Hopefully you get in some more episodes Ken. Good Luck!!
The good news, according to NBC entertainment chief Ben Silverman, is that the Austin-based drama series “Friday Night Lights” has been renewed for a third season.
But NBC is holding the show until midseason, adding it to the schedule in February, following the Super Bowl. It will air 8 p.m. Fridays.
Subscribers to DirectTV, however, can see the 13 new episodes sooner, four months sooner to be exact. Thanks to a production deal that includes exclusive first-run on the satellite service, DirectTV will debut “FNL” on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
That means nonsatellite folks will have to go all summer and fall without our Dillon Panthers — an especially difficult task in the fall, when Texan minds turn to football.
But late is better than not at all, so we can look forward to seeing all our favorite “FNL” cast members lined up for coffee at Jo’s on South Congress Avenue in a couple of months when they return … just in time for blazing heat to accompany filming those grueling football scenes.
