"Friday Night Lights": Appears to be a goner - at least on NBC.

NOOOOOO!!!!

Would you recommend this show to someone who isn't into football?

Absolutely. There's actually very little "football" compared to storylines that circulate around the fact that the show is about a high school football team.

There's a little high-schooler's drama storyline, husband/wife storyline, single-parent home storyline, NO parent storyline, school system storyline...

It's a "community" show in my eyes, and a very good one at that. Very underrated TV show.

i also recommend friday night lights. season 1 was awesome. first few episodes of season 2 were a little over the top for me but then it went back to season 1 awesomeness. i really hope they will renew it or it goes to another network.

Maybe ABC will pick it up.

I doubt it. They target the upscale yuppies...FNL is FAR from ABC's "target audience".

FOX maybe? Hopefully?

If Fox picked it up, they'd hype the hell out of it, air two episodes then prematurely cancel it.

Sad, but probably true.

Friday Night Lights is a goner? I thought the ratings were really good. I hope moonlight returns too.

No thanks. After a couple pages of idiots yelling at each other about who's right and how much people make it lost any relevance for status of the shows themself.

I remember from the reports at the beginning of the season where they did heavy recasting and rewriting for moonlight. Overall I'd say it was a good effort. The first couple episodes were pretty strong, the next were a little repetative when it was always going after a rogue vamp, but it picked up again when the episodes starting going after different storylines. For a night that doesn't normally get many viewers I thought it was pretty good.

January 2009 for 24? :(

Not sure if The Unit will come back but it really needs to. That show is great.

The scene where he's driving through the intersection and the ex-cops then ram him at full speed was one of the few breath holding moments I've had over network TV.

Burn Notice needs to come back. I'll be very upset if it doesn't, it only just got off the ground and the season 1 finale made me really excited for season 2.

Why yes, yes I am. Then again, I'm still pissed off about some shows that were canceled a while ago, like Surface and Veritas: The Quest.

After my coworkers kept recommending me to see Life, I finally got to catch that episode. That was a crazy scene. I might have to watch the whole first season when I get a chance.

I can't believe that after waiting for sooooo long for this season of lost, we're gonna have to wait again until after the fall. That sucks!!!

What a crock of manure.

No 24.

A whole six episodes of Lost, so there are only four left, and we all know the pace of the episodes and cliffhangers, meaning we won't really see much interesting stuff or answers until the later episodes in the fall, which is a huge break.

And the worst part, The Unit is TBD. It doesn't get stellar ratings and might be gone for good if the season 3 isn't started back up. It is such an awesome and unique show. How many CSI shows do we need?

Every other show listed in the OP.... lets just say I dislike them. I've watched every episode of 24, Lost, The Unit, and Trailer Park Boys quite a few times. I started back on re-watching The Unit from season 1, but really I'm out of stuff to watch. I watched every piece of Trailer Park Boys media in a row, then did the same thing as soon as I was done the first time, in the span of a month or so, heh.

Bionic Women, meh I'm actually enjoying the new Terminator more. But Journeyman and Life were awesome.
