• Review Quotes

  • "Lord, is Friday Night Lights good. In fact, if the season is anything like the pilot, this new drama about high school football could be great - and not just television great, but great in the way of a poem or painting. A fiercely controlled and inventive work of art." —Virginia Heffernan New York TimesNY Times: Losing Isn't an Option (October 3, 2006)

  • "[A] rewardingly seasoned new drama series that's practically indistinguishable from the acclaimed feature film, except that it's better." —Diane Werts, NewsdayNewsday: Where High School Football is Life (October 3, 2006)
