Well, I guess tentatively renewed? This is old-ish news, but, at the same time, I haven't seen anything more recent. Apparently NBC struck a deal with DirecTV to get this done. Frankly, I do not care if they had to strike a deal with George W. Bush himself, that is how much I wanted this show to come back.

Suffice it to say I am happy. This is by far one of the best shows on television -- maybe the best one still airing. Is it better than Heroes? BSG? Probably. It is definitely better than The Wire*. It might not be better than Lost.

I just received the Season One DVDs from Amazon today, and I can't wait to watch them.

Friday Night Lights - The First Season

If you haven't checked out this show yet, I suggest that you get to steppin'. There's no time like the present, people. You will not be sorry. For one thing, there is the undeniable awesomeness of Coach Taylor. Please to witness:

And then, well, then there is this. Do not even try to argue with me about this:

Tim Riggins My TV Boyfriend

Q.E.D., people. Q.E. Motherfucking D.

*This is an objective fact, provable by SCIENCE. And yes, I am dutifully watching S1 of The Wire currently. I mean, until I get bored and have to switch to Dexter, or decide I'd rather re-watch other favorite shows I have already seen. When does The Wire get interesting?

You are breaking my heart about "The Wire." And better than "BSG"? Careful . . .

I felt that things started to roll in The Wire with episodes 5 and 6. If by that point you aren't at least a little intrigued with where things are going, then I guess it cannot be helped.

Yeah, I have so far only seen 1-3. The next disc is on its way, so we shall see!

you don't even like real football, but you watch pretend melodramatic football on teevee? i am shocked, SHOCKED to hear that you like this show.

It's a wonderful show - if you watched the pilot, you would not be able to deny this fact. FACT!

isn't the pilot the one where the one dude gets paralyzed? that alone is reason enough for despising that show!

Au contraire, my friend! That is what makes the show so awesome. The first time I tried to watch the pilot I only saw 1/2, so I missed that part, and didn't care much for the show. When I saw it again, that event totally sold me on it. Before that happens, the set up is so predictable, but after that happens you realize that they are never going to do the expected storylines, and they don't. It is honestly impossible to overstate the awesomeness of this show.

Also! I thought you were over not liking things that didn't have happy endings!

dude, not about the lack of happy ending! more about the fact that on the first show out of the box, they do the most hackneyed football drama cliche EVER! plus, hello, FOOTBALL DRAMA?!? i think maybe you've had a stroke or something, do you watch this show while playing games and eating ranch flavored pudding with your hands & face that you wash down with 50 different black licorice flavored german liquers?!?

(the boy on the end is cute, but from the commercials i think he has Major Problems.)

and i am TOTALLY hating miserable endings, i loved "no country for old men!" i won't spoil any further, but you know what i mean.

gah, comment spam! should have been "totally OVER hating miserable endings" above. must go to bed now & stop hasseling you about liking things wildly out of character for you.

Yeah, but the thing that makes that storyline so NOT a cliché is that the pilot seems to be setting him up to be the hero and this to be a heartbreaking blow, but it turns out that the show is basically not even about him. (I would argue, though there is room for disagreement as to how much it is about him, etc.). It is actually quite edgy.

ANYWAY, it has never been out of character for me to enjoy good storytelling, which this is.

You keep your paws off my high school boyfriend. I'm the only pedophile in our graduating class. Riggins is totally mine, you Anne Bancroft wannabe!
PS hope that wasn't too bitchy for my vox comeback
