The third season will air on DirecTV in the fall, then NBC a few months later. “FNL” hasn't been canceled, and you won't need to pay extra to see it — sort of.

In the past networks have sometimes been willing to foster a promising show along until it found an audience. Now a show is gone in a season or two when an audience is just finding it. If viewers are frustrated and don't care much for television right now, that holds true for the Emmy's too. I haven't watched an Emmy show in years. I used to watch all of them, including the daytime Emmys (did I just admit that?). The writers strike really hurt television because viewers discovered that they really didn't need to watch it.<br><br>I just purchased season1 and 2 of Friday Night Lights. I have not seen any of the episodes before. Someone can correct me, but I think that show is canceled or going to some "alternate" kind of viewing, now sure what that means but I am guessing it means I will need to pay extra in order to watch it.<br><br>Most of the shows I like the critics hate.

What would you call "Lost"? Time travel? Mysterious black cloud monsters. An island that can move? That's as sci-fi as it comes. It was not only nominated for best drama this year, but won the best drama award four years ago. I disagree. What would you call “Lost”? Time travel? Mysterious black cloud monsters.

Not that I ever really delved into it myself, but the diss of THE WIRE (the best TV show since the CRT was invented, ever, according to the pundits) and the superb BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (my wife's favorite) were business as usual. I guess I expect to be let down, which is why I don't pay them much attention.
