"Friday Night Lights"

November 19, 2009

So I was watching the latest episode of "Friday Night Lights" on my little laptop, via the press feed from DirecTV, with less than perfect video and a big DirecTV logo on the screen much of the time. And I was so drawn into it and touched by it that I said I small thank-you [...]

More Notes: "Friday Night Lights," "Coal Country"

September 10, 2009

My latest feature on "Coal Country," the locally produced documentary, is here.
Lots of intriguing details about Season 4 of "FNL" in this release from DirecTV, which begins airing the new episodes on Oct. 28. (NBC will carry them in 2010, probably in summer.) From the DirecTV announcement:
Viewers will meet the East Dillon Lions when the [...]

"Friday Night Lights" Returns in October

August 5, 2009

If you have DirecTV, that is.
When NBC announced its 2009-10 plans in May, it said that "FNL" would be back on its air in Summer 2010. Apparently that was reaffirmed today on the TV critics' press tour, which I have been following via the blogs, FB posts and Tweets of my colleagues attending.
But, as you [...]

More "Friday Night Lights"

March 31, 2009

I know, it was all over the news yesterday. But NBC released the official announcement today, and I have posted it after the jump. DirecTV again, two seasons, 13 episodes each. And while I am reluctant to look too closely at this gift horse, I have to think that (a) things are so lousy for [...]

January 14, 2009

Premieres tonight on DirecTV
As "Friday Night Lights" finishes its third-season run on DirecTV tonight (and then begins replays on NBC on Friday), DirecTV launches a piece from the vault, "Wonderland." The show was created and produced by Peter Berg, who also brought "Friday Night Lights" to the movie screen and later TV, and aired very [...]

Catching Up With "Friday Night Lights"

November 12, 2008

As you most likely know, "Friday Night Lights" survived for this season through a deal with DirecTV. Under that agreement, the satellite-program service has gotten the first telecast of "FNL's" current-season episodes, with the episodes showing up on NBC in 2009. I wrote a post back when the season premiere aired, but recently I had [...]

Welcome Back, "Friday Night Lights"

October 1, 2008

Third season begins at 9 tonight on DirecTV
I watched the third-season premiere of "Friday Night Lights" after watching the second-season premiere of "Private Practice." While I didn't dislike "PP" (see previous post below), the viewing still showed the difference between an all right show and a very good one. …
