NBC has decided to renew Friday Night Lights, otherwise known as the critically acclaimed show that nobody actually watches. Except us. And Roger Ebert.

But we've gone ahead and rounded up a few reasons why you should check it out next Fall.

Reason #1. Every single female character on the show is ridiculously hot.
Reason #2. So is Tim Riggins*
Reason #3. Coach Tayler is like the father figure you never had.
Reason #4. Plus, you ladies might remember him as the "Guy Who Literally Exploded" on Grey's Anatomy.
Reason #5. The show is actually smart. Not Smarter Than A Fifth Grader smart, but first season of Lost smart.

And finally, the last but most important reason: It's not a show for obsessed football fans. It's a show about obsessed football fans.

Which means you can know absolutely zilch about sports and still appreciate that Coach's daughter is doing the quarterback, the guy in the wheelchair is cheating on his fiancé, and how it's still considered "cool" to have an after-school job at the Dairy Freeze.
