I am – Hercules!!


The last episode of “Friday Night Lights” completed subsequent to the writers’ strike airs tonight. Could it be the last episode ever, even if the writers head back to work in the days or months ahead?

NBC’s old management greenlit the series' second season just before new chief Ben Silverman took over the network and starting stocking primetime with “Phenomenon,” “Celebrity Apprentice” and “American Gladiators.” And then there was all that "force majeure" business we kept hearing about.

In any event, the network offers a description:

"MAY THE BEST MAN WIN"

02/08/2008 (09:00PM - 10:00PM) (Friday) : A DAY OF SURPRISES—Brian "Smash" Williams (Gaius Charles) is determined to get a football scholarship to college despite the recent events that have transpired. However, Brian is very shocked when the most unlikely place offers him what may be the opportunity of his life. Tami Taylor (Connie Britton) runs into her ex-boyfriend from high school, a big real estate mogul, and he decides to stay in Dillon for a few days. A few days proves to be too long as Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) begins to feel a bit jealous. Elsewhere, Jason Street (Scott Porter) hears the biggest news of his life since his accident and must decide if he is willing to change his life completely. Meanwhile, Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) continues his pursuit of Lyla (Minka Kelly) by getting his own radio show at the Christian radio station. Lyla seems to be enjoying her current relationship with her Christian boyfriend as she goes with him to meet his family. Jesse Plemons, Adrianne Palicki, Aimee Teegarden and Zach Gilford also star.
