Friday Night Light---TV Show

Probably the best show I’ve ever watched in my 38 years on the planet and this includes my previous all time favorite The Sopranos.   The writing, acting and script was just amazing, and sadly the show was never appreciated nearly at the level it should have been by NBC.  For whatever reason, because it had the name Friday in the title, that meant it could only be shown on one of the lowest TV viewing nights of the week.   The story detailed the events of Coach Eric and Tami Taylor (Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton), his family, his team and all their lives in fictional Dillon, Texas .    It was by far the most realistic view of Middle America, and the characters were so well-developed that it is truly a TV crime that this show is ending.   The final season airs on NBC starting on April 15th, and if you are like me, you’ll want to buy all the seasons on DVD as they are available.   It’s one of those rare shows that although the movie was outstanding, the TV show was that much better.  One tip if you love Friday Night Lights, make sure you tune in for Parenthood as it’s by the same people and many cast members from FNL are appearing in new roles on Parenthood.
