good luck buddy. hopefully it will turn out better than when i did it

the way ive known how red light/green light works is 2 guys start taking shots alternating from one to the other. after one guy takes a shot he says green light to keep going or red light to call it quits. the one to call red light first gets to receive a punch in the arm like the junior high game "hits"(or whatever its called) from the other guy. in the case of the show eric said red light i think and jumped the other dude so i guess they werent playing by the rules .

it's a shame Smash's mom never got any kind of recognition for her work on FNL. As far as just plain good acting, she is the best on the show.

I just wish they'd get rid of Smash's girlfriend. I don't think the character brings a whole lot to the table that's either positive or interesting.

I concur. Would have been ok if she was just the white girlfriend which would have facilitated the storyline, but the whole "recruiting advisor" bit got old...FAST.

Either way, she's definitely hot and can decently carry a tune...

Best Week Ever is running a campaign to send light bulbs to NBC encouraging them to keep the show.
http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/02/08/lights-on-send-light-bulbs-to-nbc-to-save-friday-night-lights/

It's probably the first time ever a rival has asked another network not to cancel a show. (VH1 is part of the CBS family).

just an average episode, but better than alot on tv these days. Hope this is not the end.

Latest rumor is a two-hour "movie of the week" on nbc to wrap up the series.

I'll take what I can get, I guess...

That wouldn't be too bad. 2 seasons is more than many of us thought we would get when it first came out.

Not sure what this means for the series but Taylor Kitsch (Riggins) is going to play Gambit in the upcoming Wolverine movie.

Awesome news for Riggins! One of the things about FNL is how likeable the people are. I genuinely want to see each of these young actors suceed.

Season 2 on DVD 4/22...they are pricing it at about $20 again.

We will know around the beginning of April if it makes it back for a 3rd season.

David Edwards, who was paralyzed during a 2003 high school football playoff game and whose injury was fictionalized in the TV show "Friday Night Lights," has died. He was 20.

Edwards, stricken with pneumonia since late last year, stopped breathing Monday night and slipped into a coma. He died Wednesday at Northeast Methodist Hospital.

Edwards would have turned 21 on Saturday.

A junior defensive back at San Antonio Madison, Edwards broke his neck when he collided with an Austin Westlake wide receiver when both were reaching for a pass during a November 2003 playoff game.

Director and producer Peter Berg attended that game. The 2006 pilot episode featured a high school football player who breaks his neck and is paralyzed while trying to make a tackle.

Found this from Deadline Hollywood Daily

EXCLUSIVE: NBC Picking Up 'Friday Night Lights' After Partnering With DirecTV

This is great news to that small but passionate audience for the best TV series you're not watching. 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 offer exclusive content to his satellite subscribers to distinguish DirecTV from its rivals on a content as well as price basis. "It's an innovative deal where NBC found a partner who will share costs and exhibition windows," an insider explained to me. So both NBC and DirecTV will be airing Friday Night Lights across multipurpose platforms.

nbc-logo-rgb-pos2.jpgI'm a big fan of hour-long high school football drama (which is really about horny teens and their hornswoggled parents) so I say hooray. NBC aired the last completed episode of Friday Night Lights on February 8th, but until now there's been no word on the fate of the seven remaining episodes that have been written but not produced. I can report now that the third season is saved. Even though it usually ends up last in its time slot, the show does OK in the 18-to-49 demos and often wins the 18-to-34 demos. But FNL's Season One only averaged 6.1 million viewers a week, making it something like the 95th-highest rated show on network primetime TV, fnl-3.jpgand Season Two averaged 6.2 million viewers a week but still came in at 101th.

I can't say whether the fans' campaign to save the show by sending all those mini- footballs to NBC bigwigs worked the magic. But I do know the execs got them.

Went to TVGuide, because I expected they would have had this story first.

There's no deal... yet.

That's what my sources over at NBC are telling me in response to a Deadline Hollywood Daily story claiming NBC has picked up Friday Night Lights after partnering with DirecTV. A spokesperson for NBC Universal declined comment.

---

E!, however, is confirming:

quote:

---

I can confirm the report that, yes, Friday's lights will stay on: Sources tell me the deal is not yet official, but things look more than promising...Hallelujah!

---

But please, let this be true.


[This message has been edited by 20ag07 (edited 3/5/2008 9:18p).]

I really wish not only do they have a third season but resolve season 2!

I'd like them to just begin Season 3 where they left off. It gives us a whole extra season with Smash and Riggins on the team. We can see the final regular season game or two and then the playoffs.

FNL would first air on an exclusive DirecTV channel followed by an encore broadcast on NBC.

Quote today from executive producer Jason Katims:

quote:

---

"We remain optimistic about the future of the series and appreciate the overwhelming fan support, but it is too premature to comment on the status of any negotiations."

---

Latest news is the show will soon be renewed for a 13 episode S3. If the first eps do well enough, it will get bumped up to a full 22 ep season.

Great news! I am very hopeful.

Yay!

I admit, I went to http://www.savefridaynightlights.tv/ and made some postcards, a couple letters, and signed the petition a while back to do my part.

Hmm, always having to worry if this show is gonna make it is really starting to bother me

The FNL panel at Paley Fest was last night, things worth noting...

quote:

---

a Friday Night Lights castmember just whispered to me the following regarding season three:

"It's happening. I'm not supposed to say anything. We're not supposed to say anything. But it is happening. I want you to know."

---

quote:

---

Although the DirecTV deal is still not official, Katims said to expect some news "within two or three weeks." Even more promising, he referred to shooting new episodes in July, before quickly qualifying it with an "if the show returns." What would a DirecTV deal look like? Basically, FNL would air on NBC and DTV concurrently.

---

quote:

---

Where does the story pick up "if" the show comes back? According to Katims, it's unclear. Most likely, the action would jump ahead to a new school year. As for "graduating" cast members or "incoming freshman," he maintained that he's devoted to his core cast, but added that there needs to be a balance between the authenticity of the show (i.e., people do leave high school, eventually) and its growth (move over Taylor, there's a new hottie in town).

---

quote:

---

Regardless of where (and if) next season's plot picks up, there are a few things that are going to stay front and center, with football topping that list. Katims admitted the sport had been benched a little bit this year, but promised that would change next season. He also assured fans that the storyline surrounding Smash's transition to college, which was cut short by the strike, WILL be told.

---

F yes... This is great news in the morning!

Good news, but I wish they would pick it back up at the end of last season and show the playoffs.

The deal to bring the show back is expected to be announced at NBC's presentation this morning- expect more later.
