Bad News: To fill the void that is about to be left by exiting fan favorites Adrianne Palicki, Zach Gilford and Minka Kelly.

What the FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Renewal Means for the Future of Television
2009-03-31 05:09:00 Score one for fans of quality television everywhere. According to Variety, DirecTV and NBC have reached an agreement that will see FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS stick around for not just one but two more 13-episode seasons of Dillon Panther football. Better still, the continuation of this cross-platform deal between the network and the cable provider could, if we’re lucky, serve as a blueprint for similar deals in the future. Because the undeniable facts of modern television life are these: The audience is, for a multitude of reasons, shrinking, while costs are rising and the economy is sinking. And while those factors already have contributed to the loss of such quality shows as SWINGTOWN and PUSHING DAISIES, deals such as the one which will keep FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS on the air might well become the norm and offer such currently-struggling shows as DOLLHOUSE or KINGS a new life. A pipe dream? Perhaps. But who’d have thought FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS would make it to season four?

Week in Rewind: FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, UGLY BETTY, LOST & More!
2009-01-26 17:28:00 FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Delivers: Between the entire Panther football team rallying behind Smash, Buddy taking the opportunity to remind Tami that Scoreboard-Gate ‘09 isn’t going away anytime soon and Coach Taylor capping off the episode by dropping by the Williams’ household to let Smash and Momma Smash know that he’s got two weeks to prepare for his big tryout with Texas A&M, the only thing we can say about last week’s phenomenal installment of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS is that should the show get a much deserved fourth season, NBC might wish to consider switching Dillon’s local hangout from an Applebee’s to a Chili’s. Because “Chills” is exactly what we get while watching one of the finest dramas television has to offer.

TCA 2008: FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
2008-07-20 17:16:00 By: Kevin Kelly, Special TCA Correspondent Experimentation. It’s the buzz word of this year’s Television Critics Press Tour. Will SCRUBS jumping ship from NBC to ABC pay off? Will the CW really shake things up by shifting the start of their Fall season to mid-summer next season? And will satellite provider DirecTV’s gamble to pick up the critically acclaimed yet ratings anemic football series [that’s not really about football!] be hailed as a brilliant programming move or, a grand experiment that was ahead of its time? Place your bets. Because the only thing we know for sure is what one audience member inappropriately [yet accurately!] yelled out at this morning’s FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS TCA Panel. “FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS will quickly become the most downloaded show on television!” Which in case you’re wondering, star Zach Gilford full endorses, stating, “Well, if you’re a loyal fan I say you download it, and then out of good con...

2008-04-03 08:46:00 NBC Works Deal to Keep 'Friday Night Lights'!Post by: SalSource: Zap2ItNEW YORK -- Clear-eyed, full-hearted fans of "Friday Night Lights," Ben Silverman has heard your pleas.The NBC co-chairman says that "every single person who sat next to me on a plane," along with a host of critics and, probably most importantly, advertisers, were demanding that he renew the critically adored but lightly watched drama for a third season. The pickup became official Wednesday, but there's a catch.NBC has entered a partnership with DirecTV whereby the satellite-TV service will get first crack at the new season. Episodes will air on DirecTV's original programming channel, The 101, starting in October, but they won't make it to NBC until early 2009. It also won't stream on NBC.com or Hulu until then.Season three will run for 13 episodes, meaning some unresolved threads from the show's strike-abbreviated second year could be left dangling.Given that the show averaged only 6.2 million viewers a w...

I'm told that Jeff Zucker, Marc Graboff and Ben Silverman had been searching for a way to renew the critically acclaimed but low-rated Friday Night Lights for a 3rd season in a way that would still make financial sense. The answer came in a deal with DirecTV, now owned by John Malone's Liberty Media. Clearly Malone is looking to distinguish DirecTV from its rivals on a content as well as price basis.

Tonight’s TV Addict Must Watch: FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

If Ben Silverman’s recent comments are any indication, one thing is abundantly clear. Tonight’s season finale of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS may in fact be its series finale thanks to Mr. Silverman’s penchant for reality television, game shows and apparent aversion to quality.
