The "Holy Smokes, the network finally got something right" Award goes to...

NBC, for renewing Friday Night Lights for 2 more years!  The two seasons will debut on Directv first, NBC second.  They did this with this past season, and I love it.  Not only do we get to see the show "early", but Directv also shows FNL without commercials.  Believe it or not, this makes a big difference on how you watch the show and feel the emotional punches.  Watching a powerful scene and then watching 2 1/2 minutes of commercials for Jet-Dry (with the creepy talking dishwasher) or auto insurance kinda takes the wind out of the sails, you know?

Woo!  We'll finally get to see what it will be like for Coach over at East Dillon High.
