Friday Night Lights (2006-2011)

####Starring: Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton, Aimee Teegarden

Friday Night Lights is an American drama television series based around a high school football team situated in Texas. It was developed by Peter Berg, and executive produced by Brian Grazer, David Nevins, Sarah Aubrey, and Jason Katims, based on the book and film of the same name. The series takes place in the fictional town of Dillon: a small, close-knit community in rural Texas. Particular focus is given to team coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) and his family, Tami and Julie. The show uses this small town backdrop to address many issues facing contemporary American culture, including family values, child development, life lessons, school funding, racism, drugs, abortion and lack of economic opportunities.

The first season of this show has 22 episodes, 15 for season two, and 13 for all subsequent seasons.

We are recommending that for the first week we will focus only on season 1, as it is by far the largest. For week 2, we recommend going through season 2 and starting season 3. Week 3, we will finish season 3 and start season 4. For the final week, we recommend finishing the series.

Please avoid spoiling things that happen after our recommended viewing times, we know it's hard, but please try to be courteous. Save your thoughts on the ending until the final post.

After we watch the show, we will post which episodes we think are the most important of the season.

Alright guys, let's get going! The nominations last one whole month, so submit your TV show and don't forget to upvote the other shows you want to see (downvotes don't count)! On the first of the month, we will make two posts showcasing our winners, and you can discuss the shows then!

More information can be found here!

Nomination Etiquette

• TV shows must be available to the general public via something other than live television. (Must have home, internet, or some other form of release - Sorry that means no 5:00 News!)

• Nomination posts must contain a link to the shows Wikipedia page.

• Please include a brief synopsis of the TV show. No spoilers! (Spoilers may come in the discussion threads, though!)

• Please check the list of past winners before posting, to ensure that your show has never been chosen. Any show that has already been discussed will be removed. Obviously we will have no issues with this rule this month! :D

Any nomination not following these guidelines will be removed.

Alright guys, the time has come. /r/TelevisionClub can begin.

What is /r/TelevisionClub, you ask? It is everything a TV show lover can ask for! Every month we will be picking two TV shows to watch and discuss, and by we I mean EVERYONE! That's right, we will let anyone* submit their favorite TV show(s), and the two shows with the most upvotes (downvotes will have no affect on the score!) will be our programs of choice.

As the month goes on, you can choose which show to watch, or you could watch both if you would like, then just come on back to this subreddit and give your thoughts! You can discuss/review each episode, discuss/review each season, discuss/review the entire show, or whatever else comes to mind!

Submissions will be restricted to mods only, to keep the subreddit more organized. We will have three posts at the beginning of the month, one for nominations for the next month, one for show #1 and one for show #2.

January will not have a TV show to discuss, our nominations will begin this month, and next month will feature the first TV show. The nomination thread can be found here.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns, either post below or message the mods, and we will get back to you as soon as we can! :D
