Televisionary Reviews Season 4 of Friday Night Lights

Posted by Kaitlin with No Comments

Earlier this week, I finished watching Season Four ofFriday Night Lights and, wiping away the manly tears that fell from my eyes, I’m already anxiously awaiting the start of the fifth and final season this fall.

Over the course of the summer, my wife and I have gone back and watched all four seasons of Friday Night Lights and fallen in love with this remarkable and heartfelt drama series, which in its fourth season inverted its premise to present even more complications for the central couple of Eric and Tami Taylor (Emmy Award nominees Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton), who found themselves under attack from a number of directions at once. From the school board, from the townspeople, from parents, from those who would see them fail rather than triumph.

Teen Pregnancy Storyline Hits Home for Washington Post Writer

Posted by Kaitlin with No Comments

With those tearful words, Becky Sproles, a 10th-grader in fictional Dillon, Tex., confided her predicament to her friend Tim Riggins in a recent episode of the NBC series “Friday Night Lights.”

My visceral memory of the fear and vulnerability of teen pregnancy isn’t my only connection with Becky’s story. Dillon is based on the dusty West Texas boom-and-bust oil town of Odessa, where, 15 years old and pregnant, I moved with my new husband in 1957.

As chronicled by H.G. “Buzz” Bissinger in his 1990 bestseller “Friday Night Lights,” life in Odessa revolves around football at Permian High (go, Mojo!), the school from which my three children graduated.
