Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose March 1, 2008

I thought the first episode of Friday Night Lights was filled with foolball cliche and outright ripping off Remember the Titans and Varsity Blues. Fortunately I gave the show another try. I'm not entirely sure where the turning point was when I went from finding the show cliched to being one of the upper tier of great television but I have a feeling it had to do with the greatness of Landry Clarke, Matt Saracen's socially challenged, math loving best friend. br / br /Landry isn't the only great character on the show, if fact every character on the show is well crafted, from the cast members right down to the guest stars (well Tyra's mother aside). You end up getting deeply involved with each and every one of them and the camera work and the locations makes you feel like you are actual resident of the town of Dillon, Texas. You are heartbroken when Tyra gets assaulted. You feel the pain when Jason finds out his girlfriend cheated with his girlfriend. Emotions wash over you when Mrs. Taylor confronts her daughter when she finds out she is planning to have sex. And even as cliched as most of the games were (how many games did they come from behind from to win on the final play?), you still get the tingles when the games start and are on the edge of your seat when the games inevitably goes down to the wire. br / br /Now I am not one to talk about acting because there are actually very few great actors in Hollywood. And most acting awards are given not to the best actor but to the best written characters as great writing can make moderate actors seem like great actors (see Sarah Michelle Gellar in Buffy the Vampire Slayer). With that said, all the award shows that haven't recognize Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, have instantly lost all credibility, But whenever Chandler and Britton were on screen together I started to smile because I knew something great was coming up. And nobody does the passive aggressive annoyance better than Kyle Chandler, just see any scene he is in with Buddy Garrity.

I don't think there is a show of higher quality on TV than Friday Night Lights. It's real and refreshing and the entire family will fall in love. NBC is very close to shutting it down. Please give it a shot, so that NBC will do the same. You won't be sorry!

This show has been amazing since the first episode. I thought that I would hate the show so I didn't start watching till about half way through the first season but when I watched one episode I knew that this was a great show. The writing paired with these actors is unbelievalbe. I recommend this show because it is spectacular. The second season started a little slow but has picked up and gets better every episode. Watch this show.

Wow! So many, many good things in this episode. But let's do a spoiler warning before I proceed. br / br /Warning! Spoilers ahead! br / br /This episode has several arcs more or less written in parallel, most of them involving couples. There is Coach Taylor and Tami, with coach back in Dillon and feeling especially amorous toward his wife, who doesn't feel quite ready to be the object of his affections. There is Julie and Matt, with Julie, regretting her dumping of her ex, making overtures by inviting him to a Decembrists concert (I must say, the small town kids I know do NOT have musical tastes that cool). There is a very interesting triangle between Lyla, Jason, and Riggins (which culminates with one of my favorite lines of the season, when the tempted by not succumbing Lyla, still committed to her Christian principles, walks off saying, with a large smile on her face, "I need to go pray."). And of course there is Tyra and Landry, of which I want to hazard some guesses in a second. br / br /There is football as well, though as always the football is the least exciting and important part of the show. Taylor benches Matt and Smash for most of the game because of their joint failure to promote the good of the team. The unlikely hero of the game turns out to Landry. br / br /The murder plot thickens in this episode. Landry's dad, the local sheriff, may be seeing Tyra as a suspect and he knows that Landry has been less than honest to him. Obviously, he imagines that if there was any wrong doing, it was done by Tyra. So he goes to Tyra's house and insists that she get out of Landry's life. The scene in which she breaks up with Landry is one of the saddest of the season. We've seen what a positive influence he has been on her (she even comments on trigonometry early in the episode) and we know how much she thinks of him, so it is rather heartbreaking to see her break up with him by hurting him so badly that he will know that things are definitely over. When he asks why they are breaking up, she merely instructs him to go look in a mirror. He goes back to the post-game celebration stunned and she goes to her car and sobs. Prediction (and you don't need to be a seer to guess that something like this will take place): Landry's dad will either find evidence that he believes indicates Tyra killed her stalker or perhaps will actually arrest her, causing Landry to come forward with the truth. Tyra will then tell him why she broke up with him. We'll see then if they are able to put things back together. br / br /While Season Two had never been at all bad before this episode, this was one of those episodes that remind fans of why they watch this remarkable show. My lone fear is what the writers strike will do to this series. But in this it will hardly be alone.
Now Season Two can actually begin October 27, 2007

Although through the first few episodes FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS remained one of the most compelling shows on TV, it had suffered a bit from some structural problems in its narrative. On the one hand, Coach Taylor was off at Texas Methodist University, making his ongoing involvement in the narrative a challenge. On the other hand, there was the unnecessarily melodramatic killing by Landry of Tyra Collette's Season One stalker/attempted rapist. The latter has been a problem because what made Season One so outstanding was how it felt like an encapsulation of real lives. The killing simply didn't feel real. br / br /In my opinion the show always managed to overcome these missteps to remain a fascinating and engrossing show. But it did generate the sense that the season in some ways hadn't really begun. In this episode, however, Coach Taylor is back in Dillon, back in his old job, and returned to his family. And his return already seems to have helped several individuals. His wife Tami already seems less stressed. His daughter, who had been sorely tempted by the older bad boy known as The Swede, seems to have recovered her relationship with her mother, who gave her advice that may have helped Julie realize just how lame The Swede truly was. And he seems to have helped Buddy Garrity just as much. In the first three episodes Buddy seemed unsure of himself, rattled by the loss of his family as well as his status within the booster club. Here he is as confident as ever. br / br /The delicious part about this episode, as with the series as a whole, was the sheer number of things that took place in it. The show in many ways breaks with much traditional TV writing. A typical episode will have an A plot and a B plot, though after HILL STREET BLUES in the early eighties, many shows would have multiple threads in an episode. But some episodes of FNL have 7 or 8 or 9 threads going at once. Yet, it doesn't come across as at all incoherent or muddled. I'd love to see how they organize their various arcs. I assume they have some sort of ongoing storyboard. br / br /After being a major part of the first three episodes, the Tyra-Landry romance/murder ordeal played a somewhat smaller role in terms of time. Tyra does come to Landry's house for dinner, a nice touch. Though she has been increasingly attached to Landry, she has been somewhat unwilling to make their relationship obvious in public, let alone to her or his family. So this represents a big step, especially combined with her explanation in the previous episode to Landry's father why she likes Landry (a great scene because it was almost as if verbalizing to someone THAT and WHY she liked Landry caused her to realize just how much she had come to feel for him). While at dinner, however, Landry and Tyra overhear what they had been anticipating: the discovery of her assailant's body. I have no inside knowledge of what is going to happen on the show, but I think it is pretty clear that Landry is going to confess to what he did. br / br /So, despite a couple of things that seems atypical for this remarkable show, FNL seems entirely back on track. These remain a collection of many of the best characters on television and the acting in this show can stand comparison with any other show. I'm still not too excited about it being scheduled on Friday, but it remains, along with PUSHING DAISIES (easily the best new show of the season) the one show I most look forward to each week.
