I lived in Carlsbad when I was younger and the high school was a big part of my life. My mom was the yearbook teacher there and my brother was the quarterback of the football team. He was the hot shot of the town. It seemed like everyone knew the name Gilbert Burton. Watching Friday Night Lights brought me back to Carlsbad because it was like I was living there again when I watched it. The whole town would shut down on Fridays and EVERYONE would be at the game that evening. It was the life in a way.
The one part of the show that sent flashbacks into my mind was when the quarterback of the Panthers gets very hurt in the first episode. I remember sitting at a game and seeing my brother on the field with a shoulder injury. My parents had to go down to the sidelines and follow the ambulance to the hospital. When I was watching the episode it was like I was sitting in the stands watching my brother on the field.
It was a good time in the small time of Carlsbad and it is fun to watch the series and think about how my life used to be so similar. :)
