Friday Night Lights is the best show on television. I know what some of you are thinking. You'll probably say "I haven't seen it" or "if it's is so good, why haven't I even heard about it"? I understand your skepticism at such a bold proclamation but 4 million people weekly seem to agree with the critics ,that Friday Night Lights is television at its finest. Based in a small Texas town of Dillon, the show explores how the game of high school football can weave itself in the everyday fabric of a community. High school football politics aside, Friday Night Lights covers in honest intimate detail the realities of race, class, disability, educational policy, teenage angst, and marriage.
If you haven't seen the show (it airs Friday nights at 9pm on NBC) there are several options The Premier Joven blog recommends:
- Option 1: Buy, Hulu, or Netflix Seasons 1 or 2 to catch up.
- Option 2: Watch the last 2 episodes of Season 3 on NBC starting Friday.
- Option 3(The last option is always the best): Do options 1 and 2 AND......tune in this fall because Friday Night Lights has been renewed for 2 more seasons!
Despite it's poor ratings, the show has a small and devoted following (one reason NBC decided to keep the show is because it rates highly amongst young affluent professionals) NBC and DirecTV finalized a deal this week to bring the show back for at least 26 episodes. Now if Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton can get award recogniton for their remarkable acting abilities then justice for good television will fully and finally be served. "Texas Forever".
