Description: It's the opposite of Freaks and Geeks. MTV's documentary series Two-A-Days is a look at the lives of the popular kids, the varsity football players and cheerleaders of Alabama's Hoover High. If the film-turned-TV program Friday Night Lights is fiction that feels like fact, Two-A-Days takes the fiction out of that equation. The show spends an entire season with the Buccaneers--two practices every day. At the start of 2005, the Bucs are in the midst of a 23-game winning streak. That can't last forever. It doesn't. As in the NBC drama, the town revolves around football, which adds to the stress level, i.e. when the Bucs lose, the community mourns. The primary players are Ross (quarterback), Repete (defensive end), Goose (defensive tackle), and Max and narrator Alex (safetys). As Alex notes in the pilot ("Kickoff"), "At Hoover, football is like a religion and the players on our high school team are celebrities." The top dog is tough-talking head coach Rush Propst, who gives R. Lee Ermey's Full Metal Jacket drill sergeant a run for the money. They're a charismatic bunch, but it's too bad gentle giant Bryan, a band member during the off-season, gets such short shrift. In the first season (the series was renewed for a second), the players deal with injuries, demanding parents, and suspicious girlfriends. They ease the pressure with pranks and parties. Their biggest pressure: Will the Buccaneers win their fourth consecutive state championship or will they let personal problems get in the way? The answer comes in the eighth episode ("One Last Game"). The ninth ("What Next?") wraps up the rest of the year, while the third disc ("Overtime") features highlights, outtakes, and promo spots. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Review Summary: Great show!!!! |

Details: I live over in Japan and my wife, who is Japanese, asked me what was I watching, because she thought I was watching a college football show. when I told her that is was highschool, she could not believe that this was highschool and she kind of got hooked into the series as I did, but I wished they had more to show. I enjoyed every minute of the show and it made me miss highschool, because I love football and I enjoyed all the hard hits, the great passing and running and just the over all spirit this show had. I'm trying to catch the next season, so I can stay up to date with Hoover. |

Review Summary: I live five minutes from Hoover High.... |

Details: Before the show came out, I was really excited about it. I was wondering how MTV would display Hoover's team and its players. I was kind of worried they would ruin Hoover's good image. Overall, I think they did a pretty good job. I think the show does do a good job depicting how high school is like from the point of view of the "popular" students - football players and cheerleaders. As for the show itself, I was rather disappointed at times because I was expecting the show to focus more on football and not on social relationships such as teen dating. At times it seemed the show focused little on football. I didnt like that. I wanted to see more indepth coverage of practices and games. With that said if I was a teen, I probably wouldnt mind the social aspect of the show. Its just not what I'm in to. If you are, I say great this is the show for you, however, if you are strictly a football fan looking for a documentary showing indepth coverage of a high school football dynasty you may be disappointed. Regardless, I'm proud of my hometown team and think its rather neat MTV picked us to do a show on. |

Details: Two-A-Days has got to be the best show ever to come out of MTV. The DVD takes you back to that season over and over again. The special features are a nice addition to a great set. I have to say, after watching this show, it has made me look back into my life and re-evaluate everything in my life! The show is so gripping, heartwrenching, and moving that it will stay with you days after watching just one episode! Can't wait for the second season to start on January 30th! |

Details: EVEN THOUGH I AM MAX'S GRANDMOTHER, I CAN SAY, WTHOUT PREJUDICE, THAT THIS WAS AN AMAZING AND SPELLBINDING SHOW. THE TEAM SPIRIT AND THE TENSION OF EACH GAME WERE TERRIFIC. OF COURSE MAX WAS MY FAVORITE, BUT ALL OF MEMBERS ON THAT GREAT TEAM WERE AWESOME! NOBODY COULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER QUARTERBACK THAN ROSS AND ALEX, AND "REPEAT" WERE GREAT TOO!!! |
