Friday Night Lights moved from Tuesday to Wednesday so they could avoid American Idol but tonight will find out what it would have been like, if they had stayed put. Good thing this won’t happen once the Idol competition gets into full swing and hopefully more people will give this show a chance as it is really good. There really isn’t any thing else all that good in the first hour of primetime on Wednesday nights, normally. What looks good to you tonight?
