The "Smash having to go to Whitmore" was unrealistic. He still could have gone anywhere he wanted to if he was good enough.
I hope we hear something about the fate of the show in the next few weeks. I would think we would. |

Time for the new FNL Rumor O' The Week:
According to Ain't It Cool News, NBC might keep FNL on for a 3rd season by sharing it with other channels. There might be a possible deal that would give DirecTV channel 101 first-run broadcasts of FNL before they air on NBC. As usual, take these rumors with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made. |

Confirmation?? This from Kristen @ E!
Breaking: Friday Night Lights May Live On! Categories: friday night lights Welcome to the news that just might make your day--no, month--if you're a fan of Friday Night Lights. Inside sources confirm to me that NBC Universal (the studio which makes FNL) is currently talking to various networks about the idea of sharing the show's third season among more than one channel, in an effort to save the series from cancellation and broaden its audience. Those channels in discussion include the CW, TNT, DirecTV and a place called "Comcast Entertainment Group" which, hmmm...sounds familiar because, oh yeah, they sign my checks. Both E! and G4 fall under the Comcast umbrella. And in what I can only describe as a swell of pure, unadulterated pride I must tell you: I know first-hand that our CEO Ted Harbert is a big fan of Friday Night Lights and is very much on the front lines of trying to help save this series. (A fact that has now surpassed "Bagel Thursday" as my number-one reason to love this workplace.) So what exactly does this potential expansion deal mean? The intricacies have yet to be hammered out, but the general idea is that NBC would first-run its episodes of Friday Night Lights and then other network(s) would pay a repurposing fee to air repeats at other times during the week. This plan could be a huge benefit to FNL and its fans because: 1. It will bring Friday Night Lights to new viewers who have not yet seen it. 2. Those viewers will undoubtedly fall in love with FNL and start watching the original on NBC. 3. The show could finally receive the ratings and mainstream awareness it so richly deserves. Hello, Emmy for Connie Britton! Hello, GQ cover for Taylor Kitsch! In short, Friday Night Lights, one of the best series ever to air in television, could be saved. And not only in a (sorry) Jericho way which pleases the fans and critics, but truly saved, with the potential for greatly improved ratings and a bottom-line success story for NBC's higher-ups to brag about. So what now? We are currently working on a bigger-picture plan for you fans to help save Friday Night Lights in a very real and concrete way. But for the time being, sit tight, say a little prayer and remember... Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can't lose. |

Awesome. But doesn't it already air repeats on some other channel. I remember catching reruns of the first season on Saturdays on some other channel last
year.

Sometimes Bravo would play it and right before the start of this past season Bravo played a full on marathon.

This is really interesting -- yesterday, the self-aggrandizing schmuck from TV Guide was saying FNL's done:
Linkie via TV Tattle. Hmmm... Riggins as Wolverine? Dark and brooding? Check. Works out a lot? Check. Hates ferrets and other badger-like creature? Uh, got a problem here. |

Riggins will be playing Gambit in the new Wolverine film
This letter was in Matt Roush's column today, I just liked what they had to say:
Question: I don't actually have a question, I just want to express this to someone who might actually understand. I am not usually one to
cry, especially over movies or TV shows, but at the end of the last (known) episode of Friday Night Lights, I bawled. Unlike any other TV show, this one affects me
personally. I feel emotionally invested in Matt's future, and I just know he will become a strong, kind man and will be a wonderful husband and father
someday. Tyra will be strong enough to stand on her own in a way her own mother never could. Smash will make his mama proud as he excels in the smaller
football program and earns his degree, and the day he graduates from college, she will be waving and cheering and taking dozens of pictures. Landry will
always be a little dorky, but he, too, will grow up to be a good man, dedicated to his family. Years from now, Coach and Tami will still be best friends
and lovers, and Julie will get past her teenage angst, realize that her parents were almost always right (as happens to many of us as we grow older) and
raise her own children with as much love as she had, with frequent visits to Grandpa and Grandma's house and a lot of fun times with cool Aunt Gracie.
We may not get to see all of this happen, but I'm thankful that we got to see as much as we did.- Ashley S.
Matt Roush: I end on this note because the first show I watched upon returning from my winter getaway was the premature finale of Friday
Night Lights. I had a similar reaction: an emotional meltdown, followed by reflection on how much I had come to know and care about these characters.
Friday Night Lights is at its best less a conventional TV show than a rare slice-of-life portrait of America, and it lends itself to us projecting
the best fates possible for these terrific characters. I'd add to this list the notion that Lila and Riggins would be the next incarnation of Coach and
Tami. She'll straighten Tim out (once she sheds that Gilmore Girls interloper) and he'll loosen her up, and they too will go on to great
things, using the lessons learned from the mishaps of their rocky adolescence to shape the next generation of Dillon Panthers. Hey, if NBC won't give
us another season of Friday Night Lights, let's just make up our own!

Report: "Friday Night Lights"
lives! -- thanks to NBC & DirecTV
 Nikki Finke reports that "FNL" is on the verge of
being renewed for a 3rd season thanks to a deal with DirecTV that makes financial sense to NBC. "The answer," Finke reports, "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."

From TVGuide.com
That's what my sources over at the Peacock are telling me in response to a Deadline Hollywood Daily story claiming NBC has picked up Friday Night Lights after partnering with DirecTV. That said, the buzz is that an agreement has been reached and is essentially just awaiting a signature. To which I say, Ohymygodthankyoujesus! What would an NBC/DirecTV combo look like? I'm not 100 percent certain, but I'm guessing it would be similar to the Law & Order: CI deal NBC brokered with USA, only in this case, FNL would first air on an exclusive DirecTV channel followed by an encore broadcast on NBC. Bottom line: Ohymygodthankyoujesus! |
