UPDATE (May 23) : Friday Night Lights returns with reruns this summer (Sundays at 9/8 Central).
UPDATE (May 10) : Looks like it's official, folks. Kristin at E! Online reports that Season Two is on its way with a full order of 22 episodes. Michael Ausiello at TV Guide confirms the excellent news.
UPDATE (April 11) : First comes the Peabody. Then come an additional six scripts. Let's hope renewal is next.
The press has spoken. The public agrees. Friday Night Lights was one of the best things to come out of 2006-07. We think it deserves a shot at 2008, too.
Let this page be a monument to its excellence. Let it be a resource for The Powers That Be, where they may carefully examine its brilliance before deciding its fate. Most importantly, let it be a place where we, the fans, can say that we fought our hardest to keep a great thing alive.
FNL is the best show currently on TV. Please renew! There is nothing else on TV worth watching! The writing and acting are phenominal. I can't wait for Season 2.
The relationships - good and bad -- there are examples to live by and examples of mistakes. The best part is watching how mistakes are dealt with and not run away from. I enjoy watching the relationship between Coach and Mrs. Taylor. Not only do they obviously love each other, they show each other respect and consideration. They communicate - whether they agree or not -- they are the epitome of what a good , healthy relationship should be.
Great Show.
I LOVE this show! the characters(actors) are marvelous!!! It's about LIFE!!! My family really enjoys watching it each week - and we really like the football!! Please keep this quality show on tv. I am soooo sick of reality tv. Without Lights there are few show worth watching!!!
This is a great family show...it definitely needs to be renewed for next season.
it's the best show ever
It's a great show and is very real. My daughter's and I look so forward to it. I think it helps to open communication on real life topics with the kids, too. Can't think of a show that hits home more than this one.
Friday night lights made me want to turn on the tv on Wednesdays. The series attracts all ages of people (old and young) because not only does focus on highschool drama, but also real life family issues and tensions.
Please bring it back next year!
Friday Night lights deals with real life drama and the life of teens across america. It is inlightening to parents and adults who don't know what is going on in the schools and the life of teens.
It is a great show with down to earth people and actors.
Please consider renewing this show for the fall of 2007. It would be a shame to let the nation down.
I would give up a lot of NBC shows to have this one remain on the air. I love this show.
Thanks,
Andrea G.
Hands down, the best show on TV. I can't understand what's taking NBC so long to renew - it's not like they have a whole lot of great shows going for them anyway.
The characters on Friday Night Lights are the best thing about it. They are real, we care about them and the relationship between the Taylors is a wonderful example of how a man and a woman can relate on an equal footing. Also, the caring attitute of Tami Taylor as the high school guidance counselor is exceptional. There are many life lessons that young people can learn from in each episode. This excellent television program dealing with the everyday problems of young adults reminds me of another excellent program, "My So Called Life," that was too short lived. Let's hope NBC doesn't make the same mistake that ABC did by cancelling "My So Called Life" prematurely. P.S. How can you go wrong with great charachters and football?
It is a clean show done in good taste and portrays a positive image of rural America. It shows people dealing with, and raising thamselves up from tragedy and adversity. It provides a positive message for all and it is enjoyable to watch.
This is truly one of the best shows that I've seen on TV in a very long time. The actors bring amazing realism to their parts and you can almost feel the real family vibe. Coach and Mrs. Taylor do an phenominal job every week providing real glimpses into an honest relationship. This show deserves the ability to find it's audience, it would be nice for NBC to settle on a night and stop moving it around so much.
Over the past 10 or so years, I have become less and less a fan of television entertainment. Most of it, I think is complete and utter drivel, not worthy of broadcast at best, and downright evil at worst. I watched the first episode of FNL mostly out of curiosity, because my daughter worked on both the movie and TV productions. From the first few minutes of the first episode I was hooked. Without question, FNL provides viewers the finest acting, the most engaging, relatable characters, the most realistic, and the most authentic portrayal of families and relationships, with all their attendant conflicts, of any series in my memory. I am 64, and have not planned my life around a TV show since the Mary Tyler Moore Show dictated where I was every Saturday night for years. I plan my life around the airing of the next episode of Friday Night Lights, you know ,sort of like "wither thou goest"....
I care about these characters, and believe if just given an opportunity to see an episode, millions of viewers all over the country would see that the situations, conflicts and challenges these characters deal with are NOT regional situations, or all about small town Texas football (really there is very little footage of football being played) rather they are situations, conflicts and challenges common to us all, part of the Human condition. FNL is truly a gem, a treasure which captures the universal experience of living in today's world.
My husband and I LOVE Friday Night Lights. It is one of the best shows on TV. Please keep it on!
This is an incredible show, by far the best drama on tv this year. The writing and acting are superb. I am not a football fan. I watch this show for the depth of the character relationships, the wide range of characters that are not stereotypical, the realism, the drama, the look at a small Texas town , my list could go on and on. I watch it with my teenage son and daughter and it opens up doors for discussions on a long list of teen issues including, sex, alcohol, abuse, school, racial issues, etc. I so hope that NBC considers another season of this fantastic show. It's been on in a terrible time slot for us but we work around it and tape it if we have to. I'm glad we even got to find out about it (since it waas at a time that we don't normally watch tv) but we will definately be looking for it next season!
It's simply the best acted, and best written, show on television.
This is the best show I have seen in a long long time. Sure shows like Grey's Anatomy are good and have good acting, but this show is more than good it is GREAT. The actors are all perfectly cast and do such wonderful acting, you forget it is acting. The writing and direction make it even more exceptional. I just started watching the show online and have watched 18 episodes in 2 weeks. I have told everyone I know about it and demanded they watch it, because I just don't know anyone that would not be in love with it. I hope it is renewed next year and everyone finds it either on DVD or the NBC website, so they will be like me and can not wait for season 2. Please give this show another chance - renew it and reshow it over the summer on a consistent day and time so others can find this gem.
Job security for Texas actors. Besides, the show is just good. However, let's be more realistic in casting high school students....27 year olds for 17/18?
It is very well written and made. The audience will grow as more people see that it is not just a sports show. It crosses a lot of boundaries and deals with real issues in a more realistic way. Great show!
YES!
this is my favorite show and it has to be renewed!
As the son of a high-school football coach, I literally spent my childhood around high schools and their football teams, both on the sidelines and as a participant (as a quarterback, no less!). So I feel uniquely qualified to attest to the realism of the show's plots and character interactions. It's so real it's almost scary--which is why it is so good! I sincerely hope NBC chooses to renew FNL for another season; it has all the ingredients to be its next great drama.
The best, smartest, most addictive show in a decade. FNL is what television should be. It has brought me back to the small screen, so much so, I've spread the word and friends and colleagues, who didn't want to watch in the beginning are now huge fans. I watch every episode, and then watch it again from the website.
If you want to sell me a Toyota, you'll have to renew FNL for another season!
FNL is without doubt the finest show on television. To cancel this show would be an insult to all intelligent televsion viewers.
Being a mom to three young football boys Friday Night Lights became a good family TV show all of us could watch, which these days is becoming harder and harder to find on TV. Kids love the excitement of the football games while the parents enjoy the drama the show has to offer. Its amazing to me this show has low ratings, everyone I know has watches and loves this show. Hopefully NBC will renew next season and give us all something to look forward to next season.
Solid Acting + Unconventional-Yet-Perfect Music Choices + Relatable Situations = Best New Show of This Season
Friday Night Lights is one of the best series I have seen. Every episode continues the development of characters that have to deal with the whirlwind of good and bad things that come their way. While it is set in small-town Texas, the issues are the same all over the country: jealousy, compassion, loyatly, betrayal, loss of innocence, and on and on. The very same trials and joys are found in small-town, Ohio, just with a different accent. It's about time there was a contemporary show not set in an urban center on one coast or the other.
All of the actors and actresses are superb, nailing their parts time after time. Keep up the good work, and keep the show on the air.
Go, Panthers!
It is the best show on television hands down!!
Absolutely. The characters are real and the stories compelling. FNL is the only TV show I watch regularly--and I don't even like football!
