If you own DirectTV sattelite, you’ll get the opportunity to see the first episode of “Friday Night Lights” for Season 3 tonight. Look on your onscreen sattelite DirectTV guide to see what time and what channel it is on.

Last year, the show “Friday Night Lights” came this close to getting cancelled for good due to low ratings, but DirectTV made a deal with NBC to get Season 3 greenlighted since there are still a lot of fans that watch the show.

Season 3 will be 13 episodes this year. Season 3 will debut on NBC sometime after the Superbowl.

I’m sure the first episode of FNL Season 3 will get leaked on the internet somewhere.

I don’t watch too much cable TV but “Friday Night Lights” is one of the TV shows I love that I watch on a regular basis whenever it is on. I haven’t missed one episode. I watched all of Season 1 and Season 2. Can’t wait for Season 3!!!

Since NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” new renewal for Season 3 coming later this year, the film crew of the show revealed the breaking news that two important characters of the show won’t be returning. They will only return for a few episodes to explain their leaving. Jason Street (pictured above in wheelchair) and Smash Williams (pictured under Jason), will not be returning full time. The actors for those two characters are welcome to renew their contracts but I guess they are moving on as well. They were forced to get out of contract because of the writer’s strike last year when the show was cut off.

To explain their leaving of the show, Jason and Smash both graduated from high school and their last 4 episodes they have left they will move on to a better life. Jason will move on to take care of his pregnant girlfriend and Smash will probably move on to college football.

Aw man, this really blows that two of my favorite characters are leaving!

Ah well, I’m glad Season 3 is returning and at least Kyle Chandler and Taylor Kitsch aren’t leaving.

I can’t wait for the show to come back!

For the fans of this TV show, here are some things that I would like to see happen in FNL season 3.

-Tim Riggins to actually hook up romantically with Lyla and getting off the alcohol.

-“Smash” Williams gets into pro football

-Landry Clarke proposes to Tyra

-Matt’s Mexican girlfriend, Carlotta to come back

-Jason Street desperately tries to walk again and never gives up (he was paralized in a football injury in the beginning of the first season)

-Julie and her mother Tami Taylor to get along (they were fighting and arguing most of Season 2, was getting old…)

-Coach Eric Taylor to never change his temper to a nice guy. I like Coach being the jerk and having a short temper. It what makes the show interesting when Coach starts yelling and screaming at people especially at characters like Tim Riggins and Smash.

Can’t wait for Season 3!!!!

At last! Friday Night Lights known as the best TV show on television is coming back for a third season! It’s for real! The show came this close to getting axed after low ratings in the first two seasons. Die hard fans who still watch the show begged and begged NBC to not cancel to continue the show. Well NBC helped make the fans dream come true by making a deal with Direct TV to save the show. The show is coming back! WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!

Friday Night Lights will make it’s return to NBC in October of 2009 after that year’s Superbowl. The show stars Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton, Taylor Kitsch and plenty more cast.
