NBC's "Friday Night Lights"

I don't know what it is, but I have a passion for NBC's Friday Night Lights. Something about the show gets me going when I watch.

Is it the characters, is it the story? I don't know. But it might be the best show on television right now.

Instead of going to the game Friday nights, I turn on the tube and watch the action unfold on the little screen.

I would like to go to the games, but I have to work at the paper come kickoff time. I still live in the atmosphere of high school football.

I didn't play Texas high school football. Don't really regret it, but I like sports and I like Texas. I guess my interested in the show can be attributed to H.B. Bissinger's book.

Odessa Permian was something else. They won. Simple as that.

I can see the show getting a little O.C. (Orange County for non TV heads) in the upcoming season or so.

I'll just enjoy for the time being. Go to NBC.com to catch up with a few episodes. They have "limited" commercial interruptions, but its worth it in the end.
