Friday Night Lights

I caught a marathon of this show just before the season premiere and am now hooked. It's kind of cheesy, but I can't help it.

I ws really suprised to find out that the injured QBs family is suing the coach.

I'm interested in finding out what is going to happen once that one kid Smash's mom finds his steroids (and subsequently finds out that he used the money that the church donated to him for "SAT prep" to buy them.)

Anyone else watch this?

I know it's tv and not real life but: in Texas, a teacher (or coach) cannot be sued for liability. It's a state law. They can sue the school district, but not the teacher or coach if a student is injured. This keeps us from being sued if Susie Ann falls off the swing set and breaks her arm. Somebody on the show should have checked their facts.

I hate it. Maybe the most cliche, sterotypical crap-laden representation of small town Texas and Texas High School Football I have ever seen. Absolute garbage.

Surely, you're not expecting a tv show to let accuracy get in the way of drama.

I watched it once, mainly because I liked the book and the movie. Once was enough.
