[T]o tag "FNL" as a "football show" is like saying John Ford's "Stagecoach" is about bandits and Indians running amok in the old West. The vast majority of "FNL" hinges on the writers' ability to find compelling stories within the stuff of life in a small Texas town. Like everything else about the show, even the town of Dillon was finely drawn as a vibrant, complex character -- neither dirt poor nor oil flush, neither a redneck wasteland nor an enlightened utopia.

Although best known for his westerns, such as the landmark Stagecoach (1939), Ford worked in many other genres through his long career. Early in the 1930s, he led Fox's top comedy star, Will Rogers, through Doctor Bull (1933), Judge Priest (1934) and Steamboat 'Round the Bend (1935). Ford ... set a number of his films in his parents' native Ireland. The Informer (1935), a drama of the Irish rebellion, won him the first of four Academy Awards for his direction. He later revisited the Irish landscape with The Quiet Man (1952). Ford also dealt with American history in The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936), Young Mr. Lincoln (1939), Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) and The Grapes of Wrath (1940).
