During the week, I hardly remember that I have a TV. I'll sit on my couch, look at my TV, and be like, "I'm bored; what can I do?" Then I'll look at my TV for another 10 seconds or so, shrug my shoulders, and go into my room to crank out another 300 push-ups and 500 sit-ups. So I'm not one of those TV people.
However, thanks to the World Series sucking balls so hard, I flipped through the channels during baseball one night and found Friday Night Lights. Now, I understand that people who tell you that you just have to watch a show are assholes who are just forcing their interests on you, but… you have to watch this show. I know it's confusing, because it's called Friday Night Lights and it's usually on Tuesdays, only tonight it's on Monday, up against Sunday Night Football which is also now on Mondays, but take some time out tonight to watch this show. It's on at 10 p.m. on NBC. Oh, and all times are Eastern, because the Midwest is dead to me.
Then, at 11 o'clock, skip the local news (today's headline: somebody got shot) and watch the Daily Show, where King James, Monsieur LeBron Himself, will be the guest during Jon Stewart's week of recording the show from Ohio. I guess Carl Monday wasn't available.
Finally, if you get really bored and "Two and a Half Men" just isn't bringing the laughs like it usually does, check out Monday Night Football, Pats at Vikings. You can marvel at John Madden's plasticky blubber Tony Kornheiser's lazy combover in HD, and — if we're lucky — Tom Brady will cuddle a goat.


Just judging from the promo shot, I’m not so sure about the verisimilitude of the show. On the one hand, the black kid isn’t really integrated into the group, which jibes with my memories of Texas, but on the other hand, one of the high school guys has long hair, which totally blows my suspension of disbelief. When combined with the sandles he appears to be wearing, we are just one Evian bottle away from the funeral scene in Heathers. No way that guy makes it out of small town Texas alive.
When did NBC start doing Monday Night Football? Madden? Did you hit your head, or am I just out of the loop?
who’s the guy with the goat?
and will Voodoo get the start???
yeah, it’s a good show, but it’s still got nothing on the book or the movie.
Sorry about the fuck-up, Eric. Like I said, I get confused by how they switched Sunday and Monday Night Footballs.
Jack, admit it: you’re one of the people who shat on “The Office” with Steve Carell when it came out because it wasn’t as good as the British version. “Oh, this popular thing is okay, but it’s not as good as this less popular thing that came out first.” You should move to New York.
Fuck Ufford! I was onboard with the office from the start. the fact remains, FNL the tv show is a hell of a lot more like Varsity Blues.
I still like the show but they shouldn’t have kept the original name (especially if they couldn’t get rights to the MOJO)
Shouldn’t it be Uck Fufford?
