Can't Lose. Except on TV. A couple weeks ago the NBC series Friday Night Lights went away, leaving a hole in my TV lineup. I honestly grew to really really like this show. The cast in my mind was fantastic. For my money I don't know that there's been a better High School coach ever than Eric Taylor. Kyle Chandler was awesome in my opinion. He was a softy at heart but on the outside he was gruff and grouchy as they come. The story lines sometimes got a bit ridiculous and took the whole "High School Football God" thing to, at times, unrealistic levels. But all in all I thought that it was fair. And while I was sad to see it go the one thing that made me very happy was that the show ended on its own terms. Unlike so many shows where the audience, network, advertisers, or whoever lose interest (**cough** Heroes) I feel like Friday Night Lights went out in a good way, it was a bittersweet ending in a way but you felt like it everything was okay and didn't feel like there were any loose ends. I'll really miss the show a lot, hopefully NBC (or some network) will get a good show to at least attempt to be a fill in.
