Ok, HAVE NOT started watching it yet but....season one was on sale super cheap at walmart so I picked it up based on all the rave reviews you guys were giving this show and my mom loves it too so I figure I will give it a watch here in a couple days. Just wanted to start this thread so I can come post more after I watch a few episodes ;D

I'm so glad more people are getting into this show. Coach Taylor might be my favourite character from any show I've ever watched.
Remember: Clear eyes, full heart, can't lose.
I'm actually considering getting that tattooed on me, they're great words to live by.
I actually got into the show because it combines two of my greatest loves: Texas and football. If working in television doesn't work out, I'd actually love to coach high school ball in Texas.
It's also the most beautiful show ever made. Seriously. And it has Explosions In The Sky, one of my favourite bands ever, all over the soundtrack.
Yeah, I think I actually prefer FNL to OTH. And I know that's damn near blasphemy. LOL.

Mine as well i think he says it all and represents something and I just love him. Kyle chandler isnt bad to look at as well That is a great idea i think you should i would do it! I say that phrase sometimes and my friends are like what the heck? When the show is on i say it with them. I will say I enjoy this show more than one tree hill. I like oth but i think FNL is more real and just has so much emotion. Take the pilot it was so emotional the quote at the end all the events and still today i enjoy this show as much as that episode. I love the music and the theme song. Friday night lights is my favorite theme ever beside for Roswell. The music is always so fitting. I probably sound obsessed right now but that's okay.

I paid nothing for them but, in defence of my piracy, the show isn't actually available on DVD past the first season in the UK because the channel that showed it really made a mess of it - awful timeslot (1.45 AM on a Sunday, FFS) - and no promotion. Shame, because it's probably the best thing they own the rights to. I sketched my tat, by the way, I'm just stuck with a dilemma. Do I get it around the Lion... or the Panther? oOoOo

Or maybe wait until the show is over to decide. All I know is either way it will be great!

Ok...I watched the first 2 episodes of season 1. I love movies that have a sports story as the back drop (Remember the Titans, We Are Marshall to name a few) I guess as far as TV shows the only one I could really compare it to is OTH. I like it so far but I'm not in love with it. It hasn't totally consumed me like other shows do at times. I will keep watching though.

Episode 3 was really good! Everyone kind of broke down finally. Coach and the team. I loved when he took them out to run in the rain and then they all start yelling "Clear eyes, full heart, can't lose."
I almost lost it when Lyla pulls over to talk to Tim (? long hair...still trying to keep all the characters straight lol) and they both just break down. Great episode! Coach Taylor kind of reminds me of a younger version of Whitey so far. Especially when he made Tim walk home.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through season 1. I just watched the episode with Mac and all the racial accusations. I'm really liking the show now. I love how everyone's lives in the town are somehow attached to football and if the team loses everyone loses something in one way or another. Matt and Julie are the freaking cutest thing ever!!! Soooo adorable. Don't hate me for saying this...and please don't spoil anything...but I kind of want Lyla to be with Tim! I know they just had a "fling" or whatever and she is supposedly so in love with Jason but her and Tim have all this passion! I also really like the friendship between Julie and Tyra it was kind of unexpected but I think they could both learn a lot from each other.

I feel the same way as you about all of that! LOL. I love Matt he was instantly my favorite he is adorable and him and Julie are one of my favorite couples. Landry is great too.
I didn't like Jason to be honest. I didn't see it between him and Lilah and I won't spoil but I agree Tim and Lilah do have a fire.
Tyra and Julie that was a good friendship and a favorite because it was unexpected yet it made so much sense.
The Mac episode was interesting racial views are hard to do in TV but I think they executed it well. Can't wait to hear more of your opinions.
Do you love the Taylors? They are one of my favorite adult couples.
