FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
How excited I was Monday when I learned that one of my favorite shows, Friday Night Lights, was not only picked up for a fourth season, but a fifth season as well. Go Panthers!!
I find it my obligation to let people know when a TV show is worthy of an hour’s time each week. (LOST, BREAKING BAD, etc). Friday Night Lights is def one of those shows.
Based on a best selling novel of the same name, FNL tells the story of the Dillon High School Panthers football team and their newly hired coach, Eric Taylor.
Friday Night Lights displays the stress that the town gives the high school players to win, and the hope that the team gives to a small town, and how a team has its low points, its high points, and how they come together as a team on their way to victory.
Season’s 1 & 2 are currently available on DVD, while season three is heading toward it’s season finale, Fridays (duh) on NBC.
And for those who need that extra nudge, the show is full of EYE CANDY. For the boys (as if a TV show about football isn’t enough) Minka Kelly (currently dating Derek Jeter) plays the girl next door beauty Lyla Garrity, while for the ladies, Taylor Kitsch (Gambit in the upcoming Wolverine movie and the rumored second choice to play Edward Cullen) plays the town’s resident bad boy Tim Riggins.
Extra Extra incentive? The star of the show, Kyle Chandler, who plays Coach Taylor, was last seen on network TV playing a member of the bomb squad on Greys Anatomy way back in the day…….yes, he’s the one that got blown to pieces…..now reassembled on Friday Night Lights, coaching the Dillon Panthers, and having sex with his smoking hot MILF wife, Julie Tammy.
“Clear Eyes. Full Hearts!”
