Best Show on TV

I'm not saying this is my opinion, although I will admit it is an extremely well done and entertaining show. Ben, however, LOVES Friday Night Lights.

Those of you who watch it may understand this a little better than others, but here is an example of my Saturday mornings when the show is on TV. I say Saturday morning because we DVR everything to skip over commercials and Ben can't make it past 10 AM the next morning before he has to see what's new in the world of Dillon, TX and the Taylor's.

This show starts with a fairly lengthy intro each week to set the stage for the drama that is soon to follow. That is just enough to get Ben geeked about the next 40-60 minutes of entertainment. Immediately after the intro the rhythmic piano of the theme song begins pounding as scenes of Texas, football, and the coming season flash across the screen. EVERY week at the exact same point in the song Ben says, "Best show on TV."

The show just started back up this season, and this soundtrack, including Ben's weekly comment, is already fixed in my mind. How do I know this? Ben downloaded the sound track for Friday Night Lights and included the theme song in my latest "Ben's Mix" iPod update. About 5 seconds into the song I thought, "Best show on TV."

I guess that makes it a fact right?
