Man I love this show. Almost done with season 1.
Moved to Austin when they were filming the first season so would so Kyle Chandler around but just was busy at the time and never watched the show.
What I like about it are many things.
1) Acting isn’t perfect but I really like ALL the characters so I’m ok with it not being perfect.
2) It was made for TV so traditionally 15 years ago it was more wholesome and not pushing LGPDQ BS and angling politic at every opportunity.
3) In 2005 cell phones and computers we had them obviously but not to near the degree they are attached to our arms now. So not part of the show really at all which is nice.
4) Very and wholesome family oriented and God Fearing people which give the show a baseline for sanity purposes.
5) I love Freaking Football and Beautiful women.

Thats all Folks. Check it out if haven’t, and definitely worth a rewatch if it’s been a while.

Such a great show

It’s in that second tier for sure of elite TV shows

Not as good as Sopranos/Wire/Breaking Bad type but better than 99% of everything else

Great show and highly rewatchable. It’s such a “comfy” show to relax and watch 2-3 episodes at once on an afternoon for all the reasons you already described. the second season kind of jumps the shark because of the writers’ strike that was going on at the time but the rest of the seasons are solid. I think season 1 is still my favorite.

My wife would have left me in about 2 seconds if Riggins had walked through our front door while we were watching it.

Man I am officially a Kyle Chandler fan and enjoy him in everything he has been it. Game Night was great in his role too.
Anyway I read he won a Lead Qctor Emmy in FNL’s final season too so all the good acting for him in the show finally got noticed(or awarded).

He has this calmness to his voice, not a very pronounced Georgia accent but something about it makes you feel warm, like everything’s gonna be ok, let’s get through this and keep calm

1) Everyone needs a friend like Buddy and a girl like Lyla.

2) Usually, I skip through the intro cast music or tune but couldn’t on this show. It gave me the chills every time it came on.

3) This show takes me back to the mid 2000s when I was carefree, playing high school football, and the world wasn’t as messed up as it is now.

FYI, Streets plays one of the main characters, Tucker, in “Heart of Dixie” (chick show but good nonetheless)

Explosions in the sky- they’re my favorite band. Everything they do is great. They did the soundtrack for the movie as well. Check them out
