Brian Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Figured since shows like LOST and others premiere this week, we should start a huge thread to talk about all the great TV shows instead of making individual threads for each show. Friday Night Lights premieres in 20 minutes and has gotten good reviews. I'm tuning in. Pin-able?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 FNL was very fast paced. Hour was over before I knew it. Lots of similarities to the movie and book, but it will have to branch out further as a TV show and judging by previews, it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juddling Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'm digging Studio 60 and Heroes on NBC.....Nip/Tuck has me intrigued so far this early season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the football scenes were awful and that really takes away from the show. The game winning play was so unrealistic it killed the entire episode for me.

That was my thing as well, but I wasn't gonna let that one thing take away from the other 45 minutes. It was the first game of the year, not the state championship so I forgive t hem for not building up the drama more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retro1983hat Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Embarassed to say, but I have actually been watching that horrible Flavor Flav dating show on VH1. It's worse than you could imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I like FNL a lot as well. However, like you guys both said...the football is unrealistic. They go from being on the 30 yard line when the ball is snapped with 3 seconds left, to the quarterback scrambling all the way back to the 20 and then throwing a long bomb for the TD. However, the premise is good. Hopefully the football action will get better. Also, for anyone who missed it: The Whole Episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt have been more dissapointed with the show. Why didnt they just call it Varsity Blues 2? The characters are just over blown reproductions of other shows and movies. They really just amplify the characters to the point where its too unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Wasn't planning on watching it, but turned on "The Nine" as it started. Started out very good but then got slow and ended with a decent enough twist to keep me watching. Seems like it may go along the lines of LOST in terms on a big event happens, this time a bank robbery, and we find out what happens in episodes through flashbacks and such. The show started as everyone shows up at the bank, than just as the robbery starts, it goes to commercial and comes back saying 52 hours later.

I would have rather watched anything than that boatload of crap they call Friday Night Lights. Way to ruin the title of a pretty good movie idiots. On another note, The Nine has me hooked and I cant wait to see what happened in the bank, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
