I think this show is terrific. I have no understanding whatsoever of american football (being an Australian female) yet this show, particularly with its documentary style camera work, is an inspiring cultural insight into how the sport interacts with the church and family life in this part of the world. Thoroughly intriguing and heartfelt. Mind you, after watching both seasons back to back, I still dont know anything about american football. Thats the beauty of it I suppose; this show is about so much more than football.

this show is amazingly underated and it would be a shame for it to not come back up and be displayed at its full potential. I LOVE foootball and this show.

I'm interested to see how this plays out. At first glance, it doesn't seem to scream successful ratings booster, but who knows. This show is incredible. The acting is first rate - especially Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton - some of the best portrayals of effective parenting on TV! I would love for it to gain more of an audience. If you are looking for a show to watch on DVD, pick up this one. You will fall in love with it... maybe for Riggins alone!

I disagree with you about the camera work, which I really like, but I completely agree with you on the timeslot issue. I don't know how much it will help the show by being on DirectTV first, but I think showing it in January, after football season, and in a better timeslot would go a LONG way towards making this show a hit.

Yes, some part are boring and I don't like the camera work but I like the overall theme of the show. I'm not even a football follower. That's saying a lot. :)

I'm Canadian so I will have to wait for 2009 on NBC to watch it.

Jason: That's the kind of quality show that should get a better time slot/day. When they start in January on NBC, it may help them because the high school season will be over.
