Friday Night Lights
Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

The show was highly acclaimed by critics, but i think people are gettin sick of the whole "friday night lights"/ taking high school football too seriously theme.. shows like these just make Texas High school Football fans look ignorant anyways

Shouldn't have put it head-to-head against Dancing With The Stars. I know that's what I'm always stuck watching.

then i don't see how it can have the same intensity as the movie if its about some random team in Texas.....not mention i'm sure it makes us look like a bunch of losers with no lives when ppl from other states watch this show...making it so dramatic.....is it a 5A team i'm guessing??Originally posted by 3afan

I know NBC has ordered more episodes. My sister & 2 young nephews in Austin were cast in the 10th episode recently & have already filmed it. Submitted photos & were selected to be in a show. They are extras in the background at a church from what I understand. They got paid & everything! I believe they are now airing show 4 or 5 currently.
That being said, it is a little over the top some of the time. Maybe most of the time would be more accurate.

Everyone complains that the show is "over the top" and to "hollywood"
Well duh...Do you think Lawyers in real life act like they do in Boston Legal, or doctors in real life act like they do in Grey's anatomy?
FNL is not trying to be realistic, it is trying to catch the essence of what HS football in Texas is about, and I honestly think it does a pretty good job of showing how football captures the town heart, the pressures on the coaches and the kids. Of course it is overly dramatic, but it has to be.Sideline To Sideline Show Each Week at https://lonestargridiron.com/categor...-to-sideline//
