Hercules Has Seen Wednesday’s First New FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Since January!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
“Friday Night Lights” producers have changed just enough this year to keep Jason Katims’ small-town soap hopping. Judging by tonight’s fast-moving, story-packed fourth-season premiere, fans can anticipate another strong season. Some notes:
* 4.1, titled “East of Dillon,” begins in late August. Its first shot is of a windmill in motion.
* 4.1 begins as the pilot did, with a local radio broadcaster bringing us up to speed. Eric Taylor is now coaching the brand-new East Dillon Lions.
* New grad Matt Saracen, still in town to continue looking after his dotty grandma (and continue dating young Julie Taylor), is now a deliveryman for something called Panther Pizza. His grandma still thinks he plays for the Panthers, and Matt gets to demonstrate some of his tackling skills this week.
* Landry Clarke gets a letter informing him he’ll be attending East Dillon for the 2009-2010 school year. He’ll be the only familiar face on the East Dillon Lions.
* Buddy Garrity is still a West Dillon booster, but seems marginalized and unhappy.
* The East Dillion Lions HQ is a dump, covered inside and out with graffiti.
* We meet a future East Dillon player as he makes an unsuccessful bid to elude the police.
* As Coach Taylor weighs in his recruits, he discovers they all want to be QB1.
* After the title credits (and I can’t say what the title credits look like this season; the screener uses last season’s, with former regulars Adrianne Palicki and Minka Kelly still in the mix), we advance three weeks into September.
* We learn Dillon High principal Tami Taylor had a hand in redistricting the two Dillon high schools, and she is besieged by parents livid that their kids have been redistricted into the more ethnically diverse East Dillon High. This strife is exemplified by Julie’s friend Devon, who finds herself caught between parents and school administrators.
* The first time we see Tim Riggins, he’s slipping out of class as a college instructor is lecturing on “The Odyssey” and the hero’s journey. He’s next seen on his own hero’s journey, chucking his books and school supplies out the window of his fast-fleeing pick-up as he makes his way back to Dillon. I think Riggins’ story may be my favorite this first week back.
* Fans can also look forward tonight to Eric Taylor’s staffing dilemmas, a decision from Julie that greatly concerns her parents, Matt’s visit to the Dillon Tech art department, a hot mother-daughter team, a new look for Riggins’ newlywed sister-in-law, the return of Panthers quarterback J.D. McCoy, and perhaps the lowest point in Eric Taylor’s career.
9 p.m. Wednesday. DirecTV 101.

She looks better now than she ever did on Spin City.
-
man, we don't get em until January?! Lyla = hottest girl ever?
-
Briggs, Lyla is up there in the hotness scale. Too bad she won't be around much this season. It helps that the show is actually really, really good, too.

No doubt she is ridic. However, I watch this show for the writing first and foremost. People really need to give it a shot! It's amazing!
-
I think so.
-
One of the top 5 best show this past ten years, just amazing...the wait is what kills me...and why does this talkback has like ten replies??
-
and enjoying it.
are Texans really that religious? -
so far my favourites are Lyla and Mrs Coach, both very yummy
-
Friday Night Lights has been one of the most under-rated shows in the past few years. The writing is always solid and the actors are all brilliant in their roles. The show has depth and every character is unique and very easy to root for/feel bad for/hate etc depending on which character you're talking about. Can't believe that they had the baby be a girl... didn't see that coming.
-
Yes, they are that religious (the ones i've met--and i met many because i went to high school in mexico and drove up to texas alot to buy shit). But I can't speak for the masses in texas. What I do know is that they leave an opening on top of both their stadiums so God can watch, because apparently the cowboys are gods team. I'm originally from wisconsin, so i'd really like to be able to root for tony romo, but can't, because hes on the cowboys.I LOATHE the fact that for some reason the cowboys are called 'americas team.' They haven't won a playoff game in TEN YEARS, get tons of attention and are way over rated. Their players are all overpaid and unlikeable. The cowboys were america's team about 10-15 years ago when their team was full of average joes.
-
Which stretches across the southern United States. It is heavily Baptist. The thing about the hole in the roof at Texas Stadium was a joke. The hole was there because they couldn't afford a retractable roof.
-
the hole in the roof is not a joke... believe me--Jerry Jones spent a billion dollars on a new stadium and left the hole in the roof. To say they can't afford a retractable roof is a complete and total joke in and of itself.
-
The Cowboys were called America's Team because the folks at NFL films who came up with the name noticed that a large contingent of Cowboys fans showed up at every venue across the country. This was back when Roger Staubach was the quarterback. I agree that they're not as popular as they were back then and yet they are still considered one of the tow or three most valuable sports franchises in the world along with the New York Yankees and the Arsenal (?) soccer club in England.
-
The new stadium that Jerry Jones built is called Cowboy Stadium and it does have a retractable roof, but not so God could look down from heaven. That's just silly, man. It has a retractable roof for the same reason other stadiums do, to let in good weather and negate bad weather.

You must be a cowboys fan. They haven't won a playoff game in ten years yet every season the pundits continue to pick them as an elite team... finally people are realizing that they are FAR from an elite team. And you may be too young to realize it, but it was NOT the fans across the country and the storied history--if that was the criteria, the green bay packers would be america's team--especially because they are the only vestige left of the old days of the NFL--a small town with the team owned by the people of green bay. The packers are historic, lambeau field is historic, you cannot get a seat in an espnzone anywhere in the country for a packers game, every packers game (even through the bad years) has been sold out for 60 years, and there is a 30 year waiting list to get tickets. they won the first two superbowls the superbowl trophy is named after lombardi--the greatest coach in footballk's history... bart star widely considered the best quarterback in history. add the legend of the ice bowl. coldhardfootballfacts.com did their homework and came to the conclusion that the packers are the most storied franshise in foootball's history.The cowboys got the title of 'america's team' because of the era where they had relatable players that were essentially normal guys who played football... people related to the players--these days, you cannot relate to the players. Lots of teams travel well.

Will FNL suffer the same fate as AD? Simply too good for the masses? Sounds elitist, I know, but it's hard to argue. This show is so realistic and has had so many Emmy performances ignored. How good was the woman who played Smash's mother? Sure, we've seen the heavy, angry black woman before. But not with her realism. Not with that emotion. And Coach Taylor? Who doesn't love that guy? And yes, it helps that all of the women are absurdly attractive.
-
you're trying to tell me you've NEVER heard of the opening being so god could watch? they reference it all the time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that texans truly believe that the cowboys are gods favorite team, or even that god likes football, but its not just a joke... if it was a joke, it would be dead now because at this point, to keep saying the 'god can see' thing would be beating a dead horse thats been dead for at least ten years.
-
I always assumed it was a joke. I can't imagine anyone would actually believe there was a hole in the roof Texas Stadium so God could see the game. If that were true then churches in Texas wouldn't have roofs.
-
was nominated for and won at the Emmys. Critics (as far as I've seen) universally love FNL, so I don't understand why it's not recognized even by the elite Hollywood circles. It really is one of the best shows on TV. I don't know if the masses are intimidated by it or what, but as good as the writing and acting and filming are, it's not at all pretentious to me.
Good news is that they already have a deal for a fifth season. Thank god for DirecTV - NBC would've cancelled it after the second. -
Of maybe Tami is. They feel like people who live down the street. And I love that Riggins is a dumbass. Most shows would make the rebel "wise beyond his years" or some cliche like that, instead of the kind of guy who would suddenly buy a longhorn steer with his brother just because it'd look kick-ass in front of their new mechanic shop.
-
And quite frankly, the finest thing ever put on television, period.
-
whoopsee.
-
It was a lot of fun, I got paid to eat BBQ and watch football.
When I returned to my regular job . I told the people that asked, I vactioned in Dillon Texas! -
I'd watch this show more often if they put the camera on a tripod now and then.
-
at least for me.
-
I guess you missed my reply in the Dollhouse TB about that Texas question. Relgion in Texas is like pretty much everywhere else, its observed more in the breech then in the fact. Everybody goes on Sunday but it s more of social thing and because your family did/does it. Other then that its not a big deal.

It's on FOX too! http://www.fox.com/fod/play.php?sh=twentyfour

On top of the 13 they're getting now.
-
It's just not that entertaining.
-
Can't wait.
-
How can we scoop more stories than supposedly this guy who's so inside.
-
Y'know, the show that ABC had a series finale for, then said 'psych!'

I've ever seen on AICN. Best depiction of teenage life on TV EVER, and I'm saying that as a Buffy fan. In a just world this would be loaded down with every award going. And Jesse Plemons would star in The Adventures of Young Jason Bourne.
-
what another great episode.
-
and kyle chandler still can inspire goosebumps. just an amazing show.
-
The actress who played Smash's mom was simply astonishing. The scene last season where coach went the their house to tell them Smash got into A & M? When he leaves and you can hear them celebrating behind the shut door? Simply marvelous television.
