Friday Night Lights is the acclaimed NBC drama about the Dillon Panthers, a high school football team in Dillon, Texas. The series stars Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton as Eric and Tammy Taylor, a couple who move to Dillon after Eric is offered the head coach position for the Panthers. The move sparks great drama for their family, with Eric under a lot of pressure in the football-centric small town, Tammy struggling to find her place in the town, and their daughter Julie (played by Aimee Teegarden) adjusting to her new life at Dillon high school. The talented young players for the Dillon Panthers love football and live to play the game, but the stress of playing the game in a town that demands victory is sometimes too much for the young high school students. Friday Night Lights is filled with compelling characters, brilliantly portrayed by the large cast. Zach Gilford plays the unlikely hero Matt Saracen, an artist and the Panther's back-up quarterback Saracen is forced into the spotlight after their man QB is injured, and Coach Taylor has to turn him into a star player fast or the team risks defeat. Friday Night Lights is a tense, engaging series, featuring a realistic, tasteful look at Middle America and the unsung heroes of small towns.MORE
