While dozens of shows premiere each Fall, only a handful go on to be hits. The year 2006 was a great one for TV, producing hits like Heroes and 30 Rock. Like any year, there were also duds (Fox's Happy Hour, ABC's Six Degrees, NBC's Twenty Good Years, etc.), but it's actually impressive how many long-running, memorable series began in 2006. Before you dig into Fall's new shows, take a trip down memory lane.

While TV shows based on movies can be an underwhelming affair, Friday Night Lights broke the mold. Critics loved it, and if you watched its five emotional seasons, chances are good that it holds a special place in your heart. Kyle Chandler even took home the Emmy for his final season as Coach Taylor.
