The Friday Night Lights Will Still Glow!!!
Yes, folks, FNL has been SAVED!!!!! (Can you tell by the number of exclamation marks that this is the best TV news we've had in eons?) I'm SO happy. As I reported earlier, the deal that was in the works with DirectTV has been struck, so season 3 will be 13 episodes long, and DirectTV gets to run them first, in October. Then the episodes will re-air on NBC in early 2009. Because the season will be so short, it's inevitable that some of the storylines we've been following will be dropped, which sucks. It's only 13, which is disappointing, but it's better than nothing. So I'm taking this as good news. You can read more here.
