effinel, man. effinel.

we've been re-watching FNL. which, for those of you who don't know stands for Fajita's Never Lose.

i don't know why i said that. i was trying to be clever.

Friday Night Lights. 

not the movie.

the show. which is nothing like the movie. so don't be afraid.

but after watching it again, i feel like i can say with confidence that it is quite possibly the best drama on television.

fine, on network television. 

it's so well written, very well directed, and some of the more convincing performances on television.

but more than all of that, it's just so....good. i feel so good watching it. i feel like i'm watching real people, and i feel like i'm rooting for them. i feel like i want to be like them. i feel like i want to help them.

i think it's rare for people to find closeness to characters like that.

my favorite show of all time would possibly be Deadwood, which is an amazing amazing show that was on HBO and then the stupids of the world cancelled it for the show everybody loved so much John from "who-cares-where because this show sucked so bad it barely made it one season."

anyways, the reason i bring that up is because as much as i love that deadwood, i never felt like i related to any of the characters (probably mostly because i'm not living in the lawless black hills of 1860's).

but with FNL, i do. and because of that, i love this show.

so, with that all being said, watch it. even if you don't like football, even if you don't like small town texas, even if you don't like high school drama, watch it.

because i didn't like any of those things when i started watching it. now look at me.

new season starts tomorrow.

which means you have 1 day to catch up.

better get to it.
