Oh my goodness!!! How much do I love the tv show "Friday Night Lights"?!?!?!?! Well, a hell of a lot more than any words can express, that's for dang sure!
growing up in a small town in texas makes it easier to relate to the football-centered plotlines, but this show has more depth, feeling, emotion and real-ness than anything you're going to find out there.
The promos when it came out last fall were lame, making it look like some cheesy high school sex farce with jocks and cheerleaders. yes, there's sex...but it's not a major plotline, for the most part. just like real high school, there's a lot more going on than just pretty people having sex.
SET YOU CALENDARS...DO WHATEVER COOL THING THERE IS TO DO WITH TIVO....JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE THERE FOR THE NEXT SEASON!!
Rent the first season to get caught up. I promise, it's one of the very, very few scripted shows on television that's worth watching. It's like a little movie each week. It all starts Friday, Oct. 5.
This clip is not the best quality, but it's pretty good to show how the show works. Each week (i think) there's a football game to prepare for and play. Just like in real-life, the clip starts off fun and exciting...as each play progresses, the tension, music and direction get more and more frenzied. I swear watching it takes me back to sitting in those bleachers, then standing and holding my breath, praying for the perfect throw, catch, run, whatever it took. SO wonderful.
