Just a reminder for those of you searching for a quality television program. Friday Night Lights has it’s Season 4 premier tonight at 7 p.m. (CST) on NBC. I had a chance to catch Season 4 during the Fall/Winter when it had its run on DirectTV’s “The 101″. The show continues to get stronger with each season.
If you think that Friday Night Lights is just a show about football, you are mistaken. No other movie or TV show has captured Texas life like FNL. It transcends the borders, and paints a portrait of small town America rarely seen. Most television shows focus on life in urban and/or suburban environments, where people live in monolithic communities, never interacting with people outside their own demographics. FNL presents a diverse community, where folks are forced to confront their differences and work together for the community. High school football just happens to be one mechanism they use to unite the community together.
It puzzles me how this program continues to struggle in the ratings.
