Another show going into its third season this month is Friday Night Lights, a terrific series about a football coach and his family in a small Texas town. This award winning program starring Kyle Chandler as Coach Eric Taylor and Connie Britton as his wife is one of the best written shows on TV today. And while we continually hear stories about the "last season" of this show, it has survived in no small part because NBC knows this story is a gem even if the following has not been significant. One thing I do not understand is why FNL started last October on Direct TV. I am sure it had something to do with money, but it was very confusing to fans and a bit too exclusive for those of us without Direct TV. If this is what is necessary for the show to survive, then I guess this is a reasonable price to pay, but I just don't remember this with another TV program. Oh well, enjoy the show. It returns to NBC Friday, January 16, at 9 EST/8 CST.
