I realize we're in the middle of baseball season, but I'm currently obsessed with the football-crazy NBC show, Friday Night Lights.
It's been on for three seasons but I only recently joined the bandwagon.
And because the show is in the "will they/won't they get funded for more seasons" stage, I am recruiting you to join me in loving the Dillon Panthers so they can go on as long as ER did!
My favorite players:
1. He's thoughtful and shy and takes care of his grandma, Matt Saracen is definitely not like the quarterback at my high school. BTW, you can see the actor who plays Saracen in "Post Grad" opening this summer!
2. I don't usually go for the beefy, bad-boy Tim Riggins type. But a guy who protects you from a tornado and creepy drunk boys is all right by me. See him in X-Men Origins: Wolverine right now.
3. Only a well-written show could make the self-obsessed and lady-crazy Smash Williams a guy you actually want to root for.
And the ladies:
1. With a full-time job, two daughters and the wife of the head coach, Tami Taylor and her no-nonsense-with-heart attitude is my new role model.
2. Julie Taylor likes ballet and art house movies but she still dates QB1 and watches her dad's game videos. How can you not love her?
3. She may be the hottest girl in school but Tyra Collette's not above falling in love with the not-so-handsome but super smart and funny Landry Clark.
There's your primer. Please, please watch the show when or if it comes back this fall.
Nina Garin is done with Edward Cullen and has moved on to Tim Riggins.
