Friday Night Lights

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Even though 'Friday Night Lights' almost did — many times. Despite the beloved NBC-turned-DirecTV series being a fan and reviewer favorite, the series fumbled in the ratings, threatening its existence year after year. But credit sheer tenacity (or the power of Connie Britton's hair) for 'Friday Night Lights' continuing for five seasons, and delivering some of the best television a network has ever delivered. And the pilot? Well, it's nothing less than a touchdown. And that's precisely what Kate and Allison discuss in our latest episode of our podcast. Not only do we dig into the innovative way 'Friday Night Lights' shot its episodes, but we also find out the scandalous story about Kyle Chandler's casting — and the unmistakable chemistry between Chandler and Britton. Plus, we discover which actor was the absolute worst football player.
