NBC has all the episodes of Heroes and Friday Night Lights available on their website from now until January.   These are two of my favorite shows; so if you’re in need of some good TV this month, check them out:

Friday Night Lights: Kyle Chandler plays Eric Taylor, the new coach of a small Texan town where high school football is the main entertainment.   I love this show.   It’s realistic, moody, sweet, and has me cheering for the football team while at the same time thinking, “This town really needs to get a life.”  

Heroes: Ordinary people from all over the world discover they can do cool new things.   Claire–a cheerleader in Texas– is invincible and Hiro–an adorable Japanese office worker– can bend time and space.   I didn’t watch this show at first because the previews seemed pretentious to me.   After a few friends liked it, I gave Heroes a try.   I’m glad I did.   It’s one compelling show and Hiro just cracks me up too.
