I'm the master of watching good shows after they're completely off the air and I just recently started watching Friday Night Lights. I'm halfway through season 3 and hooked!
I also just started watching the BBC Sherlock, and it is so good!
Both are available on Netflix.
What shows are you super loving right now?

I am rewatching this now during my maternity leave! Tim Riggins is my favorite, and I want Tammy Taylors hair!

I should watch FNL! I see it on Netflix but never thought to watch it. I am really into Parenthood right now.

@mrbee: I've only seen one episode, but it's good enough for me to continue watching it - I like it so far. It's like the American version of Sherlock, except Lucy Liu plays the role of Watson. It's not as good as Sherlock though.

I watched FNL during maternity leave (which just ended on Tuesday) and loved it. I sat on the couch holding or nursing the baby and crying through most of the episodes. I practically had letdown just from hearing the opening credits music! I watched the series finale on my last day of leave and it felt vaguely symbolic to wrap up both at the same time.
I think someone should cut together all the scenes with Coach/Tami and Julie and sell them as a parenting manual DVD.

@Mrs. High Heels: I fi ished a few weeks ago and I am really sad there is no more! Can't wait to rewatch in a few months! Gah and Riggins is sooo hot!

Ugh fnl ruined tv for me forever...nothing I've watched since comes close! I'm trying to like parenthood right now but I'm only on the second episode. For me, the only thing near fnl in quality/addictiveness is downton abbey.

@Mrs. Bee: have you seen Parenthood?! So good! I also liked FNL, but wasn't in love with it... maybe it was the football angle which I wasn't crazy about, haha

@meridian @bao Parenthood is THE best!
I watched the first few episodes of FNL a year ago but I wasn't too into it. How long did it take ya'll to get into it?

I love FNL! DH and I are watching all of the seasons of the West Wing, which I never watched when it was on. I can't get enough!

@Mrs. Bee: I used to be a background actor on FNL. If you hit the pause button at just the right time, you can see me. It was so much fun working with the cast. They were all so much fun!

@wheres_c: umm we are all dying to know, which episode(s)?! Any good stories from the set?!

@Boopers: oh my gosh...it's been so long. Mostly all football scenes. Season 1 where they went to semi finals and championship. Also when smash was getting discriminated/racially harassed. Let me see if I have any pictures still somewhere.

@Boopers: I found some old photo's I took with my phone (before the days of smart phones)
I played a "nerdy student" in the cafeteria as well as a pompom girl. The rest of the time I was in the bleachers.
We did a lot of overnight shoots. I started working on season 1 while I was unemployed. Then I got a "real" job and cut back to shoots that were on Thursday's, Fridays, Saturdays or early evening.
Here's some pics:

I've heard such good things about it and have been saving it (and Parenthood) for my maternity leave. Looking even more forward to it now!

@Mrs. Bee: I tried watching FNL and didn't get into it... I'll have to try again! I am the same as you - I always watch the show after it's off the air and on netflix! I was watching PLL and LOVE it but I just couldn't keep up with watching it and fell behind... netflix has been awful about updating the seasons though 
Right now I'm watching Greys Anatomy on Netflix! I think I'm on season 6.

@wheres_c: awesome, did you live in the Austin area?
I watched the whole FNL series on Amazon instant video in December when LO was born. I am onto Prison Break, now, and have watched a few other old shows I never watched when they were on air since then.

@rawrasaur: yup, used to live in Austin...the state gives generous tax breaks to production companies that use Texas actors...so had a ton of fun doing that as a side job.

@Meridian: i saw the first episode, but i almost always start watching a show after it goes off the air so i can slam through the episodes. all my friends told me to watch it though if i like fnl!

@fussygal: @Mrs. Pen: i do think it was a little slow in the beginning, but once you get invested in the story and characters, it's so great!
@wheres_c: wow that's cool!
