We Still Won’t Watch ‘Friday Night Lights’
March 20th, 2008 by Talmudge Huxley
We keep hearing over and over that Friday Night Lights is “the best show you’re not watching.”
Okay, critics, we get it. It’s a good show. Maybe the best ever. But we’re busy people and we can’t drop everything to watch the best show we’re not watching just because you keep insisting.
And while we’re at it, thank God The Wire is finally over, so we don’t have to hear critics telling us to watch that too.
Unfortunately for our sanity, an FNL cast member recently revealed that the football drama is being picked up for a third season. This despite the fact that no one watches the show except shut-ins and television critics.
Now we have to listen to another year of critics scolding us for not watching this show. Thanks, NBC!

Amen! I felt the same way when the critics kept scolding people for not watching Arrested Development. In both cases they eventually talked me into trying the shows, only to discover that I enjoyed them even less than expected. AD was pretentious, absurd, and too in-love-with-itself. FNL is uninteresting, dull even, appears to be shot by an ex-MTV cameraman with epilepsy (to make it feel edgy?), not to mention too often looking grainy and poorly lit. I’ll return to watching shows I love that the critics seem disinterested in, thanks.
