ghost2Despite having absolutely horrible ratings on NBC for this season in particular, Friday Night Lights has been renewed for two more years. That's two seasons of a measly 13 episodes each, not really proper seasons, but if you're a fan they're better than nothing. DirecTV (which evidently offered a huge financial incentive) will again air each season's worth of episodes before NBC gets its chance.
This link goes to my favorite ratings site, TV By the Numbers, where you get to see people discussing whether a show that just dipped below 4 million total viewers and a dreadful 1.2 in the 18-49 demo deserves to still be on the air. (Those numbers are very close to what the probably-doomed Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse just managed. Difference is, those series aren't being bailed out by DirecTV.)
I like FNL. It's not the greatest thing ever, but I like it. I do hope they stop that shaky camerawork, though. It's not "realistic"; it's distracting and annoying. I suppose if that's my biggest complaint about the show, it's doing all right.
