Sorry for the delay in replying - I've been on holiday. I'm so glad it's winning you over - I was sure it would! :) Which characters are you liking the most?
It's way, way better than One Tree Hill. I don't mind One Tree Hill, but Friday Night Lights is on a whole other tier of awesome. It transcends its setting completely - I'm not interested in American football, or, ostensibly, small-town Texas (King of the Hill love notwithstanding) - but it's a universal show.
A quote from the Boston Herald: "Friday Night Lights used high school football as a vehicle to explore plainly and authentically the way in which people live, struggle and thrive in small towns."
You have phenomenal taste in TV shows - I really think you'd like it. Like Whedon, like Everwood, like Six Feet Under, it uses the characters on screen to deliver a profound message, as a microcosm of the world we live in. The characters are among the best-written and best-portrayed in the history of the medium. Check it out.

I concur. I'd like to think that if they ever revisited the list, they'd seperate it as such.
I haven't seen it!
Nice work!
Can we fix the scary red error messages currently showing up on every page?

My description of it, which was printed in DVD Review magazine.

I finally caught this show just last month! A great comedy.
