The best show you're not watching: Friday Night Lights

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


People I've been talking to lately will know that I'm mildly obsessed with my new favorite show Friday Night Lights. I never saw the movie (I heard it's good) but I've seen every episode of this show and I LOVE it. Now it's mostly women who read this blog and most of us aren't big football fans, myself included. However, you don't have to love football to watch this show, take it from me who never watches football and knows nothing about it. That's because this show really isn't about football, it's about the characters. There's fantastic writing, even better acting and realistic characters who are both hilarious (there are times when I laugh out loud while watching FNL) and heart wrenching at the same time It's kind of like The Office in that respect. The interactions between the characters are just so realistic, awkward, and fantastic.

Of course, you can always watch the show for its man candy, specifically Taylor Kitsch (who was also in The Covenant, another movie full of beautiful men).

I'm not the only one who loves this show, lots of TV critics love the show and it has been put on several best of tv lists. However, the ratings are not doing well so watch it!!

Sometimes I don't understand why great shows like FNL, Battlestar Galactica (yes, I swear it is a FANTASTIC show even if you hate scifi, just ask my sister who now loves it) and Veronica Mars have such a hard time getting an audience when shows like Two and A Half Men and According to Jim are so popular. What's up with that?

You can watch all of this season's episodes online for free at NBC's website by clicking here. My personal favorite episode is called Full Hearts but really, they're all good.
