FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS gets a season two... maybe

Reported on CNN:

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- NBC's "Friday Night Lights" are shining brighter.

A day before the freshman series' season finale, the network on Tuesday ordered six additional scripts of the critically praised but low-rated series.

While this is short of the early second-season order NBC recently bestowed on another struggling rookie, the comedy "30 Rock," the order does strengthen "Friday"'s chances for a return next season.

"Friday" is the second NBC series on the bubble to receive a six-script order this week, following a similar pickup for veteran "Medium" Monday.

"Friday" is an adaptation of the 2004 feature about a high school football team. Kyle Chandler leads the ensemble cast of the drama, which recently won a Peabody Award.

I really hope NBC gives this series a shot. It's so well written. If you guys haven't seen it, jump on board, it's that good.

First episode of Season 1 just premiered on television here in Finland few days back. I didn't see the first 10 minutes of it but I loved every frame they'd shot. I have never been keen in sport movies nor series BUT this one has something that just catches my attention. And no! It's not the men in football gear
