Topic: The TV Show Thread

@CaptD yeah the missus and I adored Friday Night Lights. The three shows I mentioned are documentaries rather than dramas but if you ever get the chance, maybe give them a go.

@JohnnyShoulder
I do remember the 1978 version with the bloke from the A Team and someone from Bonanza or was it High Chaparral?
No I’m watching the 2004 series which is fairly similar, some characters are the same although there is something different about Starbuck, I like it.
It is very good so far, lots of scheming, bar room brawls and plot twists.

@psmr
Yep. The guy who knows and cares zip for the NFL states that he'll support the Cowboys in a Superbowl... That actually tracks. Don't take it personally when the fans of all the other teams take joy in watching "America's Team" fall flat on their faces or suffer their latest misfortune.
I hope you can watch some documentaries on other teams to undo your brainwashing - Hard Knocks is usually a good watch.
Do an internet search on most hated NFL teams and you'll see them consistently near the top of most lists I reckon.

@sorteddan 🤣 I thought that might draw the ire of non-American NFL fans. I don’t know if you seen it but it was pretty warts-and-all tbh and makes it clear why all fans of other teams hate the cowboys and Jerry Jones. I loved him though, he’s like a character straight out of a Taylor Sheridan show… in fact I do think he played himself in an episode of Landman.

So I have watched loads of NFL documentaries, including The Dynasty, QB1, Coach Prime and some show about college kids who were out of control and at a college specifically for troubled but talented young players, can’t remember what it was called. We’ve enjoyed them all but this was head and shoulders above all of them.

Sports fans choose their team for any number of reasons… after being local of course. And people who support other teams (who also have no real affiliation due to not being local) will always take issue. Dont worry, I ain’t some plastic NFL fan now all of a sudden, I have no plans to watch any actual games unless Jerry and the Cowboys somehow manage to get their **** together and make it to another Super Bowl… and even then, it’ll probably be the only match we ever watch.

And before you say it… yes I also know that Jerry Jones is the most hated owner/GM in the history of the game, as I say this documentary was probably more negative than positive… but I liked him with no qualms about whatever the majority might think of that. I live in the minority!
