Just let the shows stay dead!

Ted Lasso was awesome and ended well but to drag it out of retirement for one last encore is never good. There are only two options - Hollywood 'they win the championship' which feels forced or they don't win but learn lessons and we're in the same place as last season.

You can't recreate scrubs. They tried and failed and the same will happen here - bring back the old cast but they are much older now and it doesn't work OR they recast it and everyone says "where are the old characters!?".

To my eyes, scrubs is a coming off age early 20s, first big job, learning life and who-you-are kinda show so it has to be recast but getting that magic a second time will be nearly impossible.
