YAY! I just bought the first season on DVD to bolster confidence. I hope they get a third season. In a timeslot (or network) they deserve.

This is good news! I’m so happy. This is truly great show and deserves to be scene. I hope it’s all true!

My question is who will air the episodes first. Cause you know how USA network aired Law & Order :CI months before NBC what will NBC/Direct do? I have comcast so I hope NBC gets it first cause I hate to have storylines spoiled.

But I’m not going to complain because this is total happiness for me. I love love love this show and am amazed why more people don’t watch it. It’s well written, well acted and has this heart to it. I feel for these people like no other characters from a TV show It really is like watching a slice of life!

Thanks NBC!!! (knock on wood)

BHcolin,

Ausiello thinks that DirecTV will air it first, followed by NBC. Regardless of who airs it first, I say, it’s better than no show at all!

Oh god! I was just holding my breath until I read this news. FNL fans need a new season to clean this bitter taste second season has left in our mouths.

May I suggest? Writers, please, a dramaticly death for Lyla Garrity and more Swim-wear scenes for Tyra
