Maybe it's just me, but been there, done that
First, the network mismanaged the marketing of the show, making it seem like it was just about football. Then they screw around with the schedule, which is the reason why major network TV is dying.
I did watch a couple of episodes. Likely it's a personal problem, but I felt I'd lived that life (growing up in a smallish town at a school obsessed with football). While the characters were appealing, I couldn't get into it. I could tell it was one of those shows you had to commit to and I just couldn't quite do it.
I would never have given this show a second chance without Heather's rabid devotion to it. I came to appreciate Battlestar through Heather and usually agree with her. So I might love FNL if I really, really gave it a chance, but I can't. Don't make me.
Sorry, Heather. Lots of great shows have died. It's sad, but we must pull ourselves together and move on.
