He's a douchebag, and a particularly lame example of the old "bad boy with a good heart" fiction trope. Those scenes where he's bonding that little boy who lives next door or "looking out for" the coaches daughter or fixing their cable lol. Just tiresome stuff.

He desecrated the saintly wholesomeness of my beloved Lyla :to: get your filthy hands off her you odious wretch :damn:

That, and he looks about 30 but is supposed to be like 16 at the start? :comeon:


I hate him. :lupe:

Tim is a character that grows on you. Everyone hates him in the beginning

I just need to pop in and give some recognition to Matt Saracen. That dude's arc in season four completely wrecked me.

Riggins is a typical red neck though. A ton of white dudes are just like him.

I haven't heard one person say anything bad about this show, it was actually on the top 101 written shows list the other day.

The movie was great but I always assumed this was on the same level as 90210 (new one), One Tree Hill, OC, etc.

If it's so good why only 4 seasons?

Correction: 5 seasons. Honestly, I don't think the show was setup well to succeed from the start. It was initially going up against American Idol, so that hurt ratings. Also I think NBC just did a flat out poor job of handling/promoting the show. It would've been a lot more successful on another network, in my opinion.

This is a great read about the show, for those of you who may not have read it before...
