Friday Night Lights
built 241 days ago
On tonight's Friday Night Lights, Jason Street (Scott Porter) needs to get a new transmission for car that would set him back $4000. Seeing as he only has $8000 to his name, he's in dire straits. Buddy Garrity (Brad Leland) continues to act as the town benefactor and offers him a job at the dealership. The other salespeople aren't happy about adding Jason to their team because they are already overstaffed and he'll be encroaching on their commissions. He inadvertently steps on the toes of all the other salespeople, including bitchy blond who steals his first sale. (Turns out that bitchy blond pulled the wool over his eyes to get him to give up the sale.) Street vindicates himself by convincing the perennial Looky Lou to buy his dream car.

A meeting between the producers of "Friday Night Lights" and Austin City Manager Toby Futrell is scheduled for Feb. 26. Producers for the show, which shoots around Central Texas, have been hinting that they might move production to New Mexico or Louisiana because of the tax breaks and incentives being offered there.

What happens around the games is the best part of Friday Night Lights. Possibly in the interest of staying away from the controversy and keeping in the tradition of the pulse-pounding, edge-of-your-seat sports thriller, this is the part that eventually fades into the background. Early in the season, Boobie Miles gets a very unfortunate dose of reality with a crucial leg injury. He doesn't learn the lesson and as he pushes himself to get back to playing before he's ready. Miles jeopardizes his entire career. Derek Luke, one of the most impressive young actors of the past few years, is fantastic here.
