searched and found nothing.

It premiered tonight (encore tomorrow at 8). Overall i thought it was pretty good, very predictable but im sure it will get better. I enjoyed it, your thoughts?



NBC has really stepped their game up this season, i'm very impressed.

10/3/2006 11:45:12 PM

it was decent...nothing like heros tho

what are some other good shows on this season (besides heros, studio 60 and this?)

10/4/2006 12:42:02 AM

I doubt it can get even half as close to the Movie...I love the movie....I think the best football movie within the last 20 years if not EVA.

Watched the first episode and it was good. I can't knock it about anything yet, b/c I enjoyed every aspect...The football scenes seem to be well played and thought out. A lil' cliche-ish but HS football and HS life is all Cliche'ish no matter how you cut it.

I don't know any of the actors so I look fwd to learning about them and see how they can carry the title.

not bad but it was very predictable.. you knew something was gonna happen to the QB after 10 minutes into the show

10/4/2006 11:05:25 AM

^Cliche'ish...I think they combining Varsity Blues with FNL...Starting All American QB down for good...back up comes in and does Good...new strategy to deal with...

Both took place in Texas...so I guess its ok

fire that fuckin' pigskin

10/4/2006 3:27:33 PM

they started with the backup QB....then later talked about how wonderful the starter was...def. easy to see that something was going to happen and cause the backup to go in

all in all, not too bad...

10/4/2006 5:48:06 PM

nbc.com you can watch the episode online.

10/4/2006 7:03:08 PM

that was pretty good... not to mention i can't miss a chance to watch some kind of football in hd

I figured it would be predictable and probably a lot like varsity blues, but none the less, great episode

10/4/2006 8:58:42 PM

i figured it'd be more like "friday night lights" lol

it was basically the same premise as that, except qb goes down instead of rb

which is also like "varsity blues" i suppose

either way, not bad pilot episode, and since i'm addicted to HD programming i'm sure to continue watching for now

10/4/2006 9:02:22 PM

I got a little tired of seeing the NBC truck and crew everywhere. Pilot episode did a good job of keeping the feel of the movie, even kept the Explosions in the Sky music although id imagine theyll change it up during the season.

ehe, i know its network tv but the coach yelling "Horsecrud!" at the ref just doesnt feel like football.

think she REALLY loves him? or his $$$ possibilities?

10/10/2006 8:07:52 PM

^ which one, because I am sure the answer to all is they are in it for the $$$$

10/10/2006 8:18:34 PM

oh damn. pwnt

10/10/2006 8:23:28 PM

haha nice

10/11/2006 12:35:44 AM

I missed last episode, will have to try and catch online between class

I heard some TV On The Radio during the practice. Im liking this show right now and I usually hate sports dramas.

10/12/2006 5:09:44 AM

I've liked Kyle Chandler (the guy that plays the coach) in the other stuff I've seen him in ... not that he's been in much. We was in King Kong and an older show called Early Edition that my parents liked to watch.

10/12/2006 2:03:47 PM

This show's pretty sappy and cliched, but I'm watching anyways.

It's prally better than most of the crap on, and I have hopes that it'll get better.

But I was hoping for more along the lines of "I give it a 10! A fucking 10!"

10/12/2006 2:23:34 PM

I see that this show isnt doing very well so it might not get a chance to develop.

10/12/2006 2:32:51 PM

^ whatcha mean? ratings?

I think it's fairly good...VERY cliche, but good.

10/12/2006 2:58:57 PM

yes, ratings wise. my other posts in this thread mention how much i am enjoying this show.

10/12/2006 3:58:24 PM

Its on the decline. First week it did a 4.7/7 for 3rd. Then this week it only got a damn 4.1/6 and dropped to 4th, only marginally ahead of damn Gilmore Girls on the CW.

For last Tuesday:

Quote :

""Dancing with the Stars" delivered a 12.6/20 in the 8 p.m. hour for ABC. Second place went to CBS' "NCIS," which had a 9.9/15. FOX's baseball was third, outdoing the 4.1/6 for the second episode of NBC's "Friday Night Lights." On The CW, "Gilmore Girls" had a 3.2/5."

Season Premiere:

Quote :

""Dancing with the Stars," 11.4/19, won the 8 p.m. hour for ABC. CBS' "NCIS," 9.7/16, had its best numbers of the young season, possibly benefiting from the absence of FOX's "House." NBC was a distant third with the premiere of "Friday Night Lights," 4.7/7. FOX's coverage of the New York Yankees-Detroit Tigers playoff game was fourth for the hour. "Gilmore Girls" earned a 3.3/5 for The CW."

10/12/2006 10:42:02 PM

This show sucks

10/12/2006 11:08:54 PM

The number 1 reason for watching this show...



Damn

10/13/2006 1:56:05 AM

They need more sex and misbehaviour and less small town gee-golly heartfelt drama.

Watch Varsity Blues and make a show about it.

10/13/2006 10:35:48 AM

yeah, the daughter of the weird/evil dad is smokin'

and the fact that "Dancing with the Stars" was #1 shows you just how run down this nation has become

10/13/2006 10:49:10 AM

man can't believe she kissed that chump in the rain.

10/17/2006 8:58:24 PM

i missed most of tonites episode...what was the deal with the new black quarterback?

10/17/2006 11:01:23 PM

he is a Katrina Refuge that supposidly lead his team to a state championship and all this stuff. He's been living in a hotel and all the local high schools were recruiting him. Another bump in the road for saracen

10/17/2006 11:05:32 PM

he'll pull through and remain starting QB somehow

10/17/2006 11:08:24 PM

did they say "fuck" in tonights episode? i was in the other room and i think my roommates were watching it, took me by surprise.

10/17/2006 11:19:52 PM

don't recall.

still can't believe Lyla kissed Tim

10/17/2006 11:50:57 PM

i thought coach making tim walk home in the rain was pretty fuckin harsh. i mean it was late, dude coulda been shot or something. but then again, he woulda never got it on with lyla had he not. so go coach

10/18/2006 1:22:12 AM

This show sucks. What are they going to do after they exhaust all the sports movie cliches?

10/18/2006 2:14:09 AM

^Who cares? Its better than another fucking tired crime drama. Oh wow, Law and Order 7 or CSI 14. WOW ANOTHER LAW AND ORDER: SVTRSCPE. Ugh.

10/18/2006 5:05:51 PM

just watched online because stupid thing wasn't setup to record

I am starting to really like this show. I am betting the new black quarterback guy will get moved to another position and do well there (say running back).

10/18/2006 7:42:36 PM

receiver would be more likely

they got smash at running back, but i can't think of any receivers that they have really developed as characters.

you got riggins the fullback, smash at running back, the qb, etc. no wr i can think of.

10/18/2006 7:45:01 PM

very true

10/18/2006 8:10:25 PM

So far Voodoo is looking pretty bad ass. But he's also looking like he and the coach ain't gonna get along.

10/24/2006 8:17:55 PM

the thing i like about a show involving a high school football team is that it could potentially go on forever, as new characters enter and graduate...

10/24/2006 8:20:17 PM

Get rid of the QB, use 2 RBs and hell of a lot of reverses. Sounds like what we need to do.

10/24/2006 8:37:42 PM

I had the bat...i had the crowbar....i even drove the car that i jumped into. Any of you guys want a swizzler?

10/24/2006 8:49:08 PM

then he stole the guy right in the mouth. NICE!!

10/24/2006 9:16:36 PM

Seriously, this show is amazing and my favorite show on TV right now, but I can see why it isnt doing well. The series is way too real, the teenagers arent self-aware, and you know some these kids decisions are gonna come back to haunt them. If NBC cancels this show, I hope they tell the writers ahead of time so they can at least give us an ending.

10/26/2006 10:25:33 AM

i like this also but its far from my favorite show on tv

10/26/2006 10:32:09 AM

Until Rescue Me and Sopranos come back FNL is first for me.

10/26/2006 10:58:00 AM

the wire is better than the sapranos
heros is the best show on network tv

BattleStar is the best show on cable non-premie channel IMO
