The one where Street moves to NY was probably my favorite episode ever, although that wasn't last night's show. Last night was the one when JD McCoy's dad kicks his ass in the parking lot, Tyra's mom gives her the "you're gonna make it out of Dillon" speech, and Riggins tells Lyla he loves her. It was like a cathartic whirlwind for all my favorite characters. Plus Saracen caught a TD. Awesome episode.

The "guilty pleasure" part wasn't the fact that I watch FNL, it's the fact that I admitted to crying while watching it.

PS- Coach's wife is so hot. Especially now that she's the Principal.

LOL

They do have some amazing women on that show. Minka Kelly (Lyla), Adrianne Palicki (Tyra), and Connie Britton (coach's wife). And if you like the pedophile route Aimee Teegarden is really coming into her own.

Adrianne Palicki:

Connie Britton:

DirecTV picked it back up. I can't believe more people don't watch it, you won't find better acting anywhere on the small screen.

Sweet deal. I am pysched for that!

Truer words...truer words.

Finest set of characters also. Just an amazing show. I am baffled why A) no ones watches(actually I'm not...I suspect most people think it is just a football show. It isn't any more than The Office is a show about paper) and B) why it gets zero rspect come awards time. It is far and away better than just about any other network show. Better in the way the Sopranos and The Wire were better.

Well, Tyra is just absurdly hot. And who doesn't love Lyla Garrity. I mean come on. Although I see from the link you posted they will be on next season to wrap up their characters because they won't be continuing with the show. That's a bummer.

But as long as Principal Taylor is around, I'm good. I guess when you've got a show starring "high school" kids, there's bound to be some turnover in cast after a few years.

FYI Aimee Teegarden turns 20 this year, so it's not out of bounds to think she's hot.

Depends. The rule as it stands is half your age plus 7.

"The half-your-age-plus-seven rule is a mathematical guide to judge whether the age difference in an intimate relationship is socially acceptable. Mathematically speaking, the rule is (Minimum Age) = (Age of the Older Individual) / 2 + 7."

As for the thread topic. Will and Grace, That Vice Show on Spike, and Anime. Sex and the City from time to time as well.

I should have known, they always play younger characters.

I'm watching Bully Beatdown on MTV right now and Michael Westbrook is on it. lol.

saden1 · 03-29-2009, 02:35 PM

You mean it? Don't play with me, I thought I was a goner when I saw that someone listed Hannah Montana.

FNL is a really good show.

But best show on TV right now? I'd put Breaking Bad as tops.

SmootSmack · 03-30-2009, 07:18 AM

House Hunters!

I also really like the Investigation Discovery shows (Deranged, Life of a Crime, 48 hours, etc)

I have a new respect for you boys! I had NO concept we had such a large following of the.........alternative lifestyles community on the WP!

GMScud · 03-30-2009, 11:33 AM

I watched the Sex and the City movie with my girlfriend last night. Every minute of it. Ugh.

I had to take my lumps- she patiently let me flip back and forth between golf and the NCAA tourney for 5 straight hours yesterday.
