The producers of one of the best yet unseen shows on tv, Friday Night Lights (based on the superb book and the decent movie of the same name) are considering having Rosie guest star for an episode, or two. Ugh. Ugh. One of the charms of the show was the reality, realness of having a pretty much unknown cast. A guest star of such prominence will sort of ruin that. I know the show desperately needs ratings but still she is pretty much the antithesis of everything the show is; heartland traditional male dominated small town. A liberal New York lesbian feminist really doesn't fit in. According to Defamer she would be a women's soccer coach who is upset about the disparity of funds at Dillon between the football team and everything else. I'm actually a huge fan of Title IX (and really loved our women's team alot more than Duke's men this year) but if this goes through I may have to change my principles.
You can watch Friday Night Lights at NBC.com; please do it so maybe the powers that be will realized the show is gaining viewers without Rosie. You won't regret it.
(and I may be singelhandedly bumping up NBC.com's traffic today. I'm awesome!)
