“FNL” just looks different from anything else on TV today. That alone makes it deserving of a few more episodes.
Itâs shot so beautifully, that “FNLâs” fans have looked past the odd story twists of this season.
The show is America.
“FNL” deserves at least a few of our futile key strokes, as a symbolic goal-line stand against cancellation. Websites like bestweekever.com, are mounting a Joe Montana-like two-minute drill to save the show.
If “The Last Picture Show” were shot in color, set in the 21st century and revolved around a football team, itâd be “FNL.”
If you donât get that reasoning, itâs this: “FNL” captures the quiet desperation of small-town America without talking down to our rural neighbors.
As flawed as philandering car salesman Buddy Garrity, booze hound Tim Riggins or confused born again Lyla Garrity might be, their characters are skillfully crafted to reveal an innerâdignity among them all.

Will Riggins or Jason Street ever get back with Lyla? Will the Panthers get back to Texas Stadium to defend their state title?
We need to ask NBC: Would a six-show order kill anyone?
Letâs just see if the Panthers make the playoffs or if coach Eric Taylor gets suspended for punching out that douche bag real estate dude who was hitting on the beautifully MILF-y Connie Britton.
Weâll even suggest this script: Put the Dillon Panthers into the playoffs (so Smash can get back in action) and have them play a school that made a mid-season coaching change, hiring Bill “The Tennessee Tyrant” MacGregor.
As you might recall, our imperfect coach Taylor and old Buddy knifed MacGregor in the back to get Eric his old job back at Dillon when the TMU gig didnât work out.
Like it? It has a Ray “Voo Doo” Tatum feel to it doesnât it?
