The best TV show no one is watching

[GenuineRisk]

My husband and one of my friends finally successfully nagged me into watching "Friday Night Lights" on DVD and holy cow; it's good. The ratings have been terrible, which is a shame. The network is giving it another half season to see how it does, but if ratings don't pick up they'll can it.

Netflix this show's first season, for the love of Pete, so you can get caught up before the second season starts. It's exciting TV about a high school football team and I say this as someone who has attended exactly two high school football games in my entire life, the last one in 1996. First one in 1986, come to think of it. Or maybe 1987.

Honest, I don't proselytize for a TV show unless I think it's that good. For example, I have somehow gotten sucked into "Rock of Love with Brett Michaels" but I would not recommend anyone else giving up an hour a week of his or her life to watch it, because, frankly, it's crap. But I am weak.
