Keeping The Lights On

Well it looks like the writers' strike is nearing an end and shows are soon to be back on the air, but no one at NBC is talking about "Friday Night Lights." They aired their last new episode last week. Will that be it? We just don't know.

But a whole lot of people aren't waiting around to find out. A "Save FNL" campaign has been launched on My Space as well as at SaveFridayNightLights.tv. Organizers are sending mini-footballs to NBC, as well as asking supporters to sign an online petition and print & send postcards to the network.

Best Week Ever has their own online campaign here with another online petition. They're suggesting viewers send light bulbs to NBC. I think there may be some other groups sending bottles of CLEAR EYES.

I think it's a damn shame the crap that stays on for TV for season after season, while the one decent thing on television gets screwed over by their own network. Because seriously? If they would put ER out of its misery and give up that time slot to FNL, I believe the show would take off like wildfire. Unfortunately, NBC's too busy trying to find the next American Idol or Dances with Old Washed-Up Has Beens to know a good things when it's staring them down.

So please go sign these petitions. The fans were able to save Jericho, which CBS was ready to cancel b/c they thought nobody was watching. Which just goes to show you that ratings mean absolutely fucking nothing.

Even if you don't watch this show, do it for me. And when the time comes, I'll help you save whatever show you're cracked out on. Promise.
