LOST!

One of the best shows on television is back! Lost returns to ABC for its fifth season starting Wednesday, January 21st. I can't wait to see wear this season takes us!

One of the reasons I love this show so much is the roller coaster ride it has been. Each season has gone in completely different (and usually unexpected) directions. There are often more questions than answers, there are theories that seem utterly impossible that make more sense as you delve deeper into the story, and in one instant everything changes completely. I don't think there is any other show that has shocked me more often with where the story leads you. No character is safe but that doesn't mean you won't see them again as the story goes on, especially with the use of flashbacks and now flash-forwards.

There is no easy way to summarize this show and what has happened so far. The best is to start viewing the previous seasons on DVD and experience it for yourself. For those of us who have been watching from the start, it is almost hard to remember the simplicity we thought we were getting into when the show premiered. It is far more complex than just a bunch of people who's plane crashes onto an island. But that is how it all begins.

Anyway, it is never too late to get Lost! Trust me when I say that once you start watching you will not want to miss an episode! Wednesdays are even better now that this show is on the schedule again!

The Return of Friday Night Lights to NBC

I am overjoyed that the third season of Friday Night Lights is now airing on the NBC Friday night line up at 9pm ET. This season has already aired on Direct TV and this is the first time it will be airing on NBC for everyone to be able to enjoy.

Friday Night Lights is one of those rare quality shows on TV right now. It has amazing acting, people dealing with realistic problems in realistic ways (with a small exception made for the Landry storyline in Season 2), an ensemble of characters that you actually care about, and the best part is that you don't have to love football to love this show. There is true heart involved in each storyline.

I am not alone in my opinion that Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton portray one of the best married couples to grace the screen. The fact that they have not been nominated for any awards for their performances it truly a tragedy. It only reflects how awards and nominations do not always go to the most deserving shows or actors. There are moments where each character get to shine throughout the two seasons that I have seen so far. The entire cast is excellent.

At first, I was hesitant to watch this show because I am not the biggest fan of watching football. So I rented the first season when it was released on DVD. By disc two I went out and bought the whole set to own. I was hooked!

This show has been struggling in the ratings and I do not think that airing it when the majority of its target audience will be out on a Friday night is helping. I can only hope that more people will be watching the show this time around. I would love to get a fourth season!

Now that the third season is starting to air on NBC, I highly recommend renting the first and second season of this excellent show to introduce yourself to these characters in Dillon, Texas. My guess is that you will be rooting for the Panthers in no time!

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose!!!!
