I love the show's characters and the story lines. It is the only show on Friday night that I will watch. I would hope that they would find the right place for it and bring it back next year. Please consider!!!!!

My whole family watches this show. We also DVR it and watch it either Sat morning or Sunday evening together. It is extremely well written and you don't even have to be really into football to enjoy the show. It is a part of the show, but there's so much more. Please don't cancel it, we love it!

After waiting patiently for FNL to come back after the writer's strike, I have finally consulted the internet. I cannot believe that canceling the show is even considered. It was a resounding hit the first season, when it was televised on Wednesday. Moving the broadcast to Friday night when so many of the viewers are at football games was a terrible mistake. I am 54 years old and watch only three shows regularly without fail. "Medium", "Friday Night Lights", and "Cold Case". I had begun to think of FNL as a modern day "Father Knows Best". Kyle Chandler, besides being "eye candy" is an extremely talented actor. There were a few objectionable scenes, primarily because the networks don't think they can make a series without sexual contact of the characters. Even so the content and the manner in which the modern day issues were resolved were believable and taught morals. The game shows and the reality shows are a complete waste of time. Please bring FNL back for those of us who enjoy acting. I am not sure what "101" is or if I have it.

Let's see, NBC moves Friday Night Lights to the night when the people who would most appreciate the show are where... at the high school football game!!! D@mn, NBC, what kind of logic is that?

Jack....you say it will be shown on 101 will it be free or do we have to pay for it ?

Jack, I modified the post so that hopefully that information would stand out more (it was there, but I guess people are missing it!).

WTH? It's not canceled. It'll be back for a 13-episode third season on Oct. 1 on DirecTV, Channel 101. NBC is going to air the third season in February of 2009.

I can not believe this show has been cancled. Everyone I talk to has watched this show from the very first show. This show was real to life and connected with people of all ages. My son would record it and have the guys from his football team come over and watch it on the weekends. It really doesn't matter what night it comes on just bring it back! This is a show we could not wait to sit down and watch every week. We loved it!

Addendum

The show is one of the best I have ever seen. I looked forward to the next week when it came on...Again, society ought to take a look at itself..when the trash outrules this

I think it is disgusting. Finally, we have a decent show...but no the viewers would rather watch trash...reality shows

Please don't cancel FNL, it's a great cast, the small town but big dreams story line shows winning attitudes and normal everyday challenges we all go through. I'm looking forward to the new season. Good stuff.

Hey Kristy, don't drag Moonlight into this. Just because your show is getting the ax doesn't mean that Moonlight deserves to be hacked at. It comes down to what the majority of people want to watch. I'm not going to diss FNL just because it has potential Moonlight fans even though Moonlight is on the bubble.

I just started watching this show during season two. I caught season one from NBC.com because its a great way to watch the show when you have time plus there are only like a few commericals compared to the twenty minutes they show if you actually watched it on TV. I think any show on Friday and Saturday night is going to do poorly because people go out on those nights and do not sit at home to watch TV. Plus Sporting events will always win on friday and saturday no matter your age because high schools are played on friday nights or people watch and go to Pro Games. Hello TV executives. Oh yeah and im getting kind of sick of Reality TV. what happened to actually shows??????

I cannot believe FNL is being canceled!!!It is a great show in a screwed up time slot. I am in my mid 50's and love the show. I generally go out on Friday's but I stay home so I do not miss this show. Yes, I could tape it but I don't. I have not stayed home to view a t.v. program since Dallas. That should tell the nitwits that make the decisions on what stays and what goes think twice.Good lord get rid of Trump and keep Friday Night Lights.
