Save Friday Night Lights

Friday Night Lights is the best show on television. Check it out on Netflix or even nbc.com and you'll see why. Seriously. But NBC never promoted it properly, putting it on Friday nights when no one's watching. It belongs on Thursdays at 10:00 pm, as a replacement for the aging and stale ER. It is the most complling drama on tv, rivaling even the Sopranos, and would have totally taken off if given the spotlight.

Anyway, the problem is that it might not come back on the air, a casualty from the writer's strike. That's why everyone needs to SIGN THE PETITION from our good friends at best week ever to save the show. Just think, what would Riggins do?

Oh, and Hillary had a bad week. She abandoned the states in play after February, thinking that she should not invest the money since she didn't have a chance. This gave all the momentum to Obama, even for states that did not matter, which in turns game him all the fund-raising momentum , since no one wants to give money to the candidate who's losing. Gulliani followed this same failed strategy and this is the real reason why Hillary fired her campaign manager. Kisses!

I am LOVING Friday Night Lights and I don't understand how such a good show could go SO unnoticed on TV. Although I think if I cry one more time while watching the show, my husband is going to ban me from watching it...

Nilda loves the show, but groaned when I told her it was next on our queue. That is exactly why NBC should have placed it more prominently in the schedule, to force more people to give it a shot.

Ironically, when Friday Night Lights first came on the air, it was on on Tuesdays, I believe. People who actually paid attention then actually took it to task for not airing on Friday nights!

Also, the best show on teevee is clearly The Wire, B-Dub. Everyone knows that.

Also also, "compelling" & "in turn." Come on! (This is why Nilda has to watch over your shoulder!)

Finally, the writers strike is now officially over! Yays!!

And I'm taking "Kisses!" as another shout-out. Double yays!!

It is "Giulani" not "Gulliani." Not like he was the mayor of the city you live in or anything.....

Do either of you live in NYC?! It's "GIULIANI" to both of you - I don't want either of you on my team when we play the spelling part of Cranium!! LOL

DorothyMantooth said...

Ahem.
I believe the correct spelling is actually 9/11.

@ dorothymantooth: Took the joke right out of my mouth:

"S-e-p-t-e-m-b-e-r-1-1-t-h" is also an acceptable spelling.

DorothyMantooth said...

Yes!

Now when can we expect Luke's Mommy to chime in on this important issue?

(And where's the love for Noah? Harsh, man!)

Not to worry, Noah's around here somewhere...he'll get his turn. But he certainly appreciates you lookin' out.

And I believe that Noah's mommy will soon grace us with her commentary.

Any chance that I'll be able to get The Wife (v.Mary) to watch this show? B-dub's high praise notwithstanding, it's a show about football, right? End of story.

Ok, having a little trouble typing. Looks like I picked the wrong time to stop drinking in the morning. "luke's brother'" has been corrected.


And where's Irene's blog?

Anonymous said...

the best past of the show is that it usually ends with a great football game (about 2 minutes worth). LOL I LOVE IT!

DorothyMantooth said...

Irene has no blog. Irene spends all of her time posting comments on other blogs and, hence, has no time to create a blog of her own. Also, Irene's creativity is entirely derivative.

Irene's turn-ons include long walks on the beach, men who aren't afraid to cry, and speaking in the third person.

As for Friday Night Lights (which I have also never watched), find a "summary," of sorts, here.

DON'T read that summary - it's a spoiler for those of us still on season 1!!! Irene? Where's the warning?!

DorothyMantooth said...

Spoiler??!!!
Nope. Pretty sure that's a comedic take (by a couple of the writers from The Office) on what happens in every episode. A "parody," if you will.

Unless you think is a spoiler for the upcoming epis of The Office!

(In all seriousness, though, I'm sorry if some of that stuff in the introductory paragraph was spoiler-ish. Like I said, I don't watch the show.)

Grrrr! Close tags!

(You need a preview screen, B-Dub.)
