Friday Night Lights - Page 2

I just saw both seasons of this show and loved it - the acting and writing are as good as anything on TV, and while a few of the story arcs were subpar, I could not stop watching. I can't believe Coach and his wife haven't been recognized with an Emmy, and Buddy Garrity is legendary. This show deserves more attention. I'm really glad it's coming back for a third season.

I really enjoy the show too. I thought season 2 was a little down from season 1, but I'll be watching season 3 for sure.

Pizoi · 10-17-2008, 04:01 AM

Just a heads up, the first three episodes of season 3 have aired on DirecTV. I've only watched the first two so far, but they've been really good.

I tend to hate drama type shows like this, but for some reason this show really catches my attention. I caught the first three episodes of season 3 and it looks like the show is shaping up for another good season. It will be interesting to see if they'll try to add new cast to keep a fourth season a possibility or close it out this season as the majority of their cast would no longer be in high school.

I've been following this show since season 1, and really like it. Although I am a big American Football fan, thats not really what the show is about at it's core. If you've ever lived in a small town in Texas, this show is dead on in terms of the hero worship kids get for being football players.

Anyway, been watching season 3 and I have overall liked it pretty well, but there are a few things about it that have really bothered me. Albeit, not enough to quit watching.

I didn't like the way season 2 ended. It was kind of cut-off without any real denouement. One of the main story arcs in season 2 revolves around Smash Williams, and without spoiling anything, I kind of felt betrayed when I saw him show up in season 3. Also, the whole Jason Street subplot was completely dropped, etc.

This will probably be it's final season. I don't think theres enough interest in the show for it's characters to change hands. That meaning, you can only play High School football for so many years.

I seen episode 3 on direct tv and they showed the previews for next week and the Street storyline was not dropped. He will be on the next episode.

A little late to the party but I have been streaming the first season off of Netflix, what a great show very enjoyable.

DIRECTV and NBC Universal have extended their partnership to produce two more seasons of Friday Night Lights. All 26 episodes of the fourth and fifth seasons of the critically acclaimed and award-winning drama series will air first exclusively on The 101 Network, only on DIRECTV.

This is the 2nd year its been like that. If it wasnt for Direct tv this show would have been canceled by now. From what i hear, direct tv is putting up alot of money to fund the show to keep going.

Pizoi · 10-13-2009, 02:44 PM

I think they're going to end up showing on NBC again, but not until much later in the year (October or something), just like last season.

Rathmort · 10-29-2009, 12:03 PM

Heads up: S4E01 aired last night.

Faille · 10-29-2009, 03:26 PM

good to have it back, but I think they went overboard with how crap the setup at east dillon is.

Rathmort · 10-29-2009, 03:51 PM

Ye, was pretty disappointed tbh. Looking forward to some kickass inspirational speeches from Coach Taylor and some training montages to Explosions in the Sky soundtrack tho.

Shutup · 10-29-2009, 06:33 PM

Eh, I liked the episode myself. Can't wait to see how the 2 school situation plays out. Gives a new spin on the show instead of it just being about a powerhouse trying to win a state championship every season.

Haka Shakamalakabalsaka · 11-02-2009, 12:22 PM

I enjoyed the first episode, although I agree the sad state of Dillon East seemed a bit overdone. Raccoons in the lockers?

They've really turned the other QB into a huge dick like his dad suddenly, I thought he might be getting better.

No mention of Kendra or lots of the old characters yet, I wonder if we'll see them or not.
