Am I right? Eh? EH? I've actually never seen the show.
They should air it on HBO and have those broads on there naked by ThornBalls	Jul 8th, 2008 04:34:02 PM

Wow! Now, That's Cool News by kevinwillis.net	Jul 8th, 2008 04:35:57 PM
Actually, not. Of course, I could care less about this show. But I'd have to really, really try hard.
Phew by photoboy	Jul 8th, 2008 04:42:16 PM
While I'm sad to see those characters go, they were getting a bit tired towards the end (middle?) of season 2. As long as they don't drop Minka Kelly or Adrianne Palicki I'm happy...
Gauis Charles by Quin the Eskimo	Jul 8th, 2008 04:45:50 PM
IS Terrell Owens, but actually a human, not a freakin' space alien.
It's a natural progression by exie	Jul 8th, 2008 04:48:04 PM
Seriously, it's a show set in High School. People are going to grow up and leave, otherwise it turns into the bloated mess that 90210 turned into when they were all in college together and there were mafia storylines and such. They were grasping for straws with those characters after awhile. I'm glad they will wrap up their storylines and send them on their way. I guarantee both of their exits will be handled note perfect. The good news is we get another season, although I think NBC will never show all 13 episodes. All the die hard fans will get downloads of the Direct TV broadcasts off bit torrent or newsgroups and by the time NBC pulls it's head out of it's ass and airs them, most of us will already have seen them. NBC really doesn't want this show to get ratings. I know a ton of people who have fallen in love with the show on Universal HD. There's going to be a lot more fans this season than I think even NBC thought there were.

We have discriminating taste. Al; there is to that.
It's about time by ThrowMeTheIdol	Jul 8th, 2008 05:39:05 PM
Some of the supposedly young characters on that show look like they are 30. Jason and Riggins to name 2. Smash worked better but I guess his arc ran its course.
Awesome show by jimmy_009	Jul 8th, 2008 07:17:44 PM
Sad to see the two go, but credit goes to the creators for not forcing the stories to keep them in. Lucky me I just got DirectTV!
I'm just finishing season 1 by tbransonlives	Jul 8th, 2008 07:53:46 PM
I really didn't want to like the show, but dammit it is good.
The secret to the shower scene by Rev. Slappy	Jul 8th, 2008 08:01:03 PM
was Kyle Chandler's reaction to it. If that guy doesn't get an Emmy nom as Coach Taylor it would be a second year of highway robbery (James Spader won last year and Chandler wasn't nominated???). It's a cliche, but Chandler can say more with a look or a raised eyebrow than most actors can do with pages of dialogue.
The cuts were for budgetary reasons, too... by Pennsy	Jul 8th, 2008 08:11:39 PM
Let's hope there aren't any more actors jettisoned.
Bench the whole fuckin' team by MeshGearFoxx	Jul 8th, 2008 09:08:28 PM
Never seen this POS show but I just felt like saying that.
They should add my ASS as a character by JimCurry	Jul 8th, 2008 10:00:08 PM
that would be good, right?
Their stories last season were getting tired by zooch	Jul 8th, 2008 10:10:28 PM
I never liked any the stories involving Smash, and the writers couldn't figure out what to do with somebody in a wheelchair. The other people; Coach, Tami, Landry, Saracen, Riggins were always much more interesting.
Loved the first season by LeckoManiac	Jul 9th, 2008 01:30:57 AM
But the whole Landry/murder storyline that started the second season was TERRIBLE. And then having Matt bang the spanish nurse was cringe worthy. I had to stop watching. For those that followed it until the season ended...did it get any better? Because the episodes I saw physical hurt considering how amazing season 1 was.
HA! by NerdHooligan	Jul 9th, 2008 08:41:58 AM
I love that Tim Riggins is still in High School. Cutting Smash and Jason makes sense because they didn't really give them much development last season, which sucks. I thought Gauis Charles was the best young actor on the show. And, Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton deserve emmys. that is all.
mr_macphisto and MeshGearFoxx by shoe1985	Jul 9th, 2008 06:55:21 PM
Many people have said the same thing you are saying, until they watch the show, then their opinions change. As for these two people leaving, their stories are over, and their is nowhere for them to go. You can't keep Smash on because he is off to college, and the budget wouldn't allow for more cast to be added that would needed to be required. At least they will finish their arcs.
Sad to see them go by My Pretty Pony	Jul 9th, 2008 07:20:29 PM
I like Street a lot. Smash isn't one of my favorite characters, but Gaius Charles is such a fantastic actor that he makes me want to like Smash. The worst part about these characters leaving the show is that it means no more Herc or that terrific actress who plays Smash's mom. However, the entire cast is so strong that they should be fine even after the loss of some great characters. I absolutely agree that Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton deserve Emmys. I also think Jesse Plemmons (Landry) at least deserves a nomination.
Bring Back Herc! by Freakemovie	Jul 9th, 2008 08:18:49 PM
Best character on the show. Street and Smash, well, that was half-expected...they were never really sure what to do with Street after Season 1 anyway, although I do like the guy a lot. But KEEP HERC!
Smash I could do without by BitterMan23	Jul 10th, 2008 12:13:52 AM
But I think Street, when they actually USED him, provided a lot of the "its not a show about football, its a show about people who PLAY football" aspect. His scenes with Herc and a few of his subplots on S2 were some of the show's best. But it did seem like he would get shoehorned in at times, so I guess it makes sense. As long as Riggins is still around, cuz that guy is gold.
sad about Gaius leaving. by La Frog	Jul 10th, 2008 12:20:00 AM
He is such a talented actor. Plus he's hot.
If Landry can pull Tyra.... by togmeister	Jul 10th, 2008 02:09:01 PM
....then there's hope for us all yet. Personally i thought the whole Landry-The-Love-God plot was touching and very funny. 'What's a better movie to take a date to - Wrath of Khan or Jaws?'
Landry does have that "reminds me of Matt Damon" by Big Jim	Jul 11th, 2008 12:42:26 PM
thing going for him. Subliminal attraction. Woman go for him but they don't know why.
