FNL renewed!!
This came out of the blue: "Friday Night Lights", the best show on TV, has been renewed for a third season! It has to do with some kind of deal between DirecTV and NBC. I'm very excited. It's a full 13-week season. Who knows what direction it will take?
This is from the LA Times article:
"The 13-episode season will air first on DirecTV in the fall and then run on NBC in midseason, probably in its current Friday night time slot, said David Nevis, president of Imagine Television, which produces the show. NBC is expected to officially announce the deal in a presentation to advertisers in New York this afternoon."
"Nevins declined to say how much money DirecTV is forking over for the rights but characterized it as "a lot of money, significantly more than if we just did second runs on a cable network." Nevins remarked that he wished a deal like it had been possible three years ago when Fox was forced to cancel "Arrested Development," another show with a small but loyal audience."
