One of the many things that make FNL such a good show was the AMAZING cast and I can't wait to se them bring on more former FNL cast favorites (Can't wait to se Coach Taylor, Riggins, and Buddy Gerity on here man).

    I absolutely love when y'all talk about trying to get others into the show, "it's not only about football!" I swear I have said that umpteen times to every friend I've tried to get to watch. None of my friends enjoy sports, or football in general... but every friend that finally watched, they loved the show!! Thanks for making such an awesome podcast to listen to. This feeling of nostalgia is incredible!

    Hi! I just want to say that for me the reason why this show was so special is because of each character on it. All original characters made the show and the show would not have been the same if any of you were someone else. Zach, you were amazing. I would say one of my favs but truly all of you are my favorite.

Thanks so much for the very amazing and sweet cameo video you made for me that’s was requested by by fiancé about two years ago. You were congratulating me on my pregnancy and wishing me well and you gave us advice about purchasing a book called ( Cherish the first six weeks) that book was a huge help and lifesaver for me and my fiancé. I have loved being a mother to my little girl . When I saw the cameo video from you I was so so happy!!! I was smiling ear to ear😊 I will definitely be keeping up with the podcast and TH-cam channel! Thanks all of you for making this so enjoyable! All of you have a special place in my heart! My fiancé introduced me to Friday night lights when we first were dating and let’s just say I fell in love with it and I am a huge fan!

    So I don’t know if the hosts read the comments. But just in case, this is for Mae. And this will have spoilers for Parenthood. But my favorite scene was with you and Craig T. Nelson in the junkyard. The acting was superb for both of you. But more than that, his line about how all his grandchildren were his dream, and how dare you mess with his dream, IMO, summarizes what the show was about. Yes it is an ensemble of multigenerational families. But in my mind, the entire show was about Zeek’s dream. His childhood, his grandchildren. And at the end, his great-grandson. That’s why I think it was fitting, although sad, that Zeek died at the end. His dream had ended. Such a beautiful show.

    I have always wondered if Kyle Chandler's life mirrored what was happening on the show when he went to coach college football and left his wife and daughters back in Dillon, possibly similar to Kyle leaving his wife and two young daughters somewhere else while he was filming in Austin. Did Kyle move near Austin? Did his wife and daughters come often to Austin? (It must have been hard for him to be apart from them.) LOVE THE PODCAST!
