Friday Night Lights... the show that teaches you that there's more to life than football. Coach Eric Taylor never left you disappointed with the advice he gave to the boys; and the boys never left you disappointed by making the coach proud. This show is more than just a show about football... it's about strength, diversity, forgiveness, love, and determination.
