The Best TV Show You Aren’t Watching
March 9th, 2007 by brian
Anyone who has read these blog entries knows that I am a big football fan. That being said, I have a plea to make to y’all: watch Friday Night Lights, the freshman NBC drama based on the book and film about high school football in a small Texas town. The critically-lauded, but ratings-challenged, show is a masterpiece that deserves to be granted a second season. Don’t be put off by the mostly teenaged characters… this certainly is not Dawson’s Creek or The O.C. The drama is not your run-of-the-mill teenage angst, and the adults play a vital role from week to week. In fact, Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, who play the coach and his wife, have given Emmy-worthy performances that are right up there with the best television has to offer.
Despite finding a solid (and rabid) fan base, FNL is not exactly lighting up the Nielsens and it needs our support if it is to avoid the axe when NBC makes its decision on next season’s schedule. One bright spot is that it has pretty much held on to its audience while going up against the buzz saw that is American Idol. Once you watch just one episode, I think you will be hooked… it’s that good.
FNL is currently on a hiatus from its usual Wednesday 8:00 p.m. timeslot, but there is great news for those of you who want to jump on the bandwagon… all episodes are now available to view online for free! If you do not have the time (or bandwidth) to watch them all, you can also read episode recaps to get caught up with the happenings in Dillon, Texas. Check it out at: http://www.nbc.com/Video/rewind/full_episodes/friday_night_lights.shtml
After you fall in love with the show, visit this site and express your feeling to the powers-that-be at NBC, and let them know that you want more of this perfect show.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Good luck Friday Night Lights.
