I am extremely happy that they found a way to save this show. Even happier that I will be able to see it 3-4 months sooner since I have D*!

I've never had a reason to watch "The 101" before. Now I do!
FNL has to be my favorite TV show that is currently airing. It's such a compelling drama with characters that everyday people can relate to, unlike much of the current programming on network TV. FNL is smart, funny, dramatic and real. In all actuality, FNL should've been the show that revitalized network TV from all of the mind numbing game and reality shows that seem to be the norm these days.
I can't stress enough in how it's about sooo much more than just Football! Unfortunately though, the show hasn't been able to get around that affiliation. I don't think FNL was marketed properly and in return it didn't appeal to non-sports fans and woman in general. I have multiple male friends that watch the show and say their wifes/girlfriends refuse to watch it with them because they think it's all about football! Well, my wife watches it and absolutely loves it. As a matter of fact, it's her favorite show on TV as well! So I guess what I'm saying is that this 3rd season is a critical one to it's success. Give it a try, it's cult following and high remarks should speak for itself.
