In the best TV show idea since, America’s Funniest Shots In The Nuts, a TV show version of Varsity Blues is going to happen. You will soon be able to go back to West Canaan, Texas, where football is a way of life and small-town heroes have big-time dreams.
A 10… a 10… a fucking 10!

The upcoming show for CMT will be based on the movie Varsity Blues and will be written by W. Peter Iliff, who wrote the original from 1999 film as well as Point Break and Patriot Games. Deadline reports that Paramount Pictures, who distributed the film, is producing the television show.
Maybe everybody’s favorite backup quarterback, Jonathan Moxon, will get his chance.
Seems like a smart decision based on how well Friday Night Lights did on TV. But it could just end up being a complete rip-off of FNL.
FUUUUCK!!! It’s on CMT? That means no whipped cream bikinis.
