FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Getting Third Season On DirecTV?? (Then NBC??)
I am – Hercules!!
It looks like a third season of “Friday Night Lights” will air first on DirecTV (Channel 101 I guess?) then on NBC, at least if the rumors are true.
Deadline Hollywood claims it has a source, but Deadline Hollywood’s sources are wrong sometimes. Mike Ausiello at TV Guide hasn’t been able to confirm anything at NBC.
Find the Deadline Hollywood story here.
(Thanks to BourneAgain for the heads up.)
$20.99: Season Two!!
$5 Coen Bros!!
Box Sets 50% Off!!

Best show on TV
-
They don't give Peabodies away for nothing. One thing does bother me though: Why does NBC/Universal expect people to buy the season 2 DVDs, seeing as the season has no ending??
-
Donate now!
-
please be true
-
i told real that would happen...fuckin spoilers everywhere...but i am waiting till sunday in order to experience the loss of the greatest show with lots of people...its better to mourn in a crowd
-
Yep. But his PR people claim it isn't so bad.
Sure, heard that before. -
Now if they'd just do something similar for Journeyman.
-
Have not read the original source material, but thought the feature film was one of the surprises of that year. It is one of the few Book > Film > TV adaptations that works well. I can't for the life of me figure out why this show does not do better?! Although I think the cast is a bit too pretty in the TV version, it does have the hunk/T&A factor covered. Perhaps the "affluent demo" doesn't want to watch a show about football meatheads and the "average viewer" doesn't want to see a show mirroring their own lives... I can't figure it - why can CSI or Las Vegas or Prison Break find and audience, but quality like FNL struggles?!
-
that's the best news of the week, maybe month. the world needs more tim riggins.
-
i want to get the nfl package anyway,now i have a really good reason to get direct tv,hopefully jericho will get the same treatment..anyone watch jericho the other night?..wow,it was a heartbreaker
-
Clear eyes, strong hearts, can't lose!
-
I hope this is true. This is definitely a superb show.
Man, that cover for the season 2 DVD is ATROCIOUS. Could they have chosen more inappropriate expressions for each character? -
if they tank it. Looks like they're really trying to make this show work which I give them props for. I was sorta hoping they'd just sell it to ESPN and they'd take it over, but at least this is a solution as well. A very interesting one indeed. Hopefully the airing on D* will be in HD.
-
That I actually get in on the ground floor of a show that I like that doesnt get cancelled.
-
Hopefully it has better features than the first one.
As for season 3, bring it on. This show is one of the best on right now, too bad people prefer reality shows. -
It needs a better time slot. This show should have been given ER's Thursday night slot and what passes for ER these days should have been moved to Tuesdays. People would have watched out of curiosity about the show that they bumped for ER alone.
-
Please baby, please baby, please baby, baby baby please!
-
I wonder if it'll be comercial free on DirecTV. That'd be cool.. Here's hoping this is more than rumor..
-
although season two only occasionally was as good as season 1.
-
How sad.
-
Please be true. I came in late to the series but have been very faithful in spreading the good word. Please NBC don't give up on us.
-
I have to say that this kind of news excites me because if Directv is going to start picking up series that are cancelled or at least footing enough of a subsidy to keep them on the air for another season by having first run exclusivity... think of the possibilities. There could be hope for other shows, I'd love to see Journeyman back in midseason if this experiment works out. I hope along with the rest of you that FNL will be brought back in this capacity because it may serve other rating starved series as well.

Where are you getting your info from? Cuz the good folks at wikipedia and http://tinyurl.com/2e3vne beg to differ
pwnage ftw -
I don't have direct tv, but as long as I get to see it somewhere, any deal is great news!
-
and 2for2true, re: Sunny in Philly: I hadn't heard that, but the show was shit last season. And I thought S1 and 2 were some of the funniest half hours of TV ever, rivaling Curb at points. S3 was terrible.
-
There's going to be a S4 with 12 episodes.
-
which is good, 'cause I think they stretched it a little too thin in S3.
-
great article up on ew.com about season 4 with Rob M. It will be 13 episodes and looks to feature the return of "Day Man/Night Man"
Season 4 premieres in the fall and the season 3 dvd set which will be fully loaded will probably be out just before the S4 preem. -
Can't say why. I know it's good, but I haven't really given it a chance. There are millions of us out there- I am glad there might be a third season so we can finally tune in.
