Friday Night Lights nabbed 2 Emmy nominations this year, including Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series. I personally haven't seen this show but will all of the hype I may just have to pick up this DVD box set.

If you're anything like me, you knew that you would instantly hat this show. However, as you started to watch it, you found it to be compelling and character driven and human and just right. As it turns out, it's one of my favorite network shows right now.

If you've seen my other TV show picks, you might thing this one sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm not a football/sports fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I have always enjoyed sports movies. I enjoyed the shows namesake movie, so I gave the series a shot. You don't need to be a sports fan to be sucked in by this raw, dramatic and hugely related drama. The sharp writing and superb acting brings us some of the real and relate able characters in recent memory, and the football backdrop allows a unique perspective into their lives. It lost a little believability in the second season, but season 1 is pure perfection.
