"Friday Night Lights"
Many would argue this was television's finest sports program ever, and
those very folks probably stopped reading once I opened with "The White Shadow." Good riddance, I
say! However, "Lights" sure is/was a
helluva program, and its bizarre trajectory as far ... more as when it aired --
jumping nights and networks -- and the fervent fan base that followed
it is a testament to its quality. High school football's no joke in Texas, and
producers Brian Grazer and Peter Berg knew that going in. And going out.
