I may be admitting to being the world’s biggest dork but I just don’t care: I look forward to the end of the week so I can watch one of the best shows on TV; “Friday Night Lights.” If ratings are any indication, I may be the only one watching, but this is by all accounts one of the best shows on television. She plugs it every chance she gets, and did so again last night.

As Chelsea will point out, the show isn’t really about football. I don’t even really understand football, and I love this show! It’s easily the most real drama on TV. There is plenty of inter-personal drama for the ladies, and football for the fellas. This show has a little something for everyone. It’s filled with great writing –except for one annoying murder plot from last season, but that’s behind us now–stellar acting, and beautiful people. I am partial to Tim Riggins, but there are tons of great characters. Last year, I became obsessed with Tyra Collete’s hair — and ended up with a version of it.
If you aren’t already watching this show, you really need to start. If you won’t take my word for it, I’ll give you my Nana’s phone number — we watch it together.
