1. Watch Friday Night Lights on NBC, Wednesdays at 8pm.
For those not familiar, it's based on the book by H.G. Bissinger, and chronicles the small Texas town of Dillon and its passion for high school football. The hopes and dreams of the players are intertwined with the town itself.
The TV series opened with the star quarterback taking a hit that put him in a wheelchair. While certainly guilty of pulling emotional strings with its audience, this device has worked to shake much of the usual teenage artifice from the characters, and how they relate to each other.
