The TV Addict 

Still reeling from NBC’s shabby treatment of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS? Well, we’ve got some exciting news that may put a smile on your face. No, FNL has not been officially picked up for a third season and unfortunately Ben Silverman has not been fired from his post as Peacock President. But trust us, this is almost as good.

Last night’s FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: Tim Riggins Edition was not only the ideal way for FNL to ring in the new year, but also managed to give this TV Addict a quasi-brilliant idea to get NBC out of the ratings cellar.

Presenting Tim Riggins week on NBC! No seriously, keep reading…

Following Riggins unexpected misunderstanding with Coach Taylor (who also deserves a shout out for his incredible dressing down of Coach Loserbee Laribee), Tim hops onto his pick-up truck and leaves Dillon (shirt optional).

First stop, Sunday night where Riggins takes on NBC’s AMERICAN GLADIATORS. After wiping the floor with Hulk Hogan et al, Riggins drops by THE BIGGEST LOSER on Tuesday to show the losers, umm… we mean winners, how to go from this to this. Realizing gas isn’t cheap, Riggins heads on over to DEAL OR NO DEAL on Wednesday to win a few bucks. Ensuring he’s made enough to make it to 30 ROCK on Thursday, where Judah Friedlander’s Frank yet again, ‘goes gay’. Finishing off the week back in Dillon, where the Taylor’s officially adopt him and live happily ever after.

Now tell me you aren’t going to tune into NBC for that?

By: Amrie Cunningham [My Take on TV]

There is really nothing I enjoy more these days than curling up and watching episode after episode of Friday Night Lights. It’s a show that makes me laugh and makes me cry and makes me think about life in just about every hour that they’ve produced. I relate to the characters, I feel for the characters, and all because I gave the show a chance when it started last season.

As the second season of one of the greatest shows ever made starts this Friday, I want to share with you the wonderful, warm, incredible conversation I was lucky enough to have with one of my favorite people, Taylor Kitsch – everybody’s favorite bad boy, #33 Tim Riggins.

Hi how are you?
Taylor Kitsch: I’m great, I’m just leaving set actually.

I’m glad you could take time to chat for a bit.
Oh no worries!

First of all, so excited that you’re back for season 2
I think we all are. And it’s been fun. We’re in episode 9 now and we’re still having a riot out there.

I’m one of those people who has told ever single person I’ve ever known probably to watch this show.
You gotta work on the strangers, now, too, don’t forget.

Haha, yeah, walk up to people on the street, and hand them something with FNL on it.
Yeah, make them watch. That’s what it’s going to come down to sooner than later, I’m sure.

So you said you’re on episode 9. That’s pretty far in, that’s exciting.
Yeah, it’s pretty darn interesting storylines, too. They’re starting to all intertwine too, so that’s my favorite part of it.
