Time has brought change.....indeed!

It's been too long. I'm writing this after watching the messiah, if it's not Obama, lose the Super Bowl. Either way, I was compelled to write for many other reasons. The most important is the three episodes of the third season of 'Friday Night Lights' that I just finished watching.

WOW! I can honestly say that anyone who watches this show and doesn't agree that it's one of the best dramas on TV has no business writing for the public to read! The acting, the storytelling, the reality....this show is incredible! It makes me laugh, smile, cry, and cringe at the same time. It is a real piece of middle America. It is life...REAL life, on film yet in the flesh. It is moving! It is moving beyond high budget film and popular drama! I'm amazed that this show has fallen from the ranks. I am glad...SO glad...that it is still on television, but amazed that it has somehow lost critical and fan acclaim.

Lost, The Office, Heroes, Battlestar Gallactica, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock...they are all great shows. Most of them have extraordinary writers. None of them come close to Friday Night Lights in pure quality. No, I was not a jock in high school. It doesn't matter. You will relate. You will love it. You will BELIEVE these people are real! It's the best acting on weekly prime time TV, BY FAR!! I would not mislead you. Watch the damn show! Please! Do it now! It's on www.nbc.com in full episode format. You won't regret it!

On another note, there are many exciting things in the near future. I will have full details by the end of the week. Know this though....a monthly column in Sauce Magazine (www.saucemagazine.com) is right around the corner. A huge project is coming up as well.....one that will have a major impact on the greatest street in St. Louis. Until then...enjoy the show and do it with a great glass of wine!
