I was writing in my blog a few days ago when it occured to me that "Friday Night Lights" was possibly headed towards many storylines that I had been examining in my research.
My blog (http://52gooseeggs.blogspot.com/)concerns the great success of the football team from Bedford County Training School, from Tennessee, which once posted 52 consecutive shutouts against football opponents. That accomplishment, achieved from 1943-1950, remains a national record today.
I thought some of the readers of this blog might enjoy some of my observations.
I grew completely addicted to FNL during my recent year of research about high school football in the south the days before desegregation. During this time, I watched the first three seasons of FNL in their entirety, then watched them again via Netflix with my slow-to-warm up wife. She did finally stop her protests when I caught her wiping her eyes during most episodes.
My addiction did not stop there. I read the book that started it all, and then I watched the feature film.
As an English teacher, I am a constant critic of the way narratives are constructed, and my respect for FNL's writers has not faded upon closer, critical examination. Because I am a high school teacher I especially appreciate the writers' success in depicting full, well-rounded teenaged characters. The actors are clearly given a "wide pitch" by the director, and their collective talent is, in my opinion, unmatched by any show presently on network television.
I wrote the blog entry about "Thursday Night Lights Out" knowing that I was taking a (pun intended) shot in the dark, but the writing process itself is always worthwhile, even when there is minimal feedback.
That said, any feedback on my ideas about FNL or any of the work at http://52gooseeggs.blogspot.com/, will be very gratifying.   The entry that deals directly with FNL is my most recent, entitled "Thursday Night Lights Out."

This is the best tv show period. Its dead on accuracy of high school life and football is amazing! I watch it and get chills because i feel like i am living in the glory days again. The season 3 finally was breath taking. I love this show but i really dont care if they continue after season 3 because everything seems in place to me. From Tim going to college to Mat staying with his grandma, it felt nothing but right. In life, things are not always perfect, and this is expressed in the last few episodes of season 3. I really like the fact that they lost state because it brings out reality, along with coach taylor getting stiffed out of his job. I haved loved this show from day 1, thank God for FNL!

I started watching FNL's because my boss watched it and would tell me about the show.  It sounded interesting so I started watching.  I have enjoyed the show until a few weeks ago when the brothers started stealing copper wire.  Bad choice in story lines.  I live in an area where copper thefts are high and costing lots of money to all of us.  I keep hoping they will get caught and have this be a life lesson but nothing yet.  I am also kind of disgusted about all the underage drinking going on.  Come on people.  I have to say Matt is my favorite character and I think he is getting a bad deal.
