...prefer your drama less quantum-physics-based and easier to follow, NBC returns Friday Night Lights for Season 3 (Fridays, 9 p.m. E.T.). Calling FNL a high school football drama is a disservice, though it is one; it's really a drama about small-town life.

Wurzelbacher, who got his first 15 minutes of fame as a prop for John McCain during last year's U.S. election campaign, has swapped his plunger for a reporter's notebook on a mission to cover the Gaza war for the conservative website Pajamas TV.
