Washington, D.C. (April 30, 2008) -- Okay, which one is a better HDTV show? NBC's Friday Night Lights or CBS' Criminal Minds?

In round one of the LCD division of our first annual elimination tournament to determine the best show in High-Definition, we pit Criminal Minds (3rd seed) vs. Friday Night Lights (6th seed).

____________________________________________
Final Poll Results:

Friday Night Lights -- 53 percent
Criminal Minds --  47 percent
______________________________________________

Criminal Minds, which features an elite team of criminal profilers, has challenged CSI as the top drama on CBS.
Criminal Minds airs Wednesday nights on CBS.


But Friday Night Lights, which focuses on a talented but flawed high school football team in Texas, has achieved a loyal following with thousands of people urging NBC to return the show for a third season.
Friday Night Lights returns to the air this October on DIRECTV and in January on NBC as part of marketing/funding agreement between the two companies.

So cast your vote above!
