Members Sylph Posted March 21, 2008 Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 »Friday Night« producer is »optimistic«By Derrik J. Lang, AP Entertainment Writer | March 20, 2008LOS ANGELES --"Friday Night Lights" just may score another season.Executive producer Jason Katims said he's "incredibly optimistic" about a third season for the drama, which has been in limbo since the writers strike ended."There's no deal yet for the show," Katims said Wednesday at the William S. Paley Television Festival. "But we are being incredibly optimistic that's going to happen and happen soon."Although a critical hit, ratings were low for the show, which depicts small-town Texas life where high school football is king.When viewers last saw the Dillon Panthers, the team was gearing up for the playoffs. Because of the writers strike, which halted most TV production, seven of the 22 episodes NBC ordered for season two weren't produced.Fans have fought to keep the show on the air, launching http://www.SaveFridayNightLights.tv and asking viewers to send donations to fill NBC entertainment chief Ben Silverman's mailbox with miniature plastic footballs."I think the answer is going to be pretty soon," Katims said. "I have a feeling we're two or three weeks away from knowing."A spokeswoman for NBC said Thursday the network had no comment.Katims said a third season would likely pick up after the planned events of season two. However, the series would integrate unused story lines into the new season, which he said could begin filming as soon as July.http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2008/03/20/friday_night_producer_is_optimistic?mode=PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted February 14, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted February 14, 2009 Smash's last episode was so good. I love Coach Taylor's relationship with his players. Loved how he praised Smash to the university coach.....and how sad was that last scene between them? Damn, that was good. The show is getting about 4 million viewers on NBC. Don't know if it went well on DirectTv or not, but I hope we get another season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted March 31, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted March 31, 2009 Woohoo! It's official! FNL is one of the best written shows on tv right now and so I hope Jason Katims and Jeffrey Reiner comes back too - they have projects in the works, so they might not come back.

Members All My Shadows Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 Fantastic! I was feeling a little blue, thinking for sure that they'd save it for the summer. I wish they'd have just put it on USA instead of DirecTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
