Touchdown! Get ready to talk about: "Friday Night Lights"
If you don't have it, find someone with DirecTV, turn to Channel 101 at 9 p.m. and indulge in one of the best series on TV. As a colleague describes it, the fourth season, via the previews, appears to have undergone a fantastical Guillermo del Toro-style makeover. There's also aggressive hinting that Julie and Matt are headed for splitsville. Beautiful and distressing -- hallmarks of good prime-time drama. (Wednesday)
Talk about the unbearable wait for: "Toy Story 3"
The trailer is out and with just three minutes' worth of footage the folks at Pixar made me cry, then laugh, then cry. Final tears were for the last frame: In theaters June 2010. Happy YouTube-ing till then. (Available now)
Of course you want to talk about: "Flight of the Conchords"
Still no news of a third season of the New Zealand folk parody duo's HBO show, but the next best thing has arrived. An album of music from Season 2. Fans know "Sugalumps" rivals Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" in hilarity, and the titular "I Told You I Was Freaky" is, in Conchords spirit, plain creepy good. (Tuesday)
