The highly popular show Friday Night Lights is set for a rerun. The fourth season of the serial starts at NBC in the evening today. Even though the program was recently aired on DirecTV it still has its loyal share of followers who will be more than happy to once again relish this offering.

Despite being repeated, critics feel that the program will continue to maintain the viewers’ interest and stay popular.

One of the main reasons for its popularity seems to be its fascination with high school football. The game is popular and loved by most of the Americans and a show centered on this theme is bound to do well. The latest season will bring a lot of new characters to the show and the old characters may be exiting or moving on with their lives. The central characters of the story continue to be Coach Taylor and his devoted wife.

The appeal of the show also lies in the fact that it focuses on underdogs and their struggles. It shows and values things like hard work, honesty, team work, friendship, loyalty and respecting your team and seniors. These qualities may not win you any brownie points in the real world but will help you to be a good player and human being.
