    Holy crap, I thought I was being clever. Nice job! Obviously you're a fan of the show.

    Send me and email with your address and we'll send out your prize.

    Can you name the other cast member who was in the movie and series?
  • DwDunphy · 1 year ago
    Just one problem: in one shot, both the contest and incentive to watch are gone.

    Let's try this: IF YOU DON'T WATCH THIS SHOW, NBC WILL RUN EPISODES OF AMERICAN GLADIATORS AND DEAL OR NO DEAL UNTIL THE END OF TIME!

    There. That oughta do it.

    one of my favorite new shows, period. I bought the first season on DVD because at 20 bucks, nothing to lose...

    I'm hoping that this isnt going to be a promising show that will fall to the ongoing strike....they've worked hard to build up momentum and audience, and if it all gets derailed by this strike, I am going to be one po'd FNL fan.

    Beautiful idea!
  • Eric S. · 1 year ago
    Thanks, I'm actually a relatively new fan. I've caught most of this season, but only a few from last year so the DVD set will let me catch up. I'll send my info. Thanks again.

    As for the other cast member, I guess I haven't seen enough of the series to recognize them from the movie.

    Actually, there were TWO more, besides C.B. Brad Leland was in the movie, and so was the actress (Katherine something, from Austin) who plays Street's mom in the series.
    All 3 were in one scene in the movie, at a dinner gathering prior to the season. Seems Peter Berg is a loyal guy ...
  • Jumpcutts · 1 year ago
    Oh, and I don't want a prize. I've SEEN the show. I LOVE the show, possibly worship it (it's pretty easy). I'd rather someone who hasn't seen it yet get the DVDs. I have them.

    I know all those answers but I'm not going to answer because I've already bought two copies of the dvd set, one for me and one as a gift. I just want to thank you for a wonderful commentary on the best show on television. The Feb 1st episode was exceptional even by Friday Night Lights standards.
  • Malchus · 1 year ago
    Yes, this past Friday's episode was outstanding. I am really looking forward to this week's show!

    1. Name at least one of the cast members who appeared both in the 2004 film and the television series.

    Connie Britton & Brad Leland

    2. What is the name of the song and its artist that played over the final montage in the last episode of season 1.

    Devil Town - Tony Luca

    3. Who is Ray “Voodoo” Tatum?

    A replacement quarterback recruited by Buddy Garrity

    4. How does Scott Porter fit in to Jon Cummings “Best Movie Music Moment of 2007?”

    Scott appeared in the music video for Pop! in the movie Music & Lyrics.

    Points to you for naming Brad Leland and that Voodoo was recruited by Buddy Garrity. How great is Leland in that role, huh? One week he's a schmuck, the next week the most sensitive guy in the show. What they've done with his character this season has been great and Leland has been a joy to watch.
  • Malchus · 1 year ago
    Points to you for naming Brad Leland and using Buddy Garrity's name in the voodoo answer. How great has Leland been this season, huh?
  • Jennifer · 1 year ago
    I love Leland! I guess I'll just have to go out and buy season 1. LOL. Great contest -- I hope that more people actually START watching this great show!

    I have a good feeling that NBC will renew it for a third season. It has done pretty well on Friday nights with their target audience. Plus, I hear it's a relatively cheap show (by today's standards). With the writer's strike close to ending, I suppose we'll find out sooner than later.
  • Jennifer · 1 year ago
    If NBC doesn't renew this show I might have to take to my bed for an extended amount of time. I want to know NOW! I've also heard that it's fairly inexpensive to produce. I want to know why they didn't take advantage of the fact that they still have new episodes and promote the heck out of it this past month!

    1. Connie Britton
    2.Devil Town - Tony Luca
    3. The quarterback who Matt beat out to start in season 1
    4. He was part of Hugh Grants old duo in "Music and Lyrics"

    I wish NBC would promote this show using your description. FNL is an amazing show, one that I wish people would watch and give it a chance. Thanks for posting such a fantastic post about the show.
  • Malchus · 1 year ago
    Be sure to forward this write up to them! :) Thanks for reading.

    Thank you for this excellent article. While season 2 hasn't been as exemplary as season 1, it is still an excellent show, and the most recent episode (2.14 Leave No One Behind) is as good as it gets on TV. I have purchased the season 1 DVDs and am forcing people I know to watch the show. They don't know what they are missing until they see it.

    Every time I hear an Explosions in the Sky song in the background of this show, I rejoice inside, because I'm delighted to know the band is pulling in a few well-earned bucks. I'll be reviewing their concert in March - if you haven't already made plans to see them, do so right now. They're absolutely incredible live.
  • Cindy · 1 year ago
    Have these questions been correctly answered?
  • Cindy · 1 year ago
    I just realized (duh) many times over they've been answered. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person crazy about this show! It makes me laugh and cry every week. I love this show so much that if it gets canceled I will sink into depression!
  • JonCummings · 1 year ago
    Wow! I just finally read this post, and was pleased to discover it's all about me...and my favorite show. I try (though I often fail) not to watch too much network TV, but there are few things these days that give me goosebumps like seeing a new episode of FNL pop up on the TiVo. Connie Britton, in particular, is always wonderful--but then, I've been a fan of hers since Spin City and The Brothers McMullen. I feel so bad for Smash--dumped by TMU (whatever that is) for sucker-punching that racist guy...I sure hope he finds a good school.

    3. relocated after katrina, this new orleans quarterback takes matt saracen's place until his attitude convinces coach to get rid of him.
    4. i have no idea and i already own season one, just showing my support and ENDLESS LOVE for friday night lights!
