I love it too!

The first 2 episodes have been awesome.

But the only thing is I don't really get how a saturday practise would work, did they also forfeit this weeks game, was it a bye in the second week, seemed strange.

Agreed, plus it meant Tami got booed at a pep rally on Saturday as well. Weird.

It's still good though, loving that Wallace from the Wire is there.
 
Time has always an issue FNL seems to get confused is, just look at how the characters have aged. I was assuming that both teams got a bye this week.

You do realise they play games on Friday nights in the US, hence the title.:D

Following on from the post above, from my limited understanding of how things work. Across America all high school football is played on Friday night, college football is played on Saturdays (afternoon and night) and the pros basically play the majority of games on Sunday (afternoon and night) and Monday night.

Clearly there is an exception to the rule (thanksgiving, public holidays ect and bowl games for college), but i believe this is how the system works.
 
Yeah that's my point, they played last Friday, had all school scenes and that, letting us know a week had past, so they should have had another game on Friday. But they didn't and they had a practice on Saturday.
 
Not sure why, but I had just assumed he had to forfeit that game because he had no team. Although you would think if he did they would have made mention of it.

This season has been amazing so far, can't wait for the next episode. Will be interesting to see what happens with that kid who had to swap to East Dillon. The scene with him and Mrs. Coach in the rain was great, as was the uniform burning one.

He forfeited the game because he was afraid of how badly his team would get injured if they continued. Based on the second episode they could have run back out and played if they wanted to. Agree that the second episode was amazing, the scene with the uniform burning made the hairs on my back stand up, especially when Luke burnt his Panthers uniform, that was a statement of commitment if ever I saw one.

One thing I hope they don't do this season is have the Panthers go through the season easily. Even with Eric as coach they struggled to make the State final, with Wade Aikman it should be even harder, plus the fact that the quarterback has shown himself to be extremely suspect under pressure.
 
I just went through this show and it is a gem. I found the first two seasons a bit too soapie for my tastes, but really loved the third and especially fourth seasons. My favourite Coach speech is to Smash at his final tryout, you can see Smash standing tall during it. It was awesome seeing Wallace and D'Angelo from The Wire in the fourth season. I thought JD was going to be a really interesting character, but it was a shame to see him turn into a cardboard cut-out villain. My favourite episode is The Son, which got an Emmy nod for writing, and my favourite match is the Mudbowl. Looking forward to the fifth and final season!

Tempted to watch this just for Kyle Chandler. He was in my all-time favourite TV show, Early Edition.
 
it's the last season for it sadly.

most of the season 1-2 stars return at some point. except for Smash. :( they could have done a great episode about Smash's return to Dillon if he was drafted into the NFL or something.

You should, its a travesty that he and Connie Britton who plays his wife haven't got more acclaim for 2 of the best performances over the last 5 years.
 
Just started to get into the show, think it's brilliant and will change the way you think about football - it is quite an eye-opener to see how different American football culture is compared to ours.

Kyle Chandler is fantastic as Coach Parker, even in the early episodes you can see the pressure taking its toll.

The football sequences are incredible and brilliantly shot (I think they used some footage from actual games?) but it is the human drama that had me hooked, the Jason Street storyline in season 1 is heartbreaking at times and makes you value the life you have, because in the blink of an eye it can be taken away... truly compelling viewing.

As an aside, the (non-fiction) book on which the series is (loosely) based, Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream by H.G. Bissinger, came in at No. 4 in Sports Illustrated's list of the best books ever written about sports.
 
still working my way through season 1, I have been careful not to read any spoilers but wow, what a series. writing and acting is on a par with Mad Men and other highly acclaimed shows. jason's story is heartbreaking but informative about the importance of learning to respect risk (phrase that I heard today), dreams can be taken away so quickly...

I to am loving it - i believe there is going to be a season 6, is this correct?

Looks like Matt is going to be brought back into it for a few weeks it ep 8 is anything to go by, which is great.

Can't say i'm all that impressed by the Vince storyline at the moment - seems very similar to something we seen with Smash a few seasons back now.

Wasn't Crash injured or on drugs which is why he struggled to get to College? Its clear Vince isn't going to go that way but obviously he's going to be the centre of a draft rigging type scandal and fall out with his father again and come back to Coach to save his arse. It may be that Coach becomes a College Head Coach at the end of the season and is the only one who will take Vince.
 
bit of a struggle to "find this" but am getting it now


need a new show, so heres hoping this one sticks
