[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 176957, member: 102"] This is a very helpful thread started by [USER=237]@Lastkidpicked[/USER] so I decided to bump it up in case some newer forum members might not have know it exists. [USER=237]@Lastkidpicked[/USER], You've mentioned in several threads how good the attention to detail was in early Dallas seasons when they filmed everything in Texas. Everything down to the West Coast mirror on Ray's truck! I agree Dallas captured the look and feel of Texas extremely well in the seasons where everything was filmed in Texas. I'm wondering if you can think of another TV show which also captured the feel of Texas very well. One show I watched which was set in Texas was Friday Night Lights. It's set in west Texas though, around Odessa. If you saw it. what's your opinion of how accurately Friday Night Lights depicted Texas high school football and the culture surrounding it, and how much has Texas high school football changed since that series aired (2006-2011)? That hasn't been long, so maybe a better question is: The movie it was based upon was set in 1988, so how has Texas high school football changed since 1988? Is it as big a deal as it was back then, or close to as big? Are the star players on the high school football teams really treated like celebrities in their home towns? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
