| Warning! A Show We Love May Be Doomed (And You Need An Intervention) |
| Written by Kelly | |
 This endangered series is not Heroes or The Office or 30 Rock or Lost (though all the people above are huge, self-proclaimed fans of this series), but rather NBC's phenomenal drama Friday Night Lights.Here's the bottom line: The last prestrike episode of Friday Night Lights
airs tomorrow (Friday) at 9 p.m. on NBC, and if you don't watch and
tell everyone you know to watch, it's possible the series will be
canceled and you will hate yourself later when you realize what you
have done. We want to save you from that suffering! We want to save you
from yourself!
You may be asking, "If this show is so good, why is it in danger of
getting the boot?" Well, fans of this series—including all the fine
people in the photo above!—know that Friday Night Lights is
one of the best-written and best-acted productions ever to grace the
small screen; however, due to a lack of support from the Peacock
network (these quotes from NBC president Ben Silverman will make you shudder) and nightmare time slots (first against American Idol and now in the kiss-of-death slot on Fridays), this series has yet to garner the massive audience it so richly deserves.
It should also be mentioned that the series is a big hit among DVR owners. According to Nielsen reports, Friday Night Lights scored the third-biggest jump of all prime-time series in its "live" audience vs. DVR playback within a week (38 percent). The cold, hard truth: Reps for NBC Universal Television confirm that while the original order for the current FNL season was for 22 episodes, and they have only shot 15, the future of the series has yet to be determined. "The first question is whether they will finish out the seven episodes of this season," says a studio rep. "Which will be decided after we know when the strike will end. And then the second question is whether they will get picked up for a third season, which we will find out in May." Other Peacock-net-savvy insiders are saying more alarming things—spanning from "I hear it definitely won't be back this season" to "I hear it definitely won't be back at all" to "FNL is already doomed." Gulp. But Lazarus can raise the dead: CBS saved Jericho, and Family Guy came back, too. So, we're keeping hope alive, and here's what you can do right now to get your very own FNL addiction and help save the show.
Three Easy Steps to FNL Addiction 1. Watch the Friday Night Lights Finale Tomorrow Night at 9 p.m. on NBC: You don't have to know anything in advance. This is not Lost; there's no complicated mythology to learn. If you've ever been a person, known a person or wondered about becoming a person, you'll get Friday Night Lights. 2. Watch Other Episodes: They are available on nbc.com's Episode Rewind or in the season-one DVD (a ridiculous $18.99 on Amazon.com for 22 episodes), and every single click and purchase counts. You don't even have to watch in order. If you just want to watch one to test the water, I recommend the season-one eps "Full Hearts" (Matt & Julie's first date), "Black Eyes & Broken Hearts" (I dare you not to cry at the end!), "Blinders" (the powder puff game), "Mud Bowl" (it's what it sounds like)...Hell, just watch one, and then good luck not watching them all. 3. Spread the Word! Email this article to everyone you know who needs help in seeing the Lights! Let them know you are concerned for their own well-being and that you will help them do whatever it takes to get on board with this amazing show. Then wear your Panthers number 7 jersey with pride, try to keep your drool over Taylor Kitsch to a minimum, and never forget Coach Taylor's motto... "Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can't Lose!" Now get out there and start loving Friday Night Lights and spreading the word...Before it's too late.
