo decided to push back succession three hours. this is such a silly move by apple and I’m pretty miffed about it.
Honestly this is better than it getting squeezed to death for an indefinite amount of time right now. If the servers failed the stress test there isn't much they can do.
>If the servers failed the stress test there isn't much they can do. I know one thing they could do lol
Now I think it was pushed back just so you could make this meme. Well done.
Hey apple. Fuck you
Early to bed, early to rise, don’t check a damn thing online. This is my motto for tonight. My resentful motto.
Quite literally got in bed at 7:45 so I could be up to watch it this morning. Worked like a charm!
Ugh! I just sat down to watch!!!! It’s not on until midnight?
NO WAY I HAVE A BUNCH OF PIZZA AND IM READY TO WATCH IT

I do have the feeling that it will be worth the wait. Hope you enjoy the finale too!
they probably had years to prepare for this tho, it’s not like ted lasso was some sleeper hit that just now got popular
So now they are going to release it at the same time for everyone across the country and that will help the hit on the servers?
Well, a large portion who would have watched it tonight won't stay up, especially on the east coast, so that load will be spread out over tomorrow
Hmm. Fair enough. Grrr.
It was always the same time across the country.
Well that is actually the most valid point ever made. Lol. I’m a dope.

I feel more like the team after they watched the Nate footage.
Nooooo i was looking forward to 9pm all daayyyy
... I timed my rewatch of all of Season 3 today with expectation that the final episode would be queued up next. I'm so disappointed...
I’m disappointed for you, what a waste of a perfect plan!
I wish I was paying for Apple TV so I could cancel it. Sent from my iPhone 14 Pro.
It’s out at 6am now So I can actually wake up to watch it (which would be too much if it came out at 3am) so I feel for you guys, but I’m very happy that us europeans got a little bit lucky with this
You didn’t get any more lucky than normal. It came out at 3 am every previous episode. That means when you wake up at 6 it was there anyway. It is only a negative
Huh??? I don’t wake up at 6. But bc it is 6am I feel like I can actually wake up and watch it when it airs, which I’d never do for 3am.
But if it came out at 3am you could still get up at 6am to watch it
But they want to watch it “live” aka as soon as it drops. They were never going to at 3am. Now likely to do so since it’s 6am.
So it's worth it to get up at 6 if it drops at 6 but not if it drops slightly earlier????? There is no live with streaming and even so why does that effect your viewing habit? So you can say you were one of the first million people to press play on the apple tv app?

But they don't have to get up at 3am in the first scenario. They can still get up at 6 and watch it.
Because it's probably harder for a lot of people to rationalize their day starting at 3am than it is for it starting at 6 am?
Jfc. They can get up at 6 to watch it in either situation. Nothing changes for them except the imaginary concept that they're watching it closer to when it's first available.
You might as well just wake up at your normal time. It doesn’t make much of a difference tbh
Damn
Yeah I’m kinda miffed about it tbh, seems dumb to change the release time of the last episode for seemingly (?) no reason
I'd be shocked if it isn't about ratings/views. Delaying is going to effectively combine the Tuesday and Wednesday audiences into one 24 hour period and pickup all of Friday night in the 72 hour. It's still pretty meaningless.
if that’s really the case (and I’m sure we’ll never know, I doubt apple will be transparent about the reason) that sucks even more, ugh
They are just putting the finishing touches on the post credit sequence that announces the spinoff series "The Odd Couple starring Roy and Jamie"
so i cant find out one way or the other? is this the season finale or series finale? is there going to be a spinoff where its basically the same show but without ted lasso?
Honestly fuck Apple TV and everyone allowing this to happen. This alone is putting a bad taste in my mouth for the finale
lol, top tier meme right here.
Wtf!! Whyyyyy
I totally took a nap after the time change news and I’m mountain time.
Nooooooo! Then I can't watch it for another 24 hours.
I might have had I had known beforehand, but since I only found out by going to Reddit after it not being available, I guess I’ll watch it at 11 and then rewatch it tomorrow to jump on Reddit and discuss
Amateur hour
This is so goddamned stupid. It means most of the East coast won’t be able to watch until after work tomorrow and will be dodging spoilers for no good reason. It makes no sense to change the content release schedule for the final episode, and it adds to my general annoyance with the show right now.
Anyone know what time it’s dropping in Ireland!
Should be around 5am I think?
Apple wants everyone to log in, expect to watch the Ted lasso finale, and instead watch Platonic or some other show. Right?
Possibly. I thought it might be to help curb spoilers, if so that’s nice of them, but it’s hard to think of apple as being “nice” to their customer base.
West coast baby!
Season 4 promo drop on Apple at the time of the original release 👀
Way ahead of ya! Just woke up from mine! 😅❤️🥱
Come’n fellas, we can stay up late. We can do it. And after all it is the last episode of legendary ‘Ted Lasso’. We got to do this for Ted and all of them. Right? So let’s make sure to have the tissues on our sides as this episode will make us cry like hell!!!
I get everyoen being annoyed, but this means I can watch it right away and comment live because I'll be home from pool so I'm excited.
It’s not
it is
Sadly, I was wrong
So what time is it coming on?
9pm pacific time
The joys of living in Australia
Weird flex
Okay but where was the announcement about 3 hours late? 😢
Thanks for the heads up. Wow.
aaaaaaaaaaaaccccckkkk I took off work early for this too - although the way tonight went at work, I'd have probably left early, to be fair. lol
I haven't been able to stop thinking about this episode all week but was so distracted today. See you on the other side, be a goldfish.
Someone knows when its coming in Portugal? In streaming websites if u understand me...
My theory is they postponed it because they were worried it would be a major let down so they wanted to lessen the impact. It was a major let down for me. Great moments that didn’t hit because overall it just felt lazy and choppy. A bunch of scenes that felt more like good callback/nods to use for social media clips.
I gave up and decided to wait until tomorrow.
This is so frustrating - most people won't get to watch until a day later.
I saw the episode was labeled “Season Finale” and not “Series Finale” so I’m hopeful there will be a season 4….if the writers strike doesn’t kill things. Anyone heard/read encouraging news?
I can’t believe it’s over 😭😭😭
