Friday Night Lights - Pilot

Here's the link the my initial review of the pilot I saw back in the summer. Re-watching Friday Night Lights last night, I must say it didn't lose any appeal and was just as good as I remembered, and still amazed at the quality of the filming and how they didn't glossify life in a small town (though the girls do seem a bit tarted up, but hey, I guess it's on NBC so they need to get an audience somehow).

Can I just say that I love your blog? It's such a fabulous window into what we here in the UK will have in a few months (years?) time if we're lucky or never (which, sadly, is often more likely).

What's the deal with Justice and why do you think it will be cancelled? I love me some Eamonn Walker, so I was hoping, since he's English and everything, that the show might make it to this country, but maybe not, if it's not doing so well over there...

Oh wow! thanks! i thought it was just the two friends that I forced to read my blog that actually visit the site. But I hear ya! I lived in London once and was like. uh. wait a minute. Wasn't all this from a few years ago? Though I hear it is getting a little better.

On Justice, they are pulling it for baseball but they just got an order for a few more eps (2 or 4? or something like that) which is a good sign and the warnings of their demise was a little premature. I'm a little over procedurals but I'm kinda hooked on Justice somehow (basically cause great cast) but now that Lost is returning tonight in the same timeslot, it might have a tougher time. (Though thank goodness in Canada, CTV carries both).
