Last season, I tuned in occasionally to Friday Night Lights. My parents swore it was the best show on TV. Kristen at E!, raved about it. Even TVGAL, said it was one of the best shows on tv. The thing is, I would wander past it on Tuesday nights around 7:15 and I could never get into it. I was thrilled it was picked up at the end of last year and I did enjoy the finale. This summer, I swore I would give it another chance - guess what happened. I am HOOKED!
FNL is the one show I can not miss. It has quickly become my number 2 (behind the Office). Other shows I love seem to be in a slump, FNL is outstanding. What is so great about this show? Well, let's start with a realistic portrayal of high school kids. The struggle as a parent - the obsession of a small town with the sports. Friends of mine say that is blown out of proportion. I say to them, go to a SHG football game some weekend. It is not blown out of proportion. Folks love their high school sports. And, this writer believes there is nothing wrong with that! Plus, Kyle Chandler for an hour - need I say more?
I don't think FNL is doing great in the ratings, which is a shame. Some of the greatest tv shows and fallen into the ratings slump (My So Called Life, Once and Again, Thirtysomething, to name a few). I hope people find FNL and give it a chance, it is worth your while!

I wish they hadn't moved it to Friday nights. I think the core crowd is.... out at the football games!
