Did anyone else watch the premiere last night? My TV schedule was very crowded but I recorded it and watched it and found it very good(surprisingly). It's based on the movie by the same title. NBC is re-airing it tonight at 8pm ET/PT for anyone interested. I will defintely be watching in future weeks.

I predict that it will be a mega-hit!!!! It is so true to what Texas High School football is all about, good or bad. I've seen it for many years in real life. There were a few things that were over the edge or not in sync, like major back surgery at a small local hospital, but overall it was well done.

I watched it, thought it was really good only thing it had me crying like a baby at the end. Hit close to home, my son plays college football so I've been through the high school stuff

It was actually really good. It is now in my rotation. On another note, parts of it is (was) filmed in Hutto and Pflugerville. It was pretty neat to see parts of where we live in the show.

Ratings were not good...

In series-premiere news, the lights were clearly not bright on new NBC drama Friday Night Lights, which kicked-off with a mere 5.3/ 8 in the overnights (#4), 7.18 million viewers (#3) and a 2.7/ 8 among adults 18-49 (#3) at 8 p.m.

I knew it would struggle(against DWTS and NCIS), but it should have done better than that. That's bad.

"Dancing with the Stars," 11.4/19, won the 8 p.m. hour for ABC. CBS' "NCIS," 9.7/16, had its best numbers of the young season, possibly benefiting from the absence of FOX's "House." NBC was a distant third with the premiere of "Friday Night Lights," 4.7/7. FOX's coverage of the New York Yankees-Detroit Tigers playoff game was fourth for the hour. "Gilmore Girls" earned a 3.3/5 for The CW.
