Friday Night Lights, is that it?

THERE ARE NO SPOILERS IF YOU ARE CAUGHT UP ON FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
(No need to worry Kent and Dana)

Friday Night Lights (FNL) was one of those shows that my husband and I started late because we were convinced by friends that it was a great show. This is how we come across a lot of shows we watch/watched (Lost, SYTYCD, Gossip Girl, Mad Men, Glee, etc.). We loved season 1 and 2 of FNL but I must admit it has been slowly going downhill ever since. Friday Night Lights wanted to try to “keep it real” and when the characters graduated they moved on much like in real life. They didn’t have all the characters go to a local community college or follow them all to a far away college. We had to say good bye to our favorite characters and welcome in new ones. In theory this is a great idea, I know we always make fun of the shows that have all the prime characters go to a local college. However for ME this idea didn’t pan out well. The reason why most of us love shows is because we get attached to characters and their story lines…we want to see what happens to them! I digress, last season on FNL we had a few of the prime characters left and so it was able to keep my attention. The story lines weren’t great bc we had to settle for new love interests (relationships and activities). But this season we have said goodbye to ALL of our first group of high school students, accept Julie (whom we have followed to college where she is sleeping with her professor- that is an entirely different soap box).

So now that I have caught you up…This is the last season of Friday Night Lights and I ask Friday Night Lights, is that it? Have we seen the last of all our favorite characters? I know you pride yourself on being “real” but is this really how you are going out? We didn’t even get a proper goodbye for our boy Landry. What about Matt, was him driving back to college the last we will see of him? Lyla getting on the bus leaving Tim? Tim in Jail? SERIOUSLY is this it? I have been SOOOO disappointed with the last couple seasons of FNL but I thought for sure the final season would be good.

Here is what I need to make me happy:

Julie to freakin wake up and stop sleeping with her professor
Matt and Julie get back together
Tim to get out of JAIL and to go find Lyla
Landry to run into to Tyra at college and the sparks immediately fly again
I would also like updates on Smash and Jason
I might be harsh but I don’t care about Luke, Jess, Becky. I care a little about Vince.
This doesn’t seem like to much to ask for, does it? :)

So FNL, what’s it going to be? Are you going to try to keep it “real” until the very end or are you going to try to please your viewers?

90210:

Shannen Doherty is BACK!!!! It's official Shannen will be back on 90210 in the fall. This is great news for 90210 fans even if you hate Brenda you want her around...you love to hate her! I wonder if Brenda & Kelly will have any crazy encounters. Now this will definitely be on my fall schedule!

Grey's Anatomy Denny's Back??

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is returning to Grey's Anatomy for the season premiere in the fall (September 25). Some hope that his return means they are killing off Izzie and he will whisk her away (due to her earlier comments) BUT producer of the show says that is not the case, Izzie will not be leaving the show. The most probable story line is some sort of dream sequence or flash back sequence that would involve Denny. I think that since Izzie was given the Clinic dedicated to Denny in the series finale this might open some "Denny" windows plus you know they can't keep Izzie and Alex together :( I wish they would.

Emmy's:

Emmy list was announced on Thursday morning and there wasn't too many surprises...the biggest surprise might be that Grey's Anatomy wasn't nominated for Best Drama Series, some think Katherine Heigl's comments might have caused the show to be over looked. It should also be noted that three dances from last years "So You Think You Can Dance" are up for Emmy's:

1. Hummingbird & the Butterfly: Wade Robson (one of the best dances on the show to date)

2. Transformers / “Fuego” - Shane Sparks (this was not my favorite of his dances)

3. Table / “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” - Mandy Moore (Great Dance)

My Boys

So You Think You Can Dance: We are down to 8 and this will probably be the hardest cut yet the obvious choices are Comfort and Mark to leave us this week but you never know and I really love 6 of the people left so it is so hard to pick (my 6 are: Joshua, Chelsie, Katee, Twitch, Courtney & Mark).
