Episode 25 "Going to America" (May 1 1998) : After saving a fellow priest from suicide, Father Ted is invited to work at an American parish.

Father Ted is a sitcom created by Irish writers Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews. It aired over three series from 21 April 1995 until 1 May 1998, including a Christmas special, for a total of 25 episodes.

Set on the fictional Craggy Island, a remote location off Ireland's west coast, Father Ted stars Dermot Morgan as Father Ted Crilly, alongside fellow priests Father Dougal McGuire (Ardal O'Hanlon) and Father Jack Hackett (Frank Kelly). Dishonourably exiled on the island by Bishop Leonard Brennan (Jim Norton) for various reasons, the priests live together in the parochial house with their housekeeper Mrs Doyle (Pauline McLynn). The show subverts parodies of low-brow humour as it portrays nuanced themes of loneliness, agnosticism, existentialism and purgatory experienced by its title character; this deeper meaning of the show has been much acclaimed.

The series was written by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews. Episodes were directed by Declan Lowney, Graham Linehan and Andy De Emmony. The series stars Dermot Morgan, Ardal O'Hanlon, Frank Kelly, and Pauline McLynn, with guest appearances from Jim Norton, Graham Norton, and Patrick Drury. The opening theme "Songs of Love" was composed by the band, 'The Divine Comedy'.
