The television show, Friday Night Lights
I just watched it's final episode this past week, and it was amazing. This whole season was amazing. The whole run of the show was amazing.
I would say that Friday Night Lights is in contention with being the best television series of all time. (The other two contenders are Gilmore Girls... which would probably walk away with the title if not for the fact that it kind of faltered there for a couple of seasons, and Everwood... which had a solid run all around, but should have lasted longer.)
The relationship of Eric and Tami Taylor is portrayed beyond comparison. I can't even begin to describe how true-to-life, heartfelt, and real it is.
So, if you haven't watched Friday Night Lights, please watch it in its entirety... all the way from Season 1 through Season 5.
For some reason or other, I ended up watching this fabulous series without Vernon. So, after the final episode, I told Vern that I was going to do him a favor and watch all the episodes of Friday Night Lights over again... with him. (This is a big thing for me, because I tend to NOT want to watch something over that I've already seen once... I'd rather watch something new.) I said, "We could watch one episode every Friday night. Wouldn't that be fun?"
And Vernon said, "I'd rather find something else to do every Friday night... like go out with you."
Ah, sweet, yes. But that's not the point. The point is that Vernon does not fully understand the awesomeness of this show. He doesn't get it. He doesn't see. I MUST MAKE HIM SEE! I MUST GET HIM TO UNDERSTAND!
I MUST GET YOU ALL TO UNDERSTAND! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING! IT IS TRULY THE MOST AMAZING SHOW EVER!
(Please... I don't care if you all listen to what I say about birth, food, parenting, whatever... but please listen to me on this. That's all I have to say.)

Ha! I totally and completely agree. And The Hubs has no interest whatsoever in FNL, either. Probably because he doesn't like football, high school or really even Fridays. I've been waiting for all of season 5 to come out so I could watch it at once and I'm heartbroken to hear it's the last season. :,-(
And PS, please don't go private. I might shrivel up and die without my weekly dose of Goofy.
I like TV. Here are my favorites. Yes I understand some are from HBO and maybe a bit vulgar, but whatever.
Mad Men
Deadwood
The Office
Arrested Development
The Wire
Top Chef
The Hills (!)
The Hills??? What the heck?
I think you would enjoy "The Walking Dead".
I got my boyfriend to watch and he is hooked! It is such a great show and I absolutely love Eric and Tami Taylor.
I CALL IT FRIDAY NIGHT MAMAS!
Okay, Allison,
I don't want you to think that you have that much power over me, but you do because I just added FNL to my queue on Netflix. It's available to watch instantly, so I hope to check it out soon. I'm not convinced that I'll like it, but I'm convinced enough to check it out.
We don't have cable or TV, so it may be a new Netflix fix for me to catch when I can.
Right now the only show that I see on the computer with any regularity is "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon". I think he's super-uper goofy....hysterical. I get my laugh-out-louds every time I see it.
Sending you warm sunshine from NM. It looks like you could use it in the hella-cold there in MN.
Still waiting for answers to the Goody Mama Questions ...
Robin - How wonderful! I am so excited for you! And I am excited for me in being able to influence the lives of my readers in such a positive way. Remember when Jimmy Fallon had a "Saved By The Bell" reunion? That was awesome.
Anonymous - Yes, I should really get to those.
Ummm...Supernatural???
