Friday Night LightsRead about another entry on the list.
NBC (2006-2011)
Based on: Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream by H. G. Bissinger
Many people’s choice for Best Show Ever, regardless of its literariness. And why not? It was a show about football that people who didn’t care about football would watch, a realistic but twisty story of a small town in America and its many connected inhabitants, and a deeply absorbing drama. It made you care. That’s about the best thing you can say about a show. There was just that one storyline that we don’t talk about. And neither does Landry. Just doesn’t come up again. It’s fine. We’ve forgotten it.
