I just saw on TV.com that Direct TV will again fund with NBC the production of Friday Night Lights. The best part is that we will have two seasons of 13 episodes a piece. Direct TV will do the first run and NBC will follow.
This is good news as this series is a very high quality show. Excellent in scripts and acting. I am a big fan of Kyle Chandler who plays Coach Taylor, loved him in Early Edition and have followed his career since them. He also made a very memorable appearance in Grey's Anatomy as a bomb disposal police officer, who unfortunately (or fortunately come to think of it given how dopey the scripts have been on Grey's Anatomy) was killed when his story arc ended.
I also like doing series in 12-13 episodes runs. It seems that a lot of good shows get hurt when you go for 22 episodes each year. For example, House would be improved if they would just focus on 13 good scripts a year. 24 is the only series that makes good use of 24 episodes.
So I am happy to see this show saved and now am looking forward to the season finale this Friday. I don't know how many people actually read this blog, but rent the DVD sets of Friday Night Lights and discover a great series.
Oh well.
