The message in âFriday Night Lightsâ doesn&#39;t just apply to the sport of football. And you don&#39;t need to love football or be able to tell the difference between a wide receiver and a running back to understand

By ANDREW WINEKE Gazette TV columnist  The first time I saw high-definition television, probably 10 years ago, it was at the Seattle PBS station, KCTS/Channel 9.

By TIM CUPRISIN  The top-rated television show Sunday night wasn't ABC's much- discussed dramatization of the events leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks.

TV is in a tailspin. One by one, news shows are stepping off a cliff into oblivion. If there is one sure thing in this season of uncertainty it is tonight&#39;s debut of CSI: NY (9 pm, CTV and CBS).

The show was smart and intriguingly spiked with supernatural and sci-fi twists. It featured hot new stars who graced glossy magazine covers &#151; until the ratings tumbled. So much for "The X-Files," which enjoyed a nine-year run before misguided plots and a time slot change eroded its appeal. Flash forward to today and you'll find its counterpart in "Lost," another spooky, cerebral, sexy show &#151; which may end up killed off before its time.

Generally, Bad Language is against awards shows. The TelePrompTer puffery and please-buy/see-my-latest-CD/DVD appearances are nauseating at best. But it's our job to report on all things pop culture. So we watch. And we watch. And we fall asleep. Then we wake up and watch again.

Foxâs combination of âAmerican Idolâ and âThe Moment of Truthâ lifted it far ahead of its rivals in the Wednesday night ratings.

By TIM CUPRISIN  One of the interesting little footnotes to the new TV season is the way the networks are getting some of their new shows out to potential viewers before their actual premiere dates.

For a new television network, the CW sure has plenty of returning shows. Remember the cute kids and their minister dad from the WB's 7th Heaven? It's right where it used to be on Monday night.

Tycho:  The memories of those who came of age in the eighties have become a kind of ghastly rummage sale, a tilled up cemetery where icons lay tilted over bones draped in ancient finery.  Pork caught a preview of Transformers on Monday, and he claims that it is not, in fact, heresy - but I don't know how calibrated our respective tastes are.  I was going to make a statement about how any constantly shifting image could entertain him, enthrall him, command him, until I realized that this viewing was late at night, in the twilight period we call Pork After Hours, when his medication wanes and his blood is frenzied by some dark moon.  For him to have focused on anything at any time after nine o'clock is actually high praise.

Leave it to the NFL to reward NBC for buying into Sunday night by giving it an opener with a twist. Spend a few billion dollars and you, too, can make a family squirm.

Wednesday nightâs episode of this PBS mini-series has one sequence that could be particularly helpful, or perhaps just frustrating, for current late-night talk show hosts.

By RITA SHERROW     World Television Editor  It's deja vu all over again Friday on Fox, channel 23 and cable channel 5. In case you missed last week's season-opener and Monday's episode two of the new drama "Vanished," Fox is repeating both at 7 and 8 p.m. Friday.

By Chuck Barney, Contra Costa Times, Walnut Creek, Calif.  Feb. 14--FOR YEARS, WHEN it came to Thursday nights, your typical TV fans could toss aside the remote control and keep their sights locked on NBC all the way up to bedtime.
