    its shocking how little i care about any of these shows(except for the telethon and FNL). Why can't the real housewives become really dead?

    Friday Night Lights is one of the best shows to ever grace the airwaves. If you haven't seen it, it's truely a keeper, and worth a look. This critically acclaimed show has never gotten the respect it deserves, and no one knows why. The acting is first rate and the writing is worthy of any show, ever...
