The only thing better than a new episode of Ted Lasso is when said episode channels one of my all-time favorite cartoons, the Disney classic Donald in Mathmagic Land. (If you grew up in the 20th century you saw it in your math class; here was my take.)

Worlds colliding, so beautifully. And this was only a minute and a half of a stellar one-long episode. Unusual, yes, but everything we expect from Ted Lasso. It’s not really just Ted’s story anymore; there were half a dozen side plots last night worth your time.

But damn that cartoon sequence topped them all.
