A couple of years ago I taped the Friday Night Lights pilot when it was very first on. I think I was still getting The Sacramento Bee then and it was Rick Kushman's recommendation that made me do it. I remember thinking that it looked fantastic, but that there was no way I could watch it. It was on at a time when I wasn't home, and I thought that I would put off watching episodes because they would be so heart wrenching and then I would have several episodes at a time and there's no way I could watch very many of them at a stretch, which is also why I thought watching it on DVD would be a problem.
I've been rewatching my way through the first seasons of both The O.C. and One Tree Hill on Hulu as I lift weights, but they've now reached the end of seasons one and haven't started posting seasons two. I was browsing Hulu to see what else I could watch, and discovered that they have every episode of Friday Night Lights. (There are other shows I'd like to watch but am not willing to start in the middle of.) So I watched the pilot again. It's so good. And I wasn't sure if I could watch more of it. In fact, I've been putting off watching it. Instead, I've seen a couple of episodes of The Daily Show, and a few episodes of Arrested Development (even though I recently finished rewatching all the way through all three seasons for the second time in less than a year). Today, though, I decided to brave the second episode. It's so good. And I'm not sure if I can watch more of it.
