Ivy League Small-World-Afterall Trivia: At the same time that Connie Britton was an Asian Studies major at Dartmouth, next door in Massachusetts, Mira Sorvino was an East Asian Studies major at Harvard. 
Seven years after graduating, Connie acted with Mira's father, veteran actor Paul Sorvino.

Listened all day Saturday to the amazing 'Nashville' soundtrack album.

That is, before and after watching Melodifestivalen's Fourth Heat in Malmö on SVT Play Saturday around 2 p.m., 8 in Stockholm, by far the worst group of songs performed so far in this year's contest. I even had to mute the sound for some!:-(

Hayden Panettiere (as Juliette Barnes) performs "Consider Me" LIVE and Connie Britton (as Rayna James) comes to realize that maybe she sold Juliete short after all.

Quality writing counts! 'Friday Night Lights' last season begins tonight at 8 p.m. on NBC-TV

NBC-TV video: FNL -The Final Season Begins

NBC-TV video: FNL Cast on Final Season
http://www.nbc.com/friday-night-lights/video/FNL-Cast-on-Final-Season/1316083

As you'll recall me mentioning previously, I watched all the Season 5 episodes of FNL on DirecTV already, so I can tell you with certainty that this is THE best season yet.

Review past LA Times Showtracker posts on FNL as necessary

'Friday Night Lights': How a Low-Rated Drama Launched the Next A-List
By Kevin Fallon
Apr 15 2011, 11:00 AM ET
http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/04/friday-night-lights-how-a-low-rated-drama-launched-the-next-a-list/237381/

Per the above, which comes with a photo gallery, I actually watch all the current TV shows starring the former FNL cast members.

I especially like Fox-TV's new show, The Chicago Code, with Matt Lauria and Jason Clarke as police detectives, Jennifer Beals as the Police Supt. (and Clarke's character's former partner),with Delroy Lindo dazzling as usual as the ethically-challenged Chicago councilman, with both a do-good angel and corrupt devil perched on his shoulders.
They are pitch-perfect in their roles in a show that may be my favorite new 2011-12 show.

Last week's episode, "Wild Onions" was the best yet, and hopefully, Fox will show the wisdom to pick it up soon for a second season, since there are lot of compelling stories a cast this talented can tell about a city with a million stories.

Minka, we've missed you this past year!
We were relieved to have heard months ago that you're going to be spending so much time in Miami, both the real one and the TV version via ABC's remake of Charlie's Angels.
