Ramifications

Dear NBC,

It's been awhile since you broke our hearts by cancelling Friday Night Lights, and we've survived.  But I am now coming to realize the gravity of your offense.  Once a preview of John Carter is forced upon you because you can't find the remote to fast-forward, you can't unwatch.  You just bow your head and wonder how it could be.  What HAVE YOU DONE by not keeping Tim Riggins employed drinking beer in a flannel shirt. The TV is now plastered with commercials of him in some caveman bondage get-up, promoting this unwatchable fantasy land movie where he fights Star Wars-reject alien things.  And it's Disney.  Tim.  SERIOUSLY?   Disney bondage caveman on another planet?  I mean it's cool that he doesn't wear a shirt.  Or pants.  But then again not really.  Not like this.  I'm not angry.  I'm disappointed.  

And my lady Tammy Taylor?  She's on some new show that I don't watch playing a psycho lady -- a role far from the BFF mom role model that I need her to be.   She was teaching me how to talk to teenage daughters.  I needed her for 14 more years.  She was also teaching me how to talk to hot football coach husbands.  Reading this today just made me miss her more.  A lot.  I should have been in that coffee shop with her.  ME!

But let us not forget your most important offense.  Casting off my love -- my misterass (word I invented for male mistress; isn't it useful?), Coach Taylor.  It is as if you don't want us ladies to be happy.  He did show up in Super 8 last summer at least (brooding widower in a cop uniform trying to be a good dad -- triple points!), and I think I heard his voice in tortilla chip commercial.  But otherwise...WHERE IS HE?  Go find him.  Bring him back.  Put him on Up All Night as a single dad looking for love.  Or as a back up dancer on Smash; I don't care.  Just bring him.

You ruined Friday.

Signed,
Someone who should get a life on Fridays.

Hear! Hear! I miss Friday Night Lights... and, I too, drooled over Coach Taylor. Friday Night Lights was like getting to go back to my hometown for an hour a week. I loved it, and I totally miss seeing Tim Riggins wearing only those jeans...
