Friday Night Lights Gets Two More Downs!

From IMDB:

The ratings-challenged but critically praised Friday Night Lights got another new lease on life Monday
as NBC and DirecTV confirmed that they would renew the series for two more
seasons, but with just 13 episodes in each season. As part of the deal, DirecTV
will air the episodes first, commercial free. NBC will then run the episodes
afterwards. David Nevins, president of Imagine TV, which produces the
series, told Daily Variety: "This show always seems to find new ground about
what's possible in television, both creatively and what we're can do on the
business end. ... It's really a symbol of the different ways that good
television can be made these days."
