As much as lovers of quality TV are celebrating 30 Rock's second-season pickup, the question lingers: What fate will befall NBC's Friday Night Lights? Speaking to Variety, NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly calls the FNL sitch "trickier," saying the acclaimed drama has yet to find the right time slot. Still, Reilly offers hope in that FNL "has got a tremendous amount of support internally. We love the show creatively," he says, "and it's got a passionate core audience. All of that is going to work in its favor." Yeah, or else Smash is gonna start smashin' things.
My advice? Let's put some fannies in the seats for the state finals next Wednesday
You know, I've said in perfect seriousness that if FNL isn't renewed that I'm okay with that. First, because I think the network gave it a chance and second, because I think there's something quite acceptable about leaving it at a near-perfect first season. Seriously, it's really difficult to maintain this kind of stunning quality, so in some ways it will be okay if it has to be left as a little gem of a show that had a stellar, beautifully depicted, and emotionally fulfilling Year 1.
