The New York Times marks the 20th anniversary of 'Friday Night Lights,' the acclaimed drama about high school football in the fictional town of Dillon, Texas, with a retrospective asking whether the show's warm portrait of small-town American life could exist today. The piece taps into nostalgia for the series, which ran from 2006 to 2011 and is remembered for Kyle Chandler's Coach Taylor and the phrase 'Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.'
Why now: The beloved series' 20th anniversary is prompting nostalgia and reflection on its legacy.
