Friday Night Lights (TV series): Difference between revisions

* [[Friday Night Death Slot]]: Survived surprisingly long there, appropriately for the title. It helped that NBC timed the episodes so as not to coincide with high school football season.

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Subverted. Coach Taylor throws a drunk and [[Heroic BSOD]]-ing Matt Saracen under a cold shower in season two and castigates him for being selfish, but then realizes how hurt the kid really is.

* [[Gretzky Has the Ball]]: Like anyone watching cares about the football, anyway.

* [[Happily Married]]: Eric and Tami. Yes, they have their fights (like most real couples), but it's obvious how much they truly love, care for, and support each other. In some ways, it's the centerpiece of the show, as both Eric and Tami serve as moral compasses for the other characters and share the role of [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Person]]

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: An unusual non-death variant in season 4. {{spoiler|Tim Riggins takes all of the blame for the chop shop he ran with Billy, going to prison so that Billy can be a father to his child.}}

** [[Veronica Mars|Wallace's absentee dad]] is [[The Wire|Wallace's]] absentee dad.

* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Carlotta.
