Save Friday Night Lights

The NBC TV show was never a ratings hit, but is the third most TIVO'd show on television. Because of the strike, seven of the 22 episodes NBC ordered for season two weren’t made, and fans are left wondering if they will ever see the light of day.

We were slow to catch on to Friday Night Lights because we assumed it was just a long, drawn-out series version of Varsity Blues or something. But after watching a couple of episodes, we were hooked on this high school drama. And the Explosions in the Sky soundtrack is pretty awesome.
