please bring season 6 fnl please please please please.

One of the BEST shows on right now. Why in the world would they want to cancel it??
It is like watching a first rate movie each week. It is compelling for men and women ( and I have NO interest in football!). The story lines are real; multi-layered and superbly acted. What a damn shame!

This is, without a doubt, one of the best programs ever made for a TV series. I always feel as if I'm right there on the set with them. They deal with the problems that every family faces and they do it with honesty and true emotions. The coach does a wonderful job with his part in dealing with his family, friends, and the team members. But I also like the fact that they give his wife so much credit also. She's an excellent actress, and her part shows what an intelligent person she is also.

The writing and acting is superb. This is one program we would NEVER miss, even thought we feel it wasn't given a chance from the very beginning. Gee, maybe that's because it wasn't a reality show!! If every program on TV were to become a reality show (which they seem to be turning into) and Friday Night Lights were to be the only TV series, it is the only program my husband and I would watch. We have been waiting for the new season to begin, and were thrilled to hear it will run through 2011.

Maybe we'll get lucky and have this excellent program on even longer if enough of us let the network know how much we enjoy it.

If you are writing a blog, you should really learn the English language first and not embarrass yourself. You don't sound qualified to write anything that appears in public.

I fall in love with a TV show only about once every 15 years. And I am in totally love with this one.

I agree with other comments that NBC did not give this show the proper promotion and nurturing in the beginning (by giving it a good time slot and leaving it there so that an audience could find it) that it so much deserved.

The writing, casting, acting, camera work, locations, background music ... are of such a superior quality as compared to what is on television today. The documentary look and feel of the show is unique in the way X Files or MASH were unique in their times, and it will influence the look and feel of television drama for many, many years to come.

Special kudos to Kyle Chandler. It seems he was born to play the role of Coach Eric Taylor, and he plays it with such honesty and integrity that believability and credibility of he character naturally follow suit. Whether he plays scenes with his wife, the Boosters, the team, the press, his daughter ... he is consistently excellent in each and every scene. Even with little to know dialogue, he is able to easily convey a thought or emotion to the audience. The fact is, it's not easy to convey a thought or emotion without dialog. It's just that Mr. Chandler makes it look easy and natural and effortless. That is called 'acting.'

if there is any way to keep this show on beyond it's 5th season, just sign me up, Coach!

"However, you should be ecstatic. Quality TV like 'Friday Night Lights' deserves to be given its due and given the time to complete the stories it's been telling."

Couldn't agree more ... and this is coming from the "die-est" of die-hards.

When it was announced that they were getting renewed for not 1, but 2 seasons. My thought was, "That will be it, and it will come to a close quite nicely."

Great Great Show!! I will be sorry to see it end with season 5 really like the show and the characters in it. I am tempted to rewatch it when it comes to NBC on April 30th. A very fine show!

It is a shame that NBC did not give this show a better chance because I thin k it could have been a show that had a long run for the network. They just never gave it a fighting chance from the start. When it first aired on NBC, they had it on Friday nights...makes sense by the title but makes no sense for their target audience. Those people are actually out at their local football games on Friday night when the show aired. The acting and writing on this show is some of the best I have ever seen and heard. I am so glad that I have DirecTV so I have been able to see this show.
