If you’re a big fan of reality TV—you know, shows that provide living, breathing proof of the decline of civilization—stop reading.
If, on the other hand, you appreciate quality television and don’t want to be subjected to another Guess How Much Money Is In My Pocket or Dance With Attractive People We Found Working At Denny’s, you owe it to yourself to check out Friday Night Lights.
Sure, the programming geniuses have it scheduled at one of the worst possible times—“Hey, let’s put a show about high school kids on at exactly the time high school kids won’t be around to watch it!”—but we’ve got TiVO and DVR and VHS so there’s really no excuse.
As we speak the brain wizards at NBC are planning to cancel Friday Night Lights. This is a move tantamount to buying a successful fantasy sports site then replacing everything that made it great with cheaper, lesser talent; however, unlike that shrewd business move you can actually do something that might prevent this travesty. Sign this petition and maybe, just maybe, we’ll be spared another night of idiots hugging Howie Mandel and passing up six figures for a one-in-72 shot at a million dollars.
Please. Because if we don’t stop them now, they may never be stopped.
