Is Friday night lights done for the season or are they taking off a bit for idol?

"The show returns next Wednesday (3/14), and the first season ends April 11. NBC has posted every episode of "Friday Night Lights" at www.nbc.com for people who need to catch up."

final 4 of the series or of the season?

Kevin Reilly, head of programming for NBC recently said;

"OK, to put it baldly, can you characterize “FNL’s” chances for renewal?
[Pause] “Well, it depends if you want me to put my emotional hat on, my lover of TV hat on -- it’s 100 percent. If you want me to put my business hat on, it’s 55 percent. Let all those factors weigh in, and [its chances] are somewhere in between.”

Its a drama centering around a small town that lives and dies with their football team, its not a football show.

Watching it from the beginning and knowing the characters makes it much more interesting.

Great scene with Jason and Matt in tonight's episode.

Totally agree...I got a bit welled up in that scene...you could maybe glimpse something Jason could do in the next four years...be a QB coach or something, also seeing him bond again with his buddies was awesome.

Another great episode.

Lila though went a bit nuts at the end.

He is SOOOO going to be a good football coach. Giving Matt tips and such just gave his life meaning again.

One of, if not the, best shows on TV right now.

Tim is a freaking stud...I hope he stays in Dillon next year.

another great episode

gee - it's a drama about a small town - football happens to be the tie that binds - other than that it's just people living - being a country boy I can somewhat relate (although upstate NY thankfully isn't small town texas)

the characters are real, I love the way the program is shot and if you watch any of the bonus material on NBC they throw a lot of surpises and twists at the cast and just film their reactions to get authenticity

street & matt was awesome - i also dig the tattoo chick and it's obvious how layla is trying to destroy the world around her by controlling too much and eventually driving everyone away

also really enjoyed the scenes of tyra and her mother

was great seeing street bond with his boys and seeing him get shunned by the clerk

I didn't at first, but now do a lot. It's clear that she likes street for street and not for who he once was, which he always wonders about with Lyla.

I liked her from the start mostly because Lila annoyed me after awhile...even though she's insanely hot.

But I agree...I cheered last night when Street kissed the tattoo chick...good to see someone who understands him.

Great episode, great show.

I think D-Dogg might be correct when he says "One of, if not the, best shows on TV right now.".

Wow. What an episode. This is the best show on TV for 2006-2007. Easily.

The attempted rape. :thud:

Landry might be one of the best written characters on TV.

CooCoo BiPolar is going to go Remi on them all.

The van got dusty when they camera panned the crowd for Serecin's Grams, etc.

I love how none of the jerseys were dirty at the end of the game. Mom uses Tide with Bleach!
