Congratulations to Friday Night Lights for its five Television Critics Association nominations it received this week. It was nominated for: --Outstanding Program of the Year --Outstanding Drama --Outstanding New Program --Oustanding Individual Achievement in Drama (Connie Britton) --Outstanding Individual Achievement in Drama (Kyle Chandler)
The five nominations the show received were the most nominations of any program this year. So, congrats to everybody there.
The next new show for the fall that I'm eager to see is New Amsterdam. This show on FOX is about a homicide detective who is 400 years old because he was given long lasting life when he saved an Indian princess. When he meets his soul mate, then he will be returned to mortal and live like a regular person. The character is just absolutely fascinating. It's really exciting and while the show does on the surface look like a procedural (he is a cop, natch), the pilot reads like it will be something much more interesting. I have some friends who have talked to the Executive Producer about this and it sounds just absolutely exciting. This trailer isn't the reason I'm excited, but it's still something...
