There’s no easy or remotely excusable way to try to justify the neglect with which I’ve treated our relationship. I can only apologize and admit that the sheer abundance of your new programming is such that I must one again engage this medium in my rambling, amateurish analyses and giddy speculation. (I also need a […]

My silence may be eerie, but I’m sneakily still very much liking TV. In fact, I just got in from the Fox upfront party. It’s been an exhausting and kind of uneventful week, but what better excuse to touch base than the TV equivalent of prom?
So this year marked my first in-person upfront experience, and […]

For anyone who reads this blog with any regularity, it’s probably no surprise to hear that I’ve been throwing up a little in my mouth on a daily basis since the fate of Friday Night Lights sunk back into uncertainty. I love my favorite show. I want it to come back more than just about […]

No, it isn’t photo fanfic time. I’m just taking a moment to update you less vigilant TV fans who may not be keeping up on all of the latest Friday Night Lights and How I Met Your Mother speculation, leads and updates. Some is good, some plain stinks and most just reminds me […]

The mere thought that this was the last I’ll ever get of Friday Night Lights hurts too much to bear, so I’ll abandon speculation until after the rundown. Friday’s episode, “May the Best Man Win,” wasn’t a remotely fitting end to this season (much less the series). It offered a bittersweet resolution […]

Just one week off from the season’s unceremonious finale (my heart, it hurts!), and pretty much everyone on Friday Night Lights is an emotional wreck. Saracen, fresh off his live-in girlfriend’s abrupt exodus from the country, is drowning his sorrows with Riggins in all sorts of seedy hillbilly dives (also frequented by born-agains, of […]

I will not accept the fact that Friday Night Lights is wavering in its realism until one of the many scenes at the Dillon Applebee’s is punctuated with a sassy comment from a Red Delicious voiced by Wanda Sykes. That said, last week’s tornado and this week’s thievery coming so hot on the heels of […]

I have evangelized this show (often ineloquently) till I’ve been blue in the fingers. Accusations of a sophomore slump, dummying down and pandering to demographics have all fallen on my deaf ears. Friday Night Lights was the show of 2007 here at Mikey Likes TV.
For the wayward Ghost Whisperer fan whose found their […]

People are fickle. People are so damn fickle. This is why I am officially done reading what they have to say about Friday Night Lights. I disagree with almost all of them, and there are some folks in life that anger me to the point where I just have to ignore them. […]

The devastating loss of Veronica Mars only truly sank in during the last month when her name was notably absent from all of the talk of the new season. It seemed like none of the 700 series on my DVR roster could replace what she took with her, what I really love about television: […]
