Best show on TV
This is great news for fans of quality TV. by Rev. Slappy	Mar 6th, 2008 02:28:27 AM
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??

Swayze DOES indeed have Cancer. by EvilWizardGlick	Mar 6th, 2008 07:31:24 AM
Yep. But his PR people claim it isn't so bad. Sure, heard that before.
Congrats FNL fans! by gotilk	Mar 6th, 2008 08:55:18 AM
Now if they'd just do something similar for Journeyman.
This is nice to see. by codymr	Mar 6th, 2008 09:07:27 AM
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?!
heck yes by NerdHooligan	Mar 6th, 2008 09:34:22 AM
that's the best news of the week, maybe month. the world needs more tim riggins.
great news by smutpeddlar	Mar 6th, 2008 09:42:36 AM
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
Awesome. Top Five Show on the Tube by cowboyone	Mar 6th, 2008 10:53:47 AM
Clear eyes, strong hearts, can't lose!
ack that picture! by Mazzke	Mar 6th, 2008 10:54:39 AM
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?
Can't blame NBC... by yanksno1	Mar 6th, 2008 11:20:30 AM
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.
A first? by Wheel99	Mar 6th, 2008 12:42:03 PM
That I actually get in on the ground floor of a show that I like that doesnt get cancelled.
Season 2 DVD by shoe1985	Mar 6th, 2008 12:42:30 PM
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.
As for why it doesn't do better. by Wheel99	Mar 6th, 2008 12:44:42 PM
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.
Come on, NBC: Clear eyes, full hearts by abcdefz7	Mar 6th, 2008 02:02:32 PM
Please baby, please baby, please baby, baby baby please!
Commercials by Rustle	Mar 6th, 2008 02:19:17 PM
I wonder if it'll be comercial free on DirecTV. That'd be cool.. Here's hoping this is more than rumor..
very happy about this by Charlie Murphy	Mar 6th, 2008 03:12:13 PM
although season two only occasionally was as good as season 1.
And yet FX cancels Sunny in Philly..... by 2for2true	Mar 6th, 2008 03:54:53 PM
How sad.
For Christ's Sake... by godson	Mar 6th, 2008 03:58:29 PM
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 am not a FNL fan but... by Maestro610	Mar 6th, 2008 04:13:35 PM
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.
Hey 2fortrue by evolution1085	Mar 6th, 2008 04:14:33 PM
Where are you getting your info from? Cuz the good folks at wikipedia and http://tinyurl.com/2e3vne beg to differ pwnage ftw
sounds good by johnnysunshine	Mar 6th, 2008 05:12:43 PM
I don't have direct tv, but as long as I get to see it somewhere, any deal is great news!
At least there are 26 of us that are very happy about this by Executor	Mar 6th, 2008 07:54:44 PM
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.
Sunny hasn't been cancelled. by The Selecter	Mar 7th, 2008 03:49:54 AM
There's going to be a S4 with 12 episodes.
Make that 13... by The Selecter	Mar 7th, 2008 03:51:28 AM
which is good, 'cause I think they stretched it a little too thin in S3.
Sunny Season 4 by stuntman mikey	Mar 7th, 2008 05:43:56 PM
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.
I have never got into this show. by Cotton McKnight	Mar 7th, 2008 07:17:40 PM
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.
nearly had a heart attack when someone said Sunny was canned by Charlie Murphy	Mar 8th, 2008 08:11:43 AM
thanks for clearing it up guys, that show is sweet. i've yet to see any of season three up in canada, though.
