Will the show be back for a second season definitely? My husband and I look forward to our Wednesday night TV time so much! The relationships and dialogue are so realistic and relevant, we LOVE IT!!

I love this show and all my friends think it is great. The writing and cast are top rate. I hope it will be on for a second season. Thanks Jackie
I grew up in a small Texas town back in the 70's. This show brings back such warm feelings and memories. I thought I was the only person watching. I'm glad to see the show is so well accepted by so many. I love all the characters. They all have real life characteristics. I hope this show will be around for many, many more seasons.
I want to thank you both for keeping it real. My son is 15 and plays football. He grew up in Texas and we now live in Iowa. He lives, eats and breathes football and baseball. I hope this show is around for a long time. It helps us as parents relate to maybe a little of what are kids are going thru and the pressures they have. thank you again and keep up the great story line!
I have watched the entire season and was impressed the way that the show and characters grew as they went. The show is well cast and extremely well written. Best job of covering important/difficult themes and coming up with good/realistic endings that I have seen in a long time. Looking forward to next season. A demographic note - I am a 60 year old sports fan who has grandkids in sports!!!
My family loves your show. It reminds me so much of the town I live in. We have a great high school and football team also. More importantly, the actors on this show do such a great job of portraying the characters in such a down-to-earth believable way. I hope the show continues for many seasons.
Yes, I love the show. I don't have any other show I actually try to be home to watch. And being a member of the Bronco Nation (a Boise State alumni who attended the Fiesta Bowl), imagine my surprise when the Panthers won state by an 18-yard hook and lateral. Now that's class!
Were Connie and Kyle EVER blogging?

Please don't cancel the best-written, best acted show on TV. If this show were on HBO (with no language restrictions) it would be getting the press to match its critical acclaim. My husband and I have 3 kids 16-21 and this show speaks to our lives and concerns with humor and without preaching. It even keeps me from The Daily Show and Colbert on Wednesday nights!
Oh, my gosh!!! What a super episode..would simply give up my faith in NBC if this superior show gets cancelled..please....we definitely need another season....thanks (with all my heart) in advance!!!!
I thought this show was great! I don't watch much tv, so FNL was a refreshing change from the reality series, all the CSIs and other police/murder shows!Having lived in Texas in the past I quickly learned football isn't just a sport--- it's a way of life. FNL rekindled the excitement of what Friday Night Lights is all about in football loving Texas! Looking forward to the second season, and the third, and the fourth!
My husband and I absolutely love everything and every character on this show. Please tell us you will be back next year. The interaction between characters and the very realistic dialogue are fantastic. As former teachers, we love seeing the interactions and humanity of all the characters. Kudos to the Coach and Counselor. If only all relationships could be as meaningful as that of your two characters. Super job. We want another season ...and another...and another. Thanks for making our Wednesdays special.
Kyle, a question for you. Did you ever have any football experience yourself, such as high school. I know your job is as an actor, but you play a fanstastic role as a head football coach with your actions and mannerisms like you had been around the game before.
Great,absolutely incredible,was hooked from day one,can't get enough, please don't EVEN think about not continuing the show NBC. When will we know if and when the next season will start? 41 year old male that loves the show.
Mr. Chandler and Ms. Britton,
the way the two of you portray a married couple shows that marriage between two people who respect each other and who are deeply in love can be an exciting teamwork. Is this the result of the writer's viewpoint or do the two of you contribute ideas to enhance this portrayal as well? The whole theme of teamwork with honesty and hardwork is illustrated in the not only in this marriage but in the football team and the community as well. Thank you for showing the values that make America great. Will there be another season? Adults and children alike benefit from this show as well as being thoroughly entertained by your excellent acting, the marvelous camera shots, and the wonderful music. Thank you, NBC...but please more seasons of this remarkable drama.
Thank you to NBC for bringing to us the best TV show of this year in Friday Night Lights. Whoever was responsible for casting did an excellent job. The chemistry between all the characters always appeared very real. I have not missed a show all season and have told many about just how great you all are. FNL's writers deserve an award for their outstanding writing and the very realistic and understanding way they have handled so many challenging issues, especially the injury and reabilitation of the quarterback with a spinal cord injury. Were you both taken by surprise by the addition of a pregnancy to the storyline during the last show? Kyle, the depth protrayed in your reaction when you learned the news brought tears to my eyes. Next years season can't come any too soon. NBC - Please bring us season 2.
Friday Night Lights is one of my favorite shows. I am so tired of hearing rumors of the show being cancelled. You are going to be with us next year, right???
I just wanted to let you know that there are only two shows that I watch religiously and this show is the ONLY one I have never missed. I am SO glad that you have a show that is so REAL. I feel like I know you from watching every week. I LOVE YOUR SHOW!!!!!!
No way did I think FNL would make it...It's the best show on TV. As a "baby-boomer" and former teacher and coach, I have to say that chemisty between the coach and his wife is amazing. What a great job NBC! And that Tim Riggins needs to have just a bit more of a part. He's awesome as an actor and after reading his interview, I can see why people on the cast like him so much. He's the kind of guy any guy or gal would love to have as a good friend.
Congratulations on the best TV show I have seen in a long time. As a high school teacher/coach (not football but cross country and trach), husband and father of a daughter in a small town in New Mexico for 25 years your great cast of actors and scripts have captured the essence of small town America. You have done this by focusing on great dialogue and the importance of people caring for each other. I must say that (Kyle) as the coach and Connie as his wife (teacher/counselor) have captured this role from the my perspective and experiences as a coach. Bravo and congratulations on making TV worth watching again. Thanks so much. Keep up the good work. Look forward to next season. Joe
I do not watch television, except for sports. You can have all the Idols and Dancing With Stars and mind numbing programs, but I am definetly hooked on FNL. I read the book when it was first published, saw the movie and really did not think that a TV series would measeure up. I was way wrong. Hopefully NBC will do the right thing and renew this program.
Bravo Kyle, Connie and the rest of the cast and crew. You have a winner of a show. NBC, please don't take it off the air. It's one of the best shows around. Thanks for a great season of FNL!!!!
Love the show! We watch it every week, and we think NBC is crazy not to renew it next season!!!!
FNL is a great show. It has one of the best cast I have ever seen. ( I'm 64 years old)I would like to have played for a coach like Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) in high school and college.The show demonstrates good family values. PLEASE BRING FNL BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON. THIS SHOW HAS CHARACTER.
This show is incrediable. I perfer it to any other show on t.v. I even watch it on wed night instead of the idol results. I am a mom of two young boys and the wife of a division 1 college baseball team, and I am a social worker so I see alot of myself and marriage and life in FNL. For me the hardest part of being a coach's wife is seeing the disappointment in the faces of the players and their parents. This show seems so true to real life. Who cant relate to the kid struggling to be his age while taking care of his grandmother with alzhimers and his father being away in the war. Or the black kid struggling in a southern white community, or the black mom trying to make ends meet and raising her kids right whent he odds are against her. The young girl who uses sex to get ahead because that is all that she has seen in her own family from her mom, or the girl who is pretty and popular and seems to have it all but struggles just like the girl who doesnt have it all. The daughter of the coach who just wants to find happiness, the largest businees owner in town that uses his money to get his way but in the end his decisions cost him dearly and teach him a lesson that his money cant. This show has characters that every person in this world can relate to. Please bring back this show. Surely if a show as stupid as Seinfield that had no plot or storyline can run as long as it did this show can be brought back for another season. I am 30 years old and my favorite show has always been "THE WALTONS" but this show has replaced that and it has taken many years of t.v and shows to do that but this show has. Please bring back FNL and dont change anything!
Kyle, what was that you picked off the other coach's shirt at the stadium in "Mudbowl?" You looked like you were holding back laughter! I love it that that scene and Connie & the cow scene was aired and not "perfect" ones. You two have such great chemistry & are so believable as a couple. Thanks & keep up the good work!
mr.chandler, more interesting acting job- football coach of state champion team or civilian who has a newspaper that tells the future?
PETITION TIME!!!
I used to live in Texas and this show brings back sooo many memories! This show is absolutely amazing! My 8 yr old son and I have watched from the beginning and have never missed not a one. Sooo Kyle is it TCU or Dillon? Taylor you are absolutely gorgeous!! Drop me a email sometime!?!? (soon) LOL NBC you cancel this show and you WILL loose alot of viewers!!! I SAY ITS PETITION TIME!!!!
Kyle, what was the cooler acting job- football coach of state champion team or civilian who gets a newspaper that tells the future?
Love your show, best on TV. NBC please bring FNL back
Please tell us if the show is coming back!!!!!!
Hi Kyle and Connie.
I just wanted to say I love this show. I am a hugh football fan no matter if its professional, college, etc.
I am a huge fan of Kyle Chandlers. I was sad when Early Edition was no longer on but was very excited to see Kyle back in a football tv show. I hope Friday Night Lights comes back for another season. For Kyle, how would you compare doing Early Edition to Friday Night Lights? You play a great coach.
Is the dillon panthers a real team? is there going to be a season #2?
This is the best show on t.v. , i dont watch alot of t.v. shows but i watch this every week and watch it on this web page... i always wanted to be a football couch and this makes me want to even more.best show ever.kyle and connie hope to see you next season.
This is the best show on television. We sit as a family (my husband, 15yr.old son and 18yr.old daughter and my self) and watch the show every week. We miss our family time when it is not on. It has to come on for a second season!!!! This show brings families back together!
I'm neither into football nor small town life, yet I ADORE FNL! This is iconic American television at its very best. Full hearts indeed! Any show that can bring together such a wide viewer demographic has got to be a keeper.
My wife and I absolutly love this show. So many good shows have been canceled to make room for more reality shows, or for some stupid sitcom. Please NBC bring this show back!
so kyle did you get those tires for your truck?
kyle.. you were the best part of king kong.. did you enjoy working w/ peter jackson?
Hope you come back for another season every year, its a great show and it would be a real shame to see it go. I think you two are great and play your characters really well and congratulations to you and the rest of the cast you all do an amazing job of drawing the viewer to your characters
My husband works for Under Armour and we were wondering how you like all of the Under Armour on the show (Kyle they just came out w/ Sunglasses and he's going to make sure you get a pair for next season).
I love everything about this show. I wait for Wednesdays and when 8:00 comes I am always disappointed and it leaves me wanting more. The story lines are great, the actors are great, I can't think of anything negative to say about this show. If NBC does not bring it back for a 2nd season, they are making a big mistake. I watch very little TV but would never miss an episode of FNL. They did a great job of picking this cast, hopefully they do a great job of bringing it back in the fall. Thanks for bringing something worthwhile to weekly TV.
Yes... there's a good question. When are the FNL apparel and accessories coming out for sale? I'd wear Dillon Panthers stuff anytime proudly!
NBC - DO YOU WONDER WHY YOUR STATION IS THE WORST OF THE BIG THREE?
KEEP THIS SHOW FOR AT LEAST TWO MORE SEASONS AND DONT CHANGE ANYONE OR ANYTHING AND YOUR NETWORK WILL START TO COME BACK.
TRUST ME THIS IS THE SHOW. NOTHING COMES CLOSE.
YOUR RATING MIGHT HAVE DIPPED A LITTLE FROM IDOL AND THAT IS IT.
PLEASE NBC GET A CLUE, YOU GOT THE NFL FINALLY. DONT SCREW THIS ONE UP.
KYLE & CONNIE, YOU TWO ARE GREAT AS ALL ACTORS.
This is one of the best shows on tv right now! Even though I am a teenager I probably watch more tv than most & FNL is my favorite one of all! NBC please bring FNL back. Why are they canceling it?
Mr. Chandler & Mrs. Britton,
You are both an amazing actor/actress! How is it to work with such a young cast?
We can't wait to see you back on another season!!
~Gail
I grew up in Katy Texas best known for their Texas Class 5a football team, the Katy Tigers, how did it feel filming scenes for the state championship episode. As for us we have 4 state championships and is looking forward to bringing it home this year. Could you as an actor playing Coach Taylor, what kind of advice could you give our boys if you were coaching them. Look forward to Season 2 of Friday Night Lights. My prediction, Coach Taylor doesn't take the TMU job.
How many of the kids were Juniors this year and could therefore be returning next season?
Connie and Kyle,
my compliments to you, the other cast, crew, writers and directors for putting together an excellent show each and every week. Connie, it is great seeing you again as I enjoyed your last show(spin city) and Kyle, you did a good job on Grey's during the two episodes you were on.
I hope that Friday Night Lights is picked up for another season. In the meantime, have a great summer!
I love this show. Please let there be a season two.. I have been a Kyle Chandler fan even before Early Edition. My sister-in-law{Kimberly Morrow} was a teacher at Lincoln Park Prep when Sydney was there also with my nephew Jett Morrow. I still have pictures with Sydney and Jett from school functions. Please let me know WHO at NBC we need to contact repeatedly to get to a 2nd season.
The first time I saw Kyle Chandler he stared in Early Edition. He was great in that too. I always wondered why Kyle wasn't in anymore TV shows. I LOVE Friday Night Lights, Super Special. All of the people that were in the show were really fit there parts. I lved them all. If this is all there is, would you please put the whole show on DVD, Please!
I am a married, mother of 3 little girls and I am addicted to this show! I especially love how your marriage is portrayed-so real, yet ideal. And especially how you deal with your daughter and the other high school kids. I feel I have learned something about how to relate to my children! Do either of you have children? And did that have an effect on your acting in those scenes?
Thanks for the great show-hope to see Season Two :), Amy
I thought it was clear minds full hearts. !! oh well. ??
ANd I have to state to Peter Berg.. I am a woman and I love my sports and I went to high school and college . I loved our football teams. So I again state I LOVE THIS SHOW!
Also in light of the Imus debacle, I was ready to write off NBC. and i love NBC and MSNBC. If they do not renew FNL .. I won't be watching tv at all !! Except for the Discovery Channel .
If they don't fire the creep IMUS and bring back FNL .. I will not watch tv nor buy any product that promotes NBC.
Since the only thing tv promotes is drugs and fake food and I don't do either . NBC will be down the tubes.
BRING BACK FNL !!!
Kyle and Connie,
You both have made Friday Night Lights a very successful show and your both wonderful actors. I have been a fan of the show since the first episode and have finally gotten everyone in my family addicted to it as well. I just wanted to thank you for giving us a great program and a great alternative to reality television and to let you know that I am going to do everything that I can to make sure that NBC renews the series.
Thank you very much and cant wait til next season. this is truly a family show you guys are great
Mr. Chandler,
What's your favorite nfl team?
p.s. You guys are amazing!
MS Britton, Fine job! Now then..... Pure Country, another movie name escapes me cowboy in prison etc, etc, Homefront, Early Edition, Greys Anatomy, and Friday Night Lights!!!!! Kyle you do Good work!!!! I keep hoping to see you come through the DFW airport where I work. And there is my other dream man and I guess it's getting up at 3 am but I'm not sure about the first name Dennis? Byrd. I know that last name and that handsome face. I miss seeing you in the movies now. I can't list all your work cause it would take too long. Bluebonnet trails this weekend in Ennis Come see them!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show, cast, writers !!! Everyone brings something GREAT. I've loved Kyle Chandler since his role in PURE COUNTRY. Hiatus will be brutal. Can't wait 'til season 2. Where can we buy the championship caps? I would wear one !!!
You have got to come back next season. We love this show. I didn't want it to end. It is the best on TV We love all of you. Will it be back on?????? Judy from Texas
Hi Kyle and Connie,
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW and the chemistry between the two of your is awesome. It's as if you're not really acting but allowing us to view a chapter in your lives. The character studies are brilliant...it's so much more than football. I have been a fan of Mr. Chandler's since HOMECOMING. EARLY EDITION and that quirky comedy w/Joan Cusack. And you were wonderfully enjoyable in King Kong and your roles on Grey's Anatomy...FANTASTIC! Please tell me that this show will be back for many moons. It gives us old heads (I'm 52)that great feeling we used to have when sophistication and creativity ruled the network airwaves. Bravo, too to Peter Berg...the writing is superb! Thank you.
In my opinion, Coach Taylor is the most intriguing character on the show. I would like to see a story-arc in which he moves to Austin after accepting the job at TMU(I assume this is a fictional college). This would be the more real life decision.
I don't watch much tv; however, there are about three shows I watch religiously - Friday Night Lights tops that list. What can we do to save your show?
Kyle, I've watched everything you've been in - how can we keep you coming back????
Hi!
I just want to say I'm a huge fan and I have been since I saw the first preview!
Kyle, I have been a huge fan since Early Edition and want you to know I think your a great actor!
Connie, you are a great actress!
The roles you two play are magnificent and I want to congratulate you on the show and wish you good luck for the future!
Any exciting plans for the off season, besides more filming?!
Megan
You 2 are great. The show is family oriented and it's about real families with real problems. It's about time there is quality programming. The country needs more shows like this one. It's the best program on TV at this time and it's the best one that's been on for a long time. There has to be a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th season. Thank you actors, actresses and NBC for this great program.
Great show! Great work! What's been the most difficult scene to shoot?
I absolutely love FNL!! tonight was def. a clif hanger..i cannot wait for more seasons..*hint ANOTHER ONE OR TWO* I love the story lines & the characters. I can't wait to see if they decide to stay in Dillion. Jules & Matt are adoreable too
This is the best show on television! Please, please, please give us another season. Kyle Chandler and Connie Britt have the most romantic, yet realistic marriage on TV. All the actors are amazing! The scripts keep getting better and better. This show is what TV should be, but so rarely achieves.
My name is Darrell and I come from a 5A Football town(Katy,Texas) just like Dillon as depicted in FNL. I was wondering if there is going to be a second season and wanted to know what kind of advice would you give local High school kids out there who are inspired by the show and the actors and actresses.
Kyle,
Can you say:
Lu Ann Hampton Laverty Oberlander?

This is the best show I have watched in a long time. NBC would be making a big mistake if they cancel this show..Love FNL.
NBC PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK. IT IS AWESOME AND I AM SO SICK OF GOOD SHOWS BEING TAKEN OFF THE AIR TO MAKE ROOM FOR MORE REALITY SHOWS. IT IS THE BEST ON TV!!!
Love the show, I have not missed an episode and I hope that NBC brings it back for a second season.
I watched the movie Friday Night Lights a couple of weeks ago and the movie ended with the Odessa team not winning by less than a footballs length and when I saw Smash running I thought this season was going to end the same way. How was the decision made for Dillon to win it at state versus coming up short?
TV just doesn't get any better than the episode that just aired. Congratulations on your outstanding work. Any scoop on a second season?
Thank you NBC for keeping Friday Night Lights on this season. Please continue this series for fall. It is one of the best written, directed, and acted shows on television.
Mr. Chandler and Ms. Britton,
You are both the main reason I watch this show. You have amazing chemistry and I love seeing how Eric and Tami relate to one another and to their daughter. I was so happy tonight to see the two of you during the scene where Tami told Eric she was pregnant. It was an amazing scene and you both did a fabulous job...just as you've both done all season.
Thank you!! Keep FNL on TV!
You have assembled an incredible cast of actors for this show, how many are locals, and how many go to Texas to shoot. There must be an incredible number of extras. How do they do it?
I am not a football fan, but I love this show.
A wonderful heart warming show. Thanks for holding nothing back and showing that there is not always fun and glory in high school sports. I can't wait for season two.
is the show coming back . its great we love please come back next year
This show shows pure Inspiration to me as a football player, as well as other sports. My high school has 12 State Championships and watching this show just gets motivation through me as we will fight for number 13 this year. Go HILLMEN!
My husband and I watch every week. We totally love the show and all of the characters. There has to be a 2nd season! One of the BEST shows ever! Who says the ratings are low? All of our friends watch. Please, all of the characters must return next year. The show takes me back to my high school days-many,many years ago! For that hour, I do not think about any of the present day worries, but cheer for the team and the people as if they were right next door. We are huge football fans, mostly for our University of SC Gamecocks, but actually feel we are watching a real team playing. Please return this show, and the people!
My husband and I love your show. It's the best thing on the network television. It's touching and honest and funny and perfect, and you two play such believable and wonderful characters. Your relationship is one of the most truthful and sweet marriages on tv.
How did it feel winning the Peabody award and do you think this will help convince NBC to commit to a full second season and not just these additional six episodes?
I am a 48 year old female who loves this show!
NBC - I hope you will have another season.
The acting is wonderful
Mr. Chandler and Ms. Britton,
I am huge fans of the show and of your work. I think the show is awesome. It's a great show! I moved from Dallas to a small town, where football is everything. This show helps how a football team and game is much more than a simple sport. It is an event that brings a community together. By the way, I watch reruns of both Spin City and Homefront.I love them both. Homefront is my favorite TV show. My mom let stay up late when I was nine to watch it when it was on. The theme song is my cell phone ringer. The point is, I found it recently on reruns. I would love to know if there is any way to get the series on DVD or VHS. It airs every Sunday night. This past week Jeff married Ginger.
Sorry to go on about past work. Please know that I think Friday Night Lights is an awesome show!!! Everyone is fantastic on it. I will continue to watch it.
THIS SHOW IS AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! WE NEVER MISS IT!! THERE'S NOTHING LIKE GETTING READY FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHTS WITH FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS!! THIS IS ACTUALLY THE ONLY SHOW THAT MY WHOLE MY FAMILY ACTUALLY GETS TOGETHER TO SEE EVERY WEEK! THE STORY LINES ARE SO REAL!! WE LOVE HOW TRUE TO LIFE IT IS. EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU ADDS SOMETHING UNIQUE TO THE PLOTS. NO SHOW OUT THERE COMPARES TO FNL!! CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2!! PLEASE TELL ME THIS SHOW IS NOT GOING TO BE CANCELLED!!
OMG I just saw the finale and I just love FNL so much. I've told everyone I meet to watch the show because it is so important and inspierational. I even did a speech in my class about how important it is. the cast is great. I love Scott Porter and Kyle Chandler. We can't lose this show!
I just wanted to tell you guys that I love the show. Yall are great Everyone I know in north louisiana watches the show everyweek. Hope there is a season 2. Once again you guys are great!
Holly
im a new yorker..love football...nd love seeing how the show displays the true passion of a whole state in love with sport..Up here in NY there are soo many people who love soo many different sports, that sometimes you wish you knew what it was like to be in a place where the intensity of a sport you love is shared by everyone alse around you.. Makes it that much better..Love the show..never miss an episode, even watch them 2 or 3 times each online.(Thanxs to NBC for that one) Coach Taylor should come back, but if he doesnt, Julie has to stay...Maybe w/Matts grandma.(just a thought). Great actors, Smash, Riggins, Jason, Tyra..Oo Tyra..
how was it to shoot the last episode?? was it emotional??

This is one of the best shows on TV. If I am going to be out I have it on TIVO.
It has to come back next year.
John & Joyce
This is the best show on TV and this cast is amazing; the writers incredible, the production team creative and innovative. NBC please don't take this show off the air. It is so seldom we get anything of this caliber, and from all the comments I saw, I think alot of people agree. The last time I felt this way about a show was "I'll Fly Away" this is the same caliber. Please give us another year. A FULL year. Thank you.
I am writing on behalf of our family and my 81 year old mother! We all just LOVE THE SHOW!!!! My mom wanted to know how she could let NBC know that they need to keep this show on the air and air more family friendly shows like FNL. Please NBC give it one more season.
Keeping our fingers and toes crossed in the Steeler Nation for another season of FNL.
The Banze Family and Grandma Dorothy Bachner
Mrs. Britton I know this is off the topic of the show, but I just want to say that I thought you did an extremely great job this season, and I that you are honestly one of the most beautiful lady's I have seen. Congratualtions on an awesome season!
Did either of you grow up around very competitive high school football???
Fist, I want to say THANK YOU ALL! FNL is the single best show to grace prime time ever. It has character, it has grace and it has brilliance. The cast, writers, producers and everyone involved in making FNL are to be congratulated and thanked whole-heartedly for bringing such a wholesome, inspirational, riveting, emotional, morally supplemental program to us, the loyal and eternal fans. I know I am not alone when I say that the FNL Cast has not only stolen our hearts... it has become part of our "family". With Clear Eyes and Full Hearts... we and FNL Can't Lose. Please, PLEASE don't let them take this show away. Is there truth to the rumor that FNL is possibly going to be cancelled?
As someone in federal law enforcement, I find myself dealing with a lot of the family issues, traveling issues (moving), life decision making processes that your fictional family portrays so very well. I don't think either of you could portray either of these two characters any better and you do so with a very high moral standard which is very absent in todays tv. Thank you for what you do.
I'm a high school senior and I just want to say I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!! I am a faithful follower of Matt, Julie, Smash, Tim, Lyla, Tyra and the rest of the gang. The story is so true to high school life and the events in the show really do happen in high schools around the country. I'm hoping that the show will continue for next year and I was just wondering if there are any plans in the making yet. I really hope the show continues for many years to come. Thanks for a great season!
how did u do the football senc?
I forgot to mention I was born in Del Rio and raised in Eagle Pass then moved to New Jersey. Also .. I'm watching Friday Night lights and then Grey's Anatomy and there's Kyle Chandler !!!
I love the chemistry between you and Britton. And your accents. I haven't been back to Texas in decades !! But I'm loyal to the Cowboys and the Stars, The Longhorns, the Spurs, but baseball it's the Mets. and Hockey I'm a stars fan but a die hard Devils fan.
like you needed to know all that.
I hope there will be a season two !!!
I love the topics you all touch on. EVERYTHING!!
Those who can't handle the topics can change the channel. You have enough fans to keep the show.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SHOW CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT SEASON , KYLE AND CONNIE MAKE THE SHOW FOR FAMILY VALUES AND NOW A NEW BABY WOW IT JUST GETS BETTER WISH IT NEVER ENDS (NOW WHAT DO I WATCH ) IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME ON WEDNESDAY'S TILL YOU COME BACK
I teach high school in a suburb of Houston. Wish it had more of a small town feel like "Dillon." Do either of you have children and would you consider raising them in a small town like Dillon?
Terrific show. If not NBC, why not A&E or HBO?
Kyle and Connie,
Are you still with us? Can you say for sure if there will be a season #2? When will you know?
In the first episode Saracen was referred to as the 3rd string quarterback, yet he was put in right after Street was injured. Who was the 2nd string QB? Or was that only a small error?
Thanks!
Kevin
Connie,
Wow, you are such a awesome actress. I am just amazed at the chemistry between you and Kyle all season long. This is an amazing show and and I'm sad to see it end for the year, but what a finish! Great show Connie and Kyle!

OH MY GOSH... PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS GOING TO BE A 2ND SEASON... AND TELL ME THAT IT IS GOING TO BE REAL REAL SOON. WE LOVE THIS SHOW AND IF NBC DOESN'T RENEW IT WE WILL BE SO DISAPPOINTED. CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS, RENEW IT!
Which episode was your guy's favorite one to shoot and/or made??
This is the BEST show on television. PLEASE do NOT cancel this show. We need many more seasons with the Panthers!
THIS SHOW IS AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! WE NEVER MISS IT!! THERE'S NOTHING LIKE GETTING READY FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHTS WITH FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS!! THIS IS ACTUALLY THE ONLY SHOW THAT MY WHOLE MY FAMILY ACTUALLY GETS TOGETHER TO SEE EVERY WEEK! THE STORY LINES ARE SO REAL!! WE LOVE HOW TRUE TO LIFE IT IS. EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU ADDS SOMETHING UNIQUE TO THE PLOTS. NO SHOW OUT THERE COMPARES TO FNL!! CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2!! PLEASE TELL ME THIS SHOW IS NOT GOING TO BE CANCELLED!!
I am writing on behalf of our family and my 81 year old mother! We all just LOVE THE SHOW!!!! My mom wanted to know how she could let NBC know that they need to keep this show on the air and air more family friendly shows like FNL. Please NBC give it one more season.
Keeping our fingers and toes crossed in the Steeler Nation for another season of FNL.
The Banze Family and Grandma Dorothy Bachner
WHAT A GREAT SHOW!
we were hooked from the very first show. We do believe that a season 2 is around the corner and that coach will not go - He is a panther not a mustang. Good luck Matt & Julie.(what a cute couple)
Congrats on baby Taylor, we hope it's a boy.
I just wanted to let you guys know that I watch one tv show a week and its FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. I cant get enough of it. I love the story lines and the characters. I even got my girlfriend addicted to it. There is going to be a second season right? and will this first one come out on DVD?
Love you guys!!
Fist, I want to say THANK YOU ALL! FNL is the single best show to grace prime time ever. It has character, it has grace and it has brilliance. The cast, writers, producers and everyone involved in making FNL are to be congratulated and thanked whole-heartedly for bringing such a wholesome, inspirational, riveting, emotional, morally supplemental program to us, the loyal and eternal fans. I know I am not alone when I say that the FNL Cast has not only stolen our hearts... it has become part of our "family". With Clear Eyes and Full Hearts... we and FNL Can't Lose. Please, PLEASE don't let them take this show away. Is there truth to the rumor that FNL is possibly going to be cancelled?
Coach Taylor, stay in Dillion. NBC, SEASON TWO! Mrs. Taylor, name the baby Chuck. LOL!!!
I hate football, but I love this show. Connie Britton, you are so good. I love how interesting and complex the female characters are on this show--hard to find on mainstream TV. And Kyle Chandler, I've watched you since you appeared on that show about WWII--was that called Homecoming? I really want Friday Night Lights to go into a second season.
Kyle,
You've said you weren't much of a football player in high school so what's your favorite aspect of Coach Taylor? And do you ever wish you could turn the clock back now, or are you glad to avoid the pain? Love the show. And both of you are amazing!
I just heard today that Kyle graduated from the University of GA. (GO DAWGS) Is that true? Love the show. Looking forward to the second season.
Hmm Mr. Chandler, first im sorry you have to read all of these must be a bore...after i auditioned in austin, i thought it wasnt going to be that great but how wrong i was...by the way when you play a state championship you might want to book a hotel there instead of downtown austin
from a 14 yr old
My husband and I LOVE this show!!!!!!!! And I am not even into football at all! PLEASE, NBC, don't cancel Friday Night Lights, and please, "Coach Taylor" don't go to TMU! Dillon (sp?) needs you!
Hello,
Kyle & Connie
Just wanted to say amazing show. Please have second season as nothing on tv comes close to this show.
Brings back so many high school memories.
Tell all that the acting is awsome and writing also.
Dont watch much TV at all but this is one thing besides sports.
Connie loved you in spin city also.
Good luck to both and keep up the great acting in all your future films, tv shows.
Peter Berg is nothing short of brilliant. He brings something so smart to NBC that I have become addicted. The delivery is raw and immediate. Connie, you create a belivable character for those of us who live the life. I live in Knoxville. TN where football is a way of life, and Kyle...how can I put this...you are every football mom's wet dream.
What a great cliffhanger for next season. Notice I said next season, NBC simply has to bring back FNL. As for my Question. how different is it to shoot the show on location as opposed to a soundstage
Kyle, watched and fell in love with you on Early Edition with my then middle school aged daughter who is now a sophomore in college! Tonights finale was great. FNL is the only show....along with The Office I have to watch every week. Keep up the great work and looking forward to season two.
Connie and Kyle - you both played your roles wonderfully. I love the whole show and I have to believe since everything was not tied up in a neat bundle on the finale, there are plans to bring it back. NBC should market this show and it could be #1. By far the best thing on TV the whole season. Will Matt and Jules last thru college and beyond?
I love this show! its really easy to relate to! the characters are both appealing and real. please bring back for another season!
I love this show !! When will you know if the show will be renewed for a second season?
Friday Night Lights is easily the best show on TV!
PLEASE CONTINUE IT FOR ANOTHER SEASON!
can you give us any news on whether or not there will be another season?
You are both great actors and so is everyone else on the cast, including my girl, julie taylor. haha
I would look forward to wednesday nights to watch this show and i hope it continues.
It is great for not only football lovers like myself, but every other aspect of life.
Dear Connie and Kyle,
Peter Berg is a great writer but a winning show requires superb acting. You two are the anchors for this show. All the other actors are excellent as well and all of you complement each other. I learn so many life lessons from FNL and I'm 58 yrs. old. If the show is renewed (as it should be), where would you like to see the story line go next season?
Just want to say how much I love, love, LOVE this show. LOVED the finale. Love you both Kyle and Connie, and the 16 yr old in me loves Riggins! Kyle, I have watched you since Homefront, I am SO happy to have you, and this awesome cast on such a fabulous show. I will boycott NBC if it's cancelled!
I love the show, and want to say congratulations on very consistent, and outstanding acting from both of you. I really like the way you developed the characters. See you in Season #2
Congrats on an AWESOME 1st season. I hope there will be many more to come!
GO PANTHERS
Great series!!!!! KEEP IT GOING!! THANKS: Kyle & Connie, and NBC. Best series.
Growing up in rural Ohio - this show sums up my high school years. Texas may have great football, but it doesn't matter where you are from, you can relate to this awesome show. Hope it comes back again next season!!!
NBC executives --- please, please do not cancel this show! Please bring Kyle and Connie back, they are the best married couple on television! If anyone knows of anything else we can do to keep this show on the air, let me know!
Hey, quick Q, what are your guy's favorite NFL football teams? Mine is the STL Rams.
I love the show and have been trying to be an extra!!! How did you get to where you are and do you like working on a tv show?
Love the show...there has to be a season 2! How can we help get your ratings up or guarantee that you will be back for a second season? We already tell all our friends to watch it...do we need to write letters to NBC? You all are great. We love Wednesday nights!
Kyle, Connie, Did either of you think this show would be such a success when you first started it? Congratulations on a wonderful first season!
We love this show at our house and watch it as a family. It's a "date" we keep with one another. Hope you are all back for another season. The characters you two play, as well as the rest, are believeable and likeable - each for their own personalities. AS others say, there is a chemistry that comes across and makes us believe all of you really live in Dillon and play out the drama we see on tv. Thanks, and please come back.
O wow that was a great finale . . . you guys coming back for another season??
How is it working on the show with everyone??
O yeah, Coach Taylor is a cutie! =]
Coley
Hello, Ms. Britton & Mr. Chandler. If FNL returns for a second season, will a majority of the season be during the off-season of football or bounce forward 8 months?
I just want you both to know how impressed I am with your work on this show. Congradulations on a wonderful season! You both are such wonderful actors, so my question for you as an acting student is, in your acting on film, do you use a technique? Connie, I read that you studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse studying Meiser technique, but do you still use that technique on film or have you resorted to something else? I would love to know, because I really admire you as an actor and I think you are one of the most honest actresses on television. Again, congrats and I can't wait until next season!
I love this show. Dont't even thing of cancelling. It's similiar to 'American Dreams". Can't the public have a clean, wholesome, all american show that promotes values and at the same time, shows forgiveness for human focibles? Please, please, bring this show back -- and NBC promote it- it's a show like 60 Sunset Strip- great shows, lousey promotion- and Hello!!! Friday Night Lights-Guess what day it's on!!!
This was a terrific show. The finale was not a letdown. If not NBC, why not A&E or HBO?
quality television at it's best. Keep this show NBC (remember Seinfeld).
I have to know if you are coming back for another season!!! I love this show!! It is the best! Thank you for all your work. It is the best show ever!!!
Kyle and Connie,
I love you. Will you adopt me?
xoxo
This is the best show on t.v. , i dont watch alot of t.v. shows but i watch this every week and watch it on this web page... i always wanted to be a football couch and this makes me even more.... please come back for a second season... best show ever...kyle and connie hope to see you next season.
I love the show please tell me there is a season two on the way. I love the relationship between the coach and his wife, my fiance is going to be a football coach so I kind of get a glimpse into that world through your show, of corse I know it will be much harder. Thankyou so much its an awesome show!
Love this show. Love football. I have Boys who play football. I hope there is a next season. Big fan of Kyle since home front. I love how real you and Connie Britton are together as man and wife. How is married life at home different for the both of you. Is Connie married with children? Last I saw on Kyle you have two girls. Very cute by the way. I'm just curious if art is immitating life or do you take some of the values of the Taylor family and incorporate them into your own?
Hmm Mr. Chandler, first im sorry you have to read all of these, must bore you to death...after i auditioned in austin, i thought it wasnt going to be that great but how wrong i was...by the way when you play a state championship in dallas you might want to book a hotel there instead of downtown austin...go westlake chaps
from a 14 yr old
I watched the season nale with my husband and daughter- about the same ages as you all. We all cried at the perfect way Coach took the news of his new baby. Everything about your show is so dead on. We will keep writing letters to make sure there is a season II, III....
How do we make sure that the show gets back on the air next fall?
Connie,
You and Kyle work realy well together on screen! Very well balanced. I hope we continue to see more. If not too personal, where are you from in VA and what are your favorite memories of VA?
First of all I am one of those girls that absolutely loves football! That's one of the reasons why I got into the show. It would be a huge mistake not to bring this show back. Question for you Kyle...what would you say is your biggest fear and your most proudest moment in doing this show? Question for Connie...How much fun is it doing this show and what have you come to learn while being in this hit show? I don't want to see a good show like this end. I'm a big t.v. and football fan and I know what it's like to win state...we did my sophomore year and it was one of the greatest feelings and experiences of my life. I will never forget it.
Don't you dare take this show away from America's families - we need you all.
Kyle and Connie. You two are so real together. The both of you helped make this show more real. Kyle, I remember the first movie I saw you in was "Pure Country" as Buddy Jackson (I think this was the last name). I have seen you in Greys Anatomy. This by far is your best work. You remind me of my high school coach who led us to the Virginia State Championship. What is your favorite role that you have had throughout your career? Connie, your beautiful and talented. I hope that you get plenty of movie offers in the futer. Once again, you two were fantastic this season and I look forward to season two.
I love this show! It is so true to life. My husband and I love to watch the family situations. Kyle Chandler is my favorite. I have watched him since homefront. Is the show coming back?
What a fantastic show!! Please NBC, bring FNL back for Season two. Both my parents, and a good friend of mine love the show!! He's even a football player on our school's football team. I hope FNL goes for the second season. One more thing, Kyle? You're my favorite actor!!
Mr. Chandler, you are a credit to your craft. I have enjoyed watching you since Homefront. Ms. Britton, you are so true in your role that I have to remind myself you two aren't really married. My husband and I get tickled on a regular basis because y'all remind us of ourselves. Please say that the show is returning next season. I have never EVER been as attached to a show like I am to this one.
Kyle,I've been a fan since Pure Country.I'm a coach in a small town in Ohio and I hope you have as fun doing this series as I do coaching. Hope theres a season two.
Kyle, after I first started watching the show, I hadn't seen the movie yet, so I went ahead and watched it. I personally felt the decision to have the team win was brilliant as well as inspiring. How do you feel about the change? Do you agree with changing how it was originally written?
Our family has a lot of problems right now. We are going threw the "tough times" right now. watching you gives us hope that some day we will get our break too. Until then, we will continue to hope and watch. Thank You for giving us some good in our life. I wish we could meet but I know that would not be of any interest to you. Can't say we blame you. Your busy people with a lot ahead of you. So from our family to yours, Thanks.
Coach,
Did you ever play football in high school?
Jim Kelleher
I absoutely love the show. I did not see the first couple of episodes, but I caught a marathon of FNL one day and watched every single episode. The story lines are fantastic. Kyle, I loved you on greys, but you are just awesome on FNL. Connie, what can I say your just beautiful. I really hope the show comes back next season.
Hello mr. chandler and mrs. britton. i just wanted to tell you that i enjoyed watching the show all season. my dad is a head high school football coach in cumming ga. at west forsyth high school, the show reminded me of my family life. you both are great actors and played the parts great. i look forward to seeing you both next season.
Fist, I want to say THANK YOU ALL! FNL is the single best show to grace prime time ever. It has character, it has grace and it has brilliance. The cast, writers, producers and everyone involved in making FNL are to be congratulated and thanked whole-heartedly for bringing such a wholesome, emotional, morally supplemental program to us, the loyal and eternal fans. I know I am not alone when I say that the FNL Cast has not only stolen our hearts... it has become part of our "family". With Clear Eyes and Full Hearts... we and FNL Can't Lose. Please, PLEASE don't let them take this show away. Is there truth to the rumor that FNL is possibly going to be cancelled?
I agree with everyone else here; there should be a season two and coach taylor should stay in dillion!
Mr. Chandler and Ms. Britton,
I am a huge fan of the show and of your work. I think the show is awesome. It's a great show! I moved from Dallas to a small town, where football is everything. This show helps how a football team and game is much more than a sport. It is an event that brings a community together. By the way, I watch reruns of both Spin City and Homefront.I love them both. Homefront is my favorite TV show. My mom let stay up late when I was nine to watch it when it was on. The theme song is my cell phone ringer. The point is, I found it recently on reruns. I would love to know if there is any way to get the series on DVD or VHS. It airs every Sunday night. This past week Jeff married Ginger.
Sorry to go on about past work. Please know that I think Friday Night Lights is an awesome show!!! Everyone is fantastic on it. I will continue to watch it.
I think FNL is a great show. It is well acted and filmed beautifully. It is not only 'the football show' it is much more than that. I read that six more scripts have been ordered by NBC so you will be back for a new season. Do you think the marketing of the show will be changed so it can attract more viewers not just football fans? What do you think can be done differently to save the show?
My wife and I are also expecting, due in June. We are deciding names and are stuck between Smash and Riggins. Any advice?
Kyle and Connie,
I love you. Will you two adopt me?
xoxo
NBC: SEASON 2 PLEASE!!!
Two questions-one for Kyle and one for Connie. Kyle, who do you draw upon to create Coach Taylor and all of his believable nuances that I remember in my own high school coaches.
Connie, do you consider your character to be the same as the character in the film or have you created a different woman altogether?
This is the BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION and there has not been one that I have enjoyed this much in years! My husband and I are faithful fans and I can't say enough good things about it. You all do a fantastic job and I am hoping and praying that NBC has the smarts to bring it back again next season! Thanks for a great show and keep up the good work!
OH MY GOSH... WHEN IS THE NEXT SEASON ..... I CAN NOT WAIT. PLEASE TELL ME THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A 2ND SEASON.
This is the best show on t.v. , i dont watch alot of t.v. shows but i watch this every week and watch it on this web page... i always wanted to be a football couch and this makes me even more.... please come back for a second season... best show ever...kyle and connie hope to see you next season.
Hmm Mr. Chandler...after i auditioned in austin, i thought it wasnt going to be that great but how wrong i was...by the way when you play a state championship in dallas you might want to book a hotel there instead of downtown austin...KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD and go westlake chaps
from a 14 yr old
I cry every week. It's a beautiful show and I will miss it in the off-season.
I know it's coming back...
This is a great show!
NBC please renew it. If you don't maybe another network will pick it up.
Great cast! Great Acting! Congrats on a wonderful season!
Kyle and Connie you made this a real, excellent show.
What can the public do to help get you all renewed? Lots of us will do it.
Great work!! Great chemistry!! You both are really good in your roles!! My wife and I thank you! Jim
Just saw the finale! I'm going to watch it again and again. To Kyle and Connie: I cannot wait until season #2!
Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. MUST BE RENEWED!!!!!!
One of the best shows on television now (or ever for that matter) and I have logged more tv watching hours than I care to try and add up! The acting is unbelievable from every single character. The raw emotion and delivery get me so engrossed that I fully expect to walk outside of my house and be in Dillon and run into some of the characters from the show. I get completely lost in the show every week. I have been a huge fan of Kyle's since Homefront and I loved Connie on Spin City. All of the newcomers are fantastic and have bright futures ahead of them. Let's just hope their future is with FNL!
Connie and Kyle,
I must honestly say that I am in LOVE with this show. I have one question, do you think that having a show based partly on a movie has given these actors and actresses that have seen the movie more enthusiasm in being a part of this show?
This show is pure Inspiration. It has to be the best show on the air and there has got to be a second season. Watching this has been an inspiration not only as a football player but all sports. "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose"-best slogan I have heard.
Incredible show, talk about it with a group of people at work the next day. The show feels real. I think that is the best way to explain it.
I am hearing positive things about renewal, hope it happens. There aren't enough quality programs out there like this one. This is the one show I look foward to each week.
Great job to you both!
I just watched the state game and the win in the end.... I know it's just a football show, but it inspires in every moment of life. The show from the beginning to the past 50 mins of the most exciting hour, has touched me in so many ways. I cry, I laugh, I get mad, I feel happy and I feel a sense of family in it all and belonging. Thanks for having the best show on TV.
Please, please, please bring the show back! It is just wonderful! My husband is a coach and he just loves it, my daughter and her husband who is a Notre Dame grad watches it (she hates football by the way) I have a girlfriend who dosn't watch any sports whatsoever and she and her family are hooked on it.... It is just so well done. The writing, the actors, it all just touches you...Again...please bring it back!
Connie...
I'm your 2nd or 3rd cousin? Cone and Mary George are my
grandparents. They love the show, and we do, too.
I sent a copy of their 75th wedding anniversary in News Sentinel article to your Dad and Aunt Ann. Keep on keeping on. My son Mark is into acting now and loves it!! Maybe he''ll bump into sometime.
my favorite tv show on any network. please,please, please nbc run another season. possibly do a better job of marketing the show. best show on tv hands down. relationships between cast is epic. tired of reality...refreshing tv is what this is. even my wife loves the show..she hates football...hello nbc? no questions for kyle and connie...just comments that you guys star on the best tv show on...phenominal acting job for both kyle and connie. thank you for entertaining me every wed night.
Kyle I have been a fan of yours since WAY back...Homefront and early edition. You are a very crafted actor I wish you and your show the best! Congrats to your character and wife for the upcoming baby...how exciting.!! I hope the show goes another season. THANKS for all the great shows!!
Hmm Mr. Chandler...after i auditioned in austin, i thought it wasnt going to be that great but how wrong i was...by the way when you play a state championship you might want to book a hotel there instead of downtown austin...Go WESTLAKE CHAPS
from a 14 yr old
i love the show! Takes me back to the good ol days! Keep the flashbacks coming!
Kyle and Connie,
Will you adopt me?
Wonderful season finale! Im hooked. Is there plans for a second season?
I love the show please tell me there is a season two on the way. I love the relationship between the coach and his wife, my fiance is going to be a football coach so I kind of get a glimpse into that world through your show, of course I know it will be much harder. Thank you so much its an awesome show!
Wow!!! All I can say is what an unreal finale. I was screaming, cheering and crying all at the same time when State was won. No show in my 36 years has EVER made me do that! There just has to be a full 2nd season. How does it feel to have such a faithful and loyal following. The relationships on this show are so believeable. I just wanted to tell you both that your work is 2nd to none! Can't wait to see how next season (please, please, please) starts out! Thank you so much for making this show what it is, a true gem in a season of total stinkers! Your show is the best show on TV, not just the best New Show!
Thanks for this AWESOME show...I have raised two girls-both play division 1 college volleyball- they both LOVE this show...It brings back my high school memories and my experiences as a parent...thanks for the family committment in the story line, the truth in the characters, and the absolutely fabulous acting...Looking forward to a second season...
WE LOVE THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2ND SEASON....
COACH, YOU CAN'T LEAVE NOW,
it just won't be the same
Clear minds full hearts.CAN'T LOSE. I love that !! and I love this show. Reminds me of my old high school.. The name began with a P so every time I see someone slap that P it takes me back. We were actually were the greyhounds. But they had a P on their helmuts.
THis show makes me cry every week !! I love each and every one of the characters !!
I'm training to run a marathon, and that quote Clear Minds, Full Hearts .. CAN'T LOSE .. reverberates in my heart and mind every minute of the day !!
I have no question, just want to let Chandler and Britton know I love their characters, as much as the rest of the cast.
(one of our alumni had a brief career with the Cleveland Browns. He was an allstar quarterback but with the Cleveland Browns he became a returner)
I hope you all will be back next season. I don't watch much tv but I don't schedule anything when Friday Night Lights is on. (Plus I'm a Texan transplant!!)
I'm a fan of Peter Berg too, so I was wondering how he came up with this idea.. What motivated him.
I LOVE THIS SHOW !!!!!!!!
Why hasn't the blog started yet?????
Please bring this show back. It is so nice to watch something on TV that doesn't involve murders or ghost. I love this show.
I absolutely love this show. It definitely has to come back. I dont know if I can go all season without knowing what you chose Kyle TMU or Dillion. Kyle please stay in Dillion. You both are beautiful. Please come back next season!!!
Nothing like a football show when it's off-season for NFL and college fb...........and the show is GREAT!
Luv Kyle!, and Tami!, and Riggens!!!!!! - actually luv the whole cast! fantastic show!
I love this show! I read that The show is picked up for at least more episodes..
I am so impressed with this show and all the issues it touched this season. As a West Texan.. I can appreciate luv of TX and football! Best of luck to the show and all the cast!!
JO/West TX
I absolutely love this show....there isn't another heartfelt, family show on tv these days and it is exactly what we need. With reality shows filling the kids heads with fantasy -- it's good to see a good, wholesome show that has strong family values. I hope that NBC keeps you around for years to come. Way to go to all the cast - especially Connie and Kyle!
I have no questions for you right now but I just want to tell you that there's never been a better television show than FNL and you two are the rock of that show. Hopefully NBC will do the right thing and include FNL in the fall '07 schedule when it is announced next month.
How can this season end like that in the locker room. This show better be on next season or i'm gonna cry. This is the best show ever. Here's what will happen. Coach taylor will leave to go to TMU and Julie and Mrs. Taylor will stay in dillon. Jason Street is your coach of the Dillon Panthers.
My family loves the show. It gives us opportunity to talk about so many things that are really going on with high school kids. I am 41, my husband 51 and my daughter 14. It is the only show I watch. No Grey's, no Housewives, judt FNL. Please bring it back for another season.
Thanks for this AWESOME show...I have raised two girls-both play division 1 college volleyball- they both LOVE this show...It brings back my high school memories and my experiences as a parent...thanks for the family committment in the story line, the truth in the characters, and the absolutely fabulous acting...Looking forward to a second season...
I just want to say both of you are phenomenal actors, and both were perfectly cast for these roles. I really hope to see this show on tv next year.
i just wanted to say that fnl is the BEST show on television this year...if nbc doesn't bring it back next year, it will be the biggest mistake they have ever made. the show is the ONLY one my entire family watches. you have no idea how rare it is to have something that we ALL can watch & enjoy. you both do such a WONDERFUL job & i just wanted to say thank you! God bless you both!
Texas isn't the only state that loves its high school football...count Central Illinois among the football faithful, too! Kyle and Connie -- did you play sports in high school?
Kyle,
We went to UGA together. WOW!
My wife is creeped out by the ACCURACY of your 'southern' football coach!
NIce work. I hope you are well!
Hey Mr. Chandler,
I have been a huge fan of your work since you were on Early Edition. I watched all 4 seasons of that show and now I am addicted to Friday Night Lights as well. My question is how was your experience doing Early Edition compare to FNL? Which has been more rewarding for you? I'm praying for FNL to return next season!! Early Edition never got the ending that it deserved, I sure hope that doesnt happen to FNL.
Thanks,
Kyle Trent from TN
If FNL doesnt return next season and if Coach taylor isnt coaching the panthers I will not be the same. FNL and Coach Taylor has changed my life. he is like the father figure I never have had.
is there a season 2 or not? That show was amazing.
I just want to say thank you for a fantastic season, great acting, good story lines. I don't watch many shows but I didn't miss a FNL .. If NBC doesn't pick up another season the state of TV programming should seriously be looked at.
Quality shows like this deserve to be seen.
Brilliant episode. Thank you. Nothing on television impresses me; I watch nothing else with any regularity. But week after week, I am moved, and find myself wondering whether kudos should be given to the actors, the scripts, or the direction.
Kyle? Will you marry me?
Just curious if ya'll are pretty close to each other on set. Does everyone get along, and it seems like some folks could become pretty close while filming the show. Just curious!
Just wanted to let you both know how much I enjoy this show. It's amazing week after week. One of the best shows on television. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I can't wait until next season.
Congrats on winning The Peabody. Was everyone excited to receive such a distinguished honor?
I absolutely love the show! I am from San Antonio, and you guys really get it right. Connie - I have loved you ever since Spin City. One Thing - When you were supposed to be on a balcony in Dallas, the background showed the Austin Skyline. You were just testing the Texans right!
I heard a horrible rumor that the show will not be back next season. Please tell me this isn't true. My boyfriend and I watch the show every week and we argue over what will happen next!! Your doing a great job!!!
Hmm Mr. Chandler...after i auditioned in austin, i thought it wasnt going to be that great but how wrong i was...by the way when you play a state championship in dallas you might want to book a hotel there instead of downtown austin
from a 14 yr old
I have to say that this is the FIRST show ever prompting me to write a Blog. It is truly amazing and admire you, connie and kyle for all your hard work. It surely shows. Thank you for putting all of your heart and soul in such a warm show that promotes family first.
I have a 10 year old son that plays youth football in Florida and they almost won the state championship this past year. I help coach the team. He still watches alot of kids shows but this is the one that we watch together as Father & son in the bedroom when my wife and other 2 sons watch those reality shows in the living room. We really enjoy watching this together and I feel it has been a great time bonding and talking with my son about football and all the other good and bad storylines that went on. Please come back for another season.
One of the greatest shows on television. Please tell me there is a season two.
I LOVE your show! I live in Austin Tx and I really love all of the footage of our great city. I also grew up in Texas and my little brother was a football player so I totally understand how important football is to a community. I really want this shoe to come back for a 2nd season. The news here will be talking about it tonight here in Austin. Hope your show is back.

hey i just wached my first spisode and i loved but the language was horrific please cut this out or lighten up on it and no racial slures
Friday Night Lights is the best show on TV, it brings back lots of great memories of watching/playing high school football.
Will there be a season two what will it be like?
I have to know... is there going to be another season? You guys better be in it! I love this show... you guys are amazing. Mr. Chandler you are halarious
Kyle,
I heard Ben Browder, former college football player now actor, comment on how you have the best job in television. Is it as much fun as it seems?
My wife is from Grand Prairie Texas and loves your show, it reminds her of home(we live in North Carolina now). I hope they decide to keep the show on, I would love to see where the writers take this story next. I think the cast and the writing are under rated and just need a chance to grow more as they will next year. I'm tired of losing good shows after one year just because not everyone caught on right away.
I grew up in Texas; played high school football, and this is the truest depiction of the passion for this sport that I've ever seen. This show deserves to return next season. It is the best thing on TV..period. Go Calvert Trojans
I just watched the state game and the win in the end.... I know it's just a football show, but it inspires in every moment of life. The show from the beginning to the past 50 mins of the most exciting hour, has touched me in so many ways. I cry, I laugh, I get mad, I feel happy and I feel a sense of family in it all and belonging. Thanks for having the best show on TV.
I have no questions for you right now but I just want to tell you that there's never been a better television show than FNL and you two are the rock of that show. Hopefully NBC will do the right thing and include FNL in the fall '07 schedule when it is announced next month.
Totally brilliant -- not just as a season finale but as an entire season of television. I've loved both of your work before, but FNL is just really spectacular. Congratulations to you and to everyone on the show. What an amazing season -- thank you.
Don't leave us hanging! Bring on season #2! NBC execs . . . don't forget how this show affects parents, children, athletes, fans, and curious onlookers. Life is a challenge and that is beautifully and consistently illustrated in this show.
Kyle, I have been a HUGE fan of yours since Early Edition, then King Kong, and now Friday Night Lights. How hard is it making such large transitions in roles? How does Friday Night Lights feel compared to the other roles you've played? What do you like more about it? Keep up the great work!
I like that Coach Taylor goes onto TMU. I loved his character, wish there was a show just about the next chapter of his life.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! CAN'T WAIT TIL SEASON 2. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! THE WHOLE CAST IS GREAT! I LOVE THE STORY LINE. MAKES ME WANNA MOVE TO TEXAS! HA HA HA!
What would you like to see change about the show if it were renewed for a second season and what were the best things about the show this season.
please tell me you guys are dating in real life!
The emotions this show stirs in me are astounding. Great finale to a great season. Here's hoping for more!
I'm going to be in 9th grade next year, and this show has inspired me beyond belief to be a dedicated football player. I'd hate it if this show went off the air after only one season. Are you listening, NBC??!!
love the show, please put in on next year
i love you.
SENSATIONAL AND SO TRUE TO LIFE!!
KYLE...HAVE LOVED YOU SINCE HOME FRONT..KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO!!!
Hey !I loved your show.It was so amazing and encouraging and made me realize that no matter what never give up and push forward.So did you end up staying at Dillon and coaching or going on?
This is the best show ever,do not cancel!!!
I am heart broken that the best show ever is done for now!!!. I really hope it comes back. you guys are the best.
Hmm Mr. Chandler...after i auditioned in austin, i thought it wasnt going to be that great but how wrong i was...by the way when you play a state championship in dallas you might want to book a hotel there instead of downtown austin

Just wanted to say I absolutely love this show. It is my favorite. I really, really hope it comes back season after season.
that was awesome. what was the best part of being in this series?
Austin or Dillon; What will it be?
How long are we waiting for the next season and are there going to be huge changes in storyline and /or characters?
Also, great season, and you two make the show! You two are very inspirational to many!
After watching the finale, I must congratulate the both of you on a perfect season. Thank you for doing justice to not only Texas, but to families, parents, marriage and friendships. I would like to know - What stands out for both of you in your experience with being a part of this magnificent endeavor?
Hello,
I just wanted to let you both know how great the show is! The acting, the writing and the chemistry is so real and believable. Kuddos! My husband and I always look forward to Wednesday nights and I certainly hope that NBC acknowledges this blog board and knows how upset the audience would be if they didn't bring back FNL!
Excellent show. NBC needs to invest in one more season.
I can't believe this show may not be back!!! Please NBC! The Taylor family is the best, and the show is one of the best to come along in a long time. Kyle and Connie, congratulations on a wonderful first season, and good luck to all of us on many more seasons.
Kyle and Connie, I just want to say thank you for your part in such a wonderful show. Friday Night Lights is the first show that without a doubt accuratlely portrays its characters, and isn't afraid to take tough issues head on in a real way. It is the best show on tv, the best family show ever, and perhaps the best show ever and I just want to say thank you and best of luck at award season because everyone deserves it!
this is pretty darn good show
hope it comes back
Ok you two, I need a serious answer: Did you guys cry at the end of filming the season finale?
this show was awsome, put it back on for another season nbc
I absolutely love this show! Connie, you are wonderful in it & Kyle, I have been a fan of yours for years. How is it that you dont' age? You look as wonderful as you ever did! I hope you bring the show back. It's a keeper! Thanks for the brief escape from this wacky world with this wonderful show!!!
Fantastic season.....coach has to come back.....whos with me???
This show is the best show ever! Whens it gonna be on again?
I absolutely love this show!! it must come back, my husband looks like Kyle, I am so lucky!
I Love this show. The acting is as good as it gets. This show has humanity, authenticity, and intelligence. Each shows hits the heart, the gut. You guys are fantastic actors and your chemistry in this show is so believable. You portray real family life. Thank you so much - and please, please come back for many more seasons.
Amazing show. We hope there's a season 2!!
Oh man, you have to have a second season!! We have to know if Coach Taylor stayed!!!!!
We've been watching since the first show. Even when our local station had to show it on SATURDAY at NOON!! Since it was preempted by something else.
Please Please come back.
I LOVE FNL! You guys do such a great job on the show- a football show not about football. I hope it will be back next season....how can I write a letter to some of the actors? i'm not a weirdo, I'm just a 14 yr old fan who wants to tell you guys how much we appreciate your hard work.
SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!
Hi you 2!!!! My husband was just wondering, what in the world will happen to the Panthers without you as their head coach? I have been trin g to tell him that you guys wont go anywhere!!! Hubby seems to think that your daughter will probally start to rebell if you move her..(also a new baby coming on top of that). This is one of the best shows that my family has seen in a long time. Oh, and by the way, we are some no life adults in love with the show. haha!! Will you please set my husband straight and tell him that i am right? that u arent leaving!! Thanks for this great show!!! You two and the rest of the cast are great. Have a good break,, The Barrys
Best show on TV in FOREVER!
I LUV football! I luv coaches! and FNL is a fantastic show!, not just about football, but about life.
I can't wait to see the next season! Keep it on NBC!!!!!
the ending SUCKED!!! Whats gonna happen next season?
I cannot convey the exact words to tell ya'll just HOW MUCH this show means to us...
Not only do we find ourselves cheering for the 'Panthers' as if we're watching a real football game, we find ourselves in the characters you portray, and that is about as awesome as it gets...
We're PRAYING for Season 2...
Love,
From the McPeters Family in TN
Great Chemistry between you two - love the show a lot. Question for you Kyle, when you auditioned for the part of coach Taylor - did you emulate Billy Bob's performance or was that part of your prep? Although I think Thorton did a great job - I am really impressed with how you made this character much more dynamic than Thorton's - keep up the good work and look forward to seeing you next year.
That's how it ends???? Holy craparonie and cheese!!!
My 11 year wants to ask Mr. Chandler if he really believes a comeback like the Panthers had is possible.
I just wanted to say that the Early Edition was one our favorite shows - I will never forget the early episode with the little girl who he saved when he wanted to save the passengers on an airplane (her dad was the pilot - so he did save them by saving her).
Oh my god! Friday Night Lights is my favorite show EVER! is there going to be a season 2 and is coach taylor going to TMU or staying in Dillon?
what a damn way to leave us hanging......is coach taylor coming back? there is no way that NBC cannot have a season two of this show that truly captures the heart of high school football in the great state of TEXAS!
is there going to be another season? if so how long untill there is?
Kyle & Connie
I know in the storyline, u two have pretty much been written off the show.... i was just wondering that, if there is a 2nd season, will u two be returning?
so is he moving to tmu then i'm so confused please answer thanks
Kyle and Connie,
Congratulations on a terrific season! I have enjoyed the series very much! I often missed the regular airing of the show, but thankfully I could catch up on the series by watching online. Hopefully, NBC realizes the shows ratings may not reflect all of the folks actually watching. What do you think about watching having the reruns available online?
LOVE THIS SHOW! Will there be another season? :)
Kyle I have been watching you since you were on HOMEFRONT!
Also, I live in Texas... so for those wondering if this show is authentic... IT IS!
Kyle, I am thrilled to see you have such a great show on! There is a great chemistry between you and Connie. Kyle, I watched you in "Homefront" and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED that show...especially you! I used to rock my baby to sleep watching it, now he's heading off to the Marines in June! Anyway, FNL takes me back to my high school days in a small town, and I enjoy it so much. I thought you would always be great on the "big screen".
I really hope this show continues. It it a great show and we have not missed an issue. Its also the only show we agree on watching. This show must continue. After seeing this final ending there has to be something else. Please keep making the show.
Hey Guys,
This is a great program. Loved it and want it back next season. Thanks to all of you.
Linda
I LOVE your show! I live in Austin Tx and I really love all of the footage of our great city. I also grew up in Texas and my little brother was a football player so I totally understand how important football is to a community. I really want this shoe to come back for a 2nd season.

Great show, great acting, great storyline, great sense of depiction of family values. Thanks for the entertain\ment.
Where was Coach Taylor's Gatorade shower???? LOL!
I really hope your show gets a second season. I'm a 46 year old male from N.H. and I don't watch any of those singin and dancin shows. if your not on I simply won't watch T.V.!
Hello Connie! I would like to ask you if you will be starring in any sitcoms this year?
what do you think of the role of religion on the show?
I wanted to let you know that I like your show very much. My hole family watches your shows. I have all boys ages 11-14. I hope that this show comes back in the fall. I want to let you know that this is one few shows that we watch this as a family. Can you give any insight if this show is comming back.
SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!SEASON TWO!!!

Quickly as to not be a stalker, as word hi that you may not come back, we have started a petition! We love this show please please dont leave. Our small petition has been sent to NBC!
The show is excellent, well written and exciting. The women on the show are fiiine!
Kyle I've been a huge fan ever since I saw you on Early Edition.
IF NBC CANCELS THIS SHOW I WILL STOP WATCHING ANYTHING ON NBC. I swear the guys who run this network are idiots. You people don't know how to markey your shows properly, and you cancel even the good ones. You need to hire people to brand your shows, not take excellently written, directed, produced and acted shows off the air!
I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS SHOW EVERY WEDNESDAY...YOU GUYS ARE AMAZINNNGGGG!! GREAT ACTORS/ACTRESSES!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!! I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL NEXT SEASON...THERE WILL BE, RIGHT????
The family and Love the show. My son and I especially relate to the behind the scene stories behind the big games and the unique bond between teammates. Keep up the good work. Hope NBC brings the show back next week. We look forward to watching it as a family. Take Care
This show has been absolutely fantastic!!! Every aspect of it is great. I'm a guy and I've even been choked up several times during the shows. A second season will be made, anf hopefully more to come. Great job, and great acting.....its sdad to see the season end. Now what will I have to look forward to on Wed nights???
Hmm Mr. Chandler...after i auditioned in austin, i thought it wasnt going to be that great but how wrong i was...by the way when you play a state championship you might want to book a hotel there instead of downtown austin

Jason does a great job playing a quad. How does he work on that stuff. Do you have a quad on staff.

Kyle I love you!!! And Connie you are Fab! I loved your interview with Elliott this morning from DC101.
Connie! You are beautiful and Kyle you are too!! Please do not leave us! This is one of the few true FAMILY shows of any value!

FNL is the best show on television! the only thing anywhere close is Heroes (which is awesome).. nothing gets my attention more then this show. its one of four shows that i feel are actually worth watching. I pray this show comes back next season, and dont pull any punches with the drama, its amazing guys. love it to death.
I was wondering if either of you have read the book and if it influenced your performance at all or what about the story most stood out to you.
Alright, where to begin! My name is Coley and I am 15 from South Bend, Indiana. I love this show more then any show on T.V. It is amazing. Will there be another season? I hope there will be. I love watchin it week after week. O by the way Coach Taylor and Jason Street are great! haha
Coley
JUST DO IT AND STAY AT DILLON! PLEASE...
I love this show, our family never misses it! It is so real to reality, about high school, family and friends and community. Thanks to the writers, keep up the great work!
Kyle Chandler-----------you deserve an Emmy Award!
Great scene with the announcement of the new baby. Very sincere, very moving.
This show has integrity. It needs to stay.
WOW! just finished the show.
I don't do football, but I just scared my cats when I jumped up & yelled when Smash
crossed the goal line. NOW I do football, only on NBC THO.
Great Job all!!
WE NEED A SEASON TWO!!!!!
hey, kyle.
i was just wondering of what you thought of high school football for real. Not just the show. Also, what about marching bands? lol, only cause I'm in a high school drumline.. anyway.
I love the show, also you, Mr. Chandler, are a very attractive man.
Friday Night Lights is the BEST SHOW ON TV. PLEASE DON'T cancel the show. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
First off, Congradulations on a most Awesome program! Question for Connie. Which did you enjoy more, the movie or the series?
OH MY GOSH! This is my favorite show ever. It's like.. my new obsession. I really hope && pray it will come back for a new season.. if it doesn't than people are just fools. So many people love this show! I can't wait to see what happens next!
Kyle, Gotta say that I am a coach myself and I loved the role you played. It was a model for me to follow. You did an awesome job with a great script. Many kudos!! Please come back next year!!!
Love This Show!
I just wanted to let you both know that i started watching the show for my husband who works on wed nights, but it has become my favorite show and my oldest son and i (who is 9 ) watch it every week you guys make us believe that we are living it with you. This is the best show on tv. keepup the good work.
Eric & Tammi have the best relationship! You guys are really great actors and my fiance and I just love the characters you play on the show. Thank you for entertaining us this season and I hope to enjoy many more seasons!!!!!!!!!!
Lori
Kyle you have quickly become one of my favorite actors. Do you have any other projects coming up?
Can we expect space aliens to land in Texas anytime soon?
I Love FNL please keep this show on. It is the best show on TV
West
I just wanted to say that my fiance and I love football and love this show. The two of you in the show are great! I have such a crush you Coach T! You two make us believe that you are in love and the relationship you hold on the show is outstanding! The show does such a great job at depicting real life characters. I thank you guys for the job you do on the show and the happiness your show brings to the viewers!
Hey there is no better show then this do not cancle it please!!!!!! There should be a FNL show is there going to be????? I love this show greatest no matter what
My family and I watch the show religioudly and TVO them all! We do not want you to leave and have even started a petition at work in the event! Are you guys coming back??????? PLEEEEEZZ!
Sure hope NBC renews this great show. One of the best on TV
Excellent show overall. Kyle and Connie are great. Some of the show is sort of predictable at times, but I still like it overall. I just wish that the QB's had better looking throwing mechanics though. Gilford is a decent actor, but his throwing motion sucks. I hope that there is a 2nd season and NBC doesn't pull the plug on a great show, like they have in the past.
They won state! Woohooooo! Kyle and Connie...I loved the scene on the balcony about Tami being pregnant. Was that scripted? It seemed somewhat spontaneous, which was great!!
Hey Kyle! Jeffrey Dean Morgan was just on Rachael Ray this morning commenting on how great it was working with you. How did you enjoy being back on the Grey's set with Jeff in Seattle Grace's "Surgatory"?
Let me start by saying thank you for such an awesome show. You two and the rest of the cast are truly the best thing on tv right now. My question is how has the success of FNL different at this point in your career then it would have been if it had happened right of the bat?
Any crazy twists or turns next season and who is going to be the coach of the team now?
Hey, thanks so much for this.. i just finished my senior season of football and we got beat out of the playoffs by .01 of a point and this last show just got to me.. i cryed my eyes out..lol
but thank you for this show its helped alot thanks
What can fans do to guarantee a second season? Who do we write?
Kyle: I fell for you on Grey's Anatomy, you were so intense. I am so happy that you have a regular show and that it is such a good one. You family is so believeable. I really like this show.
First off, Tami and Eric are my favorite part of the entire show! When Kyle and Connie are in a scene together it's automatically Emmy worthy! My question: Do you want the Taylors to move to Austin?
I just want to say that "Friday Night Lights" is the best show I have ever seen on TV. Kyle is an awsome actor, I have followed him since his "Pure Country" role and am an avid "Early Edition" fan! I love all Kyle's work and hope to see him in season 2.
Did Kyle really get Connie Pregnant - or just on the Show....ddp
What a wonderful show! I so hope there is another season. This is the best show on TV and the only one that makes me laugh cry and cheer all in the same episode weekly.What has been your favorite scene of the season?
Hello Connie: I think you should be nominated for an Emmy for the "lets have sex" episode. My wife and I love watching your acting. Looking forward to next season!
Kyle I love you!!! And Connie you are awesome too. I love this show and truly hope NBC renews it. This is an amazing storyline and I love the chemistry between the two of you. If there is anything your fans can do to help bring the show back please tell us!
Thank you for a GREAT season! You should be proud of your show.
Bill

The show is awesome, look at how many comments have been posted! I watch it every week. Mrs. Britton, I love your character and you do great work. Mr. Chandler, you're great too. You guys have great chemistry.
I just think this is the best thing on TV!!!! Keep up the great work. Well cast with a great story line. I love it!!
I LOVE this show!!!! I hope that it comes back for a second season.
NBC CAN'T take this show off the air.
Kyle Chandler is just too cute!
The last episode is AWESOME!!!!!! I am a high school football player and I watch every week and after tonights show I am ready for some football, and ready to go win state baby!!!!!
How do you keep it soooo real? Great show.
Best marriage on TV. Thank you so much for making me laugh, cry and care. The BEST show -- if NBC doesn't renew, it's a crime.
Friday Night Lights has been my favorite TV show this entire season. What attracts me is the characters, the story lines and the real feel of the whole thing. Bravo!
This is the best show I've watched in a longtime I hope all come back for a next season
MATT IS BEAUTIFUL.
i think the show is great. very good actors. i hope the come back next season...i can't take the idol anymore. this is my Wed. show!!!
I Love Connie Britton!!!!
how do you think julie will take the news that not only is she moving, but she's going to be a big sister? love the show - i was just SCREAMING at my tv during the game :)
GREATEST SHOW ON TV!!! Preggers ... I LOVE IT! This show is not going to be taken off the air - there are a million networks in the world, and this show MUST be made. I love it. Great work all the way around. :)
is there going to be FNL season 2?
We NEED A SECOND SEASON!!! This is me and my usbands FAVORITE show on tv!!!!!
I love this show! I watch it EVERY WEEK! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!! ZACH GILFORD WENT TO MY HIGHSCHOOL! GO WILDKITS!
What was the transition like, moving from shooting traditionally to the way FNL shoots?
Your chemistry is amazing -- what is your relationship like in real life?
Connie and Kyle:
I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for being a part of one of the best shows on television right now. I have a been a fan since the pilot episode, and have had tears in my eyes for most of this season finale right now.
You two have great chemistry together and I truly hope to see you back next season.
This show is a really great show.
Best show on T.V.
If there is not another season of FNL, someone must be insane. A show of this caliber absolutely cannot be canceled. NBC, please, PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW!
is there going to be FNL season 2?
Will you let Riggins babysit your new baby?
Friday Night Lights is one of the best shows on TV. Guess that's not particularly original, but I wanted you guys to know you have some real hard core fans out here. Great show, great writing, great acting, just outstanding. Thanks for a great season.
This is the best show ever. Both myself and husband agree (which never happens!) Thank you!
Will there be a second season of Friday Night Lights? I think that it is the best show on TV and NBC is making a big mistake if they don't bring it back.
First off, Kyle, you and I have the same birthday...too cool. Second thing...Connie, do you prefer comedy or drama? And why?
Hi - I was listening to an interview Peter Berg gave on NPR's Fresh Air today and he was talking about how the show is shot fast, without strict scripts and sometimes with actors tripping over each other and wondered if this is fun, liberating, frustrating, interesting etc. Also, wanted to say that I have been a fan of Connie Britton's since she was on Bruno's team on the West Wing, another fabulous television program. Lastly, Peter Berg mentioned that one reason FNL hasn't done spectacularly in the ratings is that it might not appeal to women viewers and I know that once anyone gave the show a shot, they would find something about it to keep them coming back!
thanks for a great premier season and here's to many more .... please, NBC?!
I would just like to say that My husband and I love this show. We are very busy people and rarely watch television and have rarely gotten hooked on a program but we really love this show and will be really mad at NBC if they do not bring it back next year. My husband also really liked Windfall and we are unsure if it will return. Please tell us if there is something more we can do to make sure FNL is back next year. Thank you
This show is amazing.
..I posted the filming comment.. I meant to include that I do like the show.. my mom attended Permian HS the school which was the subject of the book. The Texas mentality about football is authentically recreated... it's rabid!
Season finale is more than half over right now...just have to say...could Coach Taylor's reaction to Mrs. Coach's pregnancy be any sweeter????? :D
This is the best show ever!!! i always look foward to wednesdays!!! PLEASE LET THERE BE ANOTHER SEASON!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Why the cost cutting filming dowtown Austin for the coach's hotel in the 4/11 episode? instead of Dallas... Texas is the 3rd most populous state.. did you think we wouldn't notice?
Great Show, Great Acting! Bring it Back! Refreshing to have a quality television show to watch rather than reality TV. Brings back good 'ole high school memories! KUDOS to the writers of Friday Night Lights! Excellent cast, crew!
I Love this show. The acting is as good as it gets. This show has humanity, authenticity, and intelligence. Each shows hits the heart, the gut. You guys are fantastic actors and your chemistry in this show is so believable. You portray real family life. Thank you so much - and please, please come back for many more seasons.
I just wanted to let you both know how much I love Friday Night Lights. I actually care about all of the characters on the show. I think the writing is terrific and the acting is excellent. You both just bring such "realness" to your characters that it is refreshing. I actually have a good feeling after watching the show, which is not very common these days. I hope you'll be back for a second season!!
In Mud Bowl episode, my wife and I were cracking up when the cows started coming toward Connie. You let out a chuckle, were you really kind of scared when you let out that laugh and moved away from the cows?
There MUST be another season!!!
PLEASE answer this will this show be coming back for another season? WE LOVE IT!!
I am a full grown adult. Yet my wife and I can truly say we are in love with you guys and your great show. Best characters. Best casting. Best story lines. Most authentic show on TV.
Wow, you've taken a football story and made it into the most palpably "real" story about people and life on TV in years. Please come back next year.
Thank you so much for a wonderful show.Acting ,storyline,awesome!!
Kyle, you are wonderful,I have been a fan for years,The whole cast is a refreshing break from lousy T.V.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

KYLE AND CONNIE,
THANKS FOR THE BEST NEW SHOW OF THE SEASON, ARE YOU GOING TO BE BACK FOR SEASON 2?
IF SO, WILL ALL THE REGULARS BE BACK?
Connie Britton will you marry me? And if no do you have a sister between the ages of 18-22? Thanks
Good show and good acting!
Thank you for the best show ever Connie and Kyle.
i really like the show because its the best show i've watch in a really long time. i was wondering want are we in store for the second season? good luck on the second season.
Connie you're great!
In our school we just have Astrid Aubert!
One thing I especially love about this show is how the high school kids are all so respectful of the adults, whether it's their parents, their teachers or their coaches. Is this really how things are in Texas or is this just characters reading their lines? I am in awe.....
Is it true that Taylor Kitsch(Tim Riggins)is coming to Norway?
A boy in my class is a psycho look-a-like, seriously!
I love FNL and you Connie Britton!
I hate football! But LOVE your show! My husband said tonight was the last show period? Please tell me that is not right. Tonights show just started and I can't wait for next season to start. If NBC doesn't bring you back, then they have no committment to FAMILY SHOWS! Your clean, your right on target with the teens and drama. Your the best program on tv!
Pamela B. in Tennessee
Perfect is the right word for your show and acting!
Absolutely perfect!
Nice show, I love it.
Could you please tell Taylor Kitsch that my best moment ever,watching a show, was when he said "How 'bout Saracen sleeping with Coach's daughter?".
Best comment ever, seriously.
Friday Night Lights is the greatest show I ever have seen, and NBC would be dumb not sending a second season.
Thank you for season 1 of FNL, it was GREAT!
Kyle and Connie,
are you married and do you each have children? does the writing in any way help you in communicating to your own kids? i have actually learned a few parenting tips from you 2! :) that's pretty cool.
i'm 42/male and i love the show! you are both very gifted actors and i hope we continue seeing you and the cast on a season 2!
Friday Night Lights is my #1 favourite show on TV. I am a 43 year old wife and mother and enjoy the drama of your show. The characters seem to have amazing chemistry. Each episode brings back memories of my highschool years. I laugh, cry, etc. I sure hope that we will see you again next season!!! Keep up the great work and enjoy your summer!
I love your show!!!
Connie, I have been a huge fan of yours since Spin City. I am a coach and you are a carbon copy of my wife. Have you been a coaches wife or at least been around one before? You seem to have it done to an art. Thanks for the great season and I am so bumbed out it's already over.
You guys should be proud of yourself, all the actors in FNL are great, you play the role with passion.
That's why I like the show so much, my favourite.
Thank you for 21(soon 22) episodes of tip-top-entertainment!
We heard that you don't rehearse the scenes before filming starts--that the actors just memorize their lines independently so the action seems more real. Can you tell us more techniques you guys use to make the show seem so realistic? How does the filming of this show differ from other TV shows you two have done?
I fell inlove with you connie and kyle, and all the other characters in Friday Night Lights, after just watching 2 episodes.
Great show, that I adore.
If NBC maybe promote the show a bit better, there will be more people watching it.
Pleas let there be a second season!
I love Friday Night Lights!!! My boyfriend and I watch it every Wednesday night that it comes on! I hope there will be another season! Will there be?
Each person is great in the role that they play. It's a great show.
Brilliant,brilliant,brilliant show!
There's got to be a second season.
Tim Riggins is my favourite, me and you Tim, me and you.
HI KYLE AND CONNIE,
JUST WANTED TO LET YOU THAT I LOVE FNL. I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL WEDS NITE TO SEE THE SHOW.I AM PRAYING THAT NBC HAS YA ALL COME BACK FOR A SECOND SEASON.I TO GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN NOT TEXAS BUT IN UPSTATE NY AND WAS A CHEERLEADER FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM THIS BRINGS BACK SOME GREAT MEMORIES.YOUR SHOW IS WELL ACTED AND TRUE TO LIFE, EVERY WEEK I LAUGH , CRY AND CHEER THE TEAM ON. THERE IS NO BETTER SHOW ON SO FAR THAT CAN MATCH FNL ACTORS OR STORY LINES.WELL JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH.I HOPE TO HAVE AN ANSWER ABOUT FNL COMING BACK FOR A 2ND SEASON AND FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
Connie and Kyle...
I absolutely love the show...I recently just started watching it and I got hooked immediately ...?...do you think you could set me up with Zach Gilford...he is so adorable!!!...keep up the great work!
NBC!
Please let there be a second season!
It's so brilliant!
Thank you for all the great moments I have had infront of the TV watching Friday Night Lights!
Praying for a new season to come.
Hello!
No questions, just wanted to tell you that Friday Night Lights is my favourite show and it's awesome, thank you for making it such a great show!
And I hope there will be a second season!
I really hope you all know how you have touched many of your fans. The show is moral, deep, and so true to American society. The script for this show is absolutely superb, and so deserving of a second season. I am 25 years old and I have been attached to only one other show in my life and that was "Tour of Duty" when I was just a young boy. I have never missed a FNL episode and will never. I hope NBC releases the series on DVD set as well. Thanks again you guys for bringing such a heart felt picture to our eyes.. Hope to see you both in Season 2.
Congrats on the peabody!!! I want to thank you for this wonderful show, it opens lines of communication between me and my 15 year old H.S. baseball player.Connie said in last weeks episode that the kids of Dillon Texas needs her, and I want you both to know that America needs this show for its excellent moral compass.
My question is are you guys as close to the young actors as it seems on T.V.?
Hey Guys,
I love the connection between you both on the show. Watching FNL reminds me of my high school and the pressure young teens are under..What I really want to know, is Taylor Kitsch single?!
As a mom, and athletic dirctor at a local school, I want to tell you how realistic the story line is for the show. I watch each episode at least two times. I feel in love with the show right from the start. I always miss something the first time around. The camera angles are unique and this show deserves a 2nd season!
First, thank you so much for this fine show. I love everything about it. As an out of state Texan :) I can so appreciate the climate of the show.
My question is if the show is renewed, will you relocate to the area or will you continue to maintain homes in your current area?
I hope NBC gives you folks another season....Remember. Seinfield took 2 seasons to develope the fan base. Its the only show that gets my entire family into the TV room together...Thanks
Friday night lights is the BESt show ever!I really hope yall will have aother season! I'm so excited about tongiht!
This is the best show on television... It has been yrs. since I had a must see show, one in which I haven't wanted to miss!! Both of you, as all the characters on the show, protray your rolls with such conviction...please tell me there'll be a next year!!!
Hey guys,
I know this sounds old by now, but thanks for making a show that really does touch the heart of my family. My wife and I can relate to this show a lot after growing up in Southern Virginia. We now live in downtown Chicago and watching this show makes us feel like we're back home....in the south. Again, thanks for being a slice of home to us when we're far away from it.
and the obvious question: will there be a season 2? NBC would have to crazy not to make it happen.
p.s. - kyle, loved you in Pure Country! would you say that you're country at heart?
Kyle and Connie,
I always look forward to seeing the show every week. I would be so sad if it were to be cancelled! You two are such great actor, is there any other work we can look forward to seeing from either of you? Good luck and keep up the great, wonderful work! I am a HUGE fan!!!
Hi Kyle and Connie,
Congrats on making a GREAT show. The on screen chemistry between the two of you and between all the members of the cast makes this such a great show to watch. I hope NBC will invest more in advertising the human element of this show so that we can keep you all around. However, if tragedy strikes and there are no more episodes, what is the best memory you will take with you from the show? How has this been different from other work that you have done? Kyle, loved you in "Early Edition", love you now, stay the good guy. My best to you both,
Jen B
Cincinnati, OH
FNL is one of the three shows that I consider a MUST WATCH; the entire cast is wonderful. IS THERE GOING TO BE A NEXT SEASON? Who do I write to urge for a yes answer?
Just one question, well actually a question and a comment......This the best damn show I have seen in a long time, oh and Is there gonna be a second season????? I'm addicted, I need this is show in my life!!! I'm gonna protest at NBC headquaters if it's canceled...............
Do you two know whether the show will be next season. It is such a great show, and I'd hate to see it go.
Hey Connie and Kyle. Kyle, I just want to say I think you are gorgeous, ha. And Connie, you are an amazing actor, you and Kyle are. I just want to know if there will be a second season of this awesome show. Thanks!
Oh and Kyle:
Thanks for the line that said "Guys think about sex every hour of every day." My dad must say that every day now to my sister and I. Hahaha.
Love you,
Steph
Hi Kyle and Connie,
I love you both! Being 19 with teenage siblings being raised by our father, I'd like to say Friday Night Lights is the only show my whole family can come together every Wednesday night and enjoy. I strongly hope NBC brings it back for another season to keep that relationship strong.
My question is what is the funniest thing that happened on set this year?
Thanks,
Steph
Kyle & Connie,
As you can see from all the other comments I am not the first to say how much I love this show! Who do we write to to let them know NOT to cancel the most intelligent, gifted show that I have seen on tv in a very long time. I don't even like football that much! The two of you have such great chemistry and the rest of the cast are so talented. Your show is definaletly the next TV guide cover for "BEST SHOW ON TV THAT YOU ARE NOT WATCHING!!!"
Hey! I love both your guys' chemistry together, it's awesome.
My first question is, obviously the show is getting a chance to get a full second season with the six additional scripts, how confident are you that the show will go past those six scripts?
Second, what do you guys like most about having scenes together? Is there anything impromptu about your guys' scenes? You guys have alot of chemistry as an onscreen couple then I've seen in most couples and even my parents, is that something you guys try to create or is it natural?
Kyle and Connie -
wanted to let you know that you guys are AMAZING actors! i love watching you guys on fnl every wedensday and i hope there will be a second season to the fantastic show! Thanks for being so great
I cant wait for the season finale...I just hope there is more to look forward to next year. My husband and I comment on a weekly basis that your characters hear our conversations at home because the dialoge is so authentic. Please let us know the status for next season, I am sure that is a burning question for all Friday Night Light Fans....
friday night lights is probably my favorie show ever. i have not missed one episode. i probably watch the good ones over and over. i was just wondering if yall were going to have more seasons because i probably would be lost with out it if yall didnt so hopefully yall willl. i cant wait to see the finale tonight!
Hi I just wanted to let you all know that this show is really great. I love the storyline and I think you guys are great and I really hope that you come back for another season. BEST SHOW EVER!!
Hi Kyle and Connie,
Tonight's episode is bitter-sweet for me because I can't wait to see what happens, but I don't want the season to end! I grew up in TX but recently moved to FL. This show is the only thing that reminds me of home. I miss the small town atmosphere and FNL brings it back to me every week! Keep up the great work! Do not let NBC cancel this show!
Much love to you both!
Kyle and Connie, Congratulations to you and your fellow cast members on an amazing first season. I have been a loyal viewer of FNL since the beginning of the season, and despite the fact that I cannot stand football, I ADORE this program! I truly hope you guys are back in the Fall with a full second season.
Kyle, I was an audience member last October on the day you appeared on Martha Stewart's show in NY - it was great to see you in person. I hollered UGA, but I don't think you heard me. My husband is a UGA alum, too. Go Bulldogs! :)
Question for you both - I find all the characters on FNL to have so much depth and substance. Do you share any personality traits with your on-screen personas? Do any of the actors contribute to the writing of the show?
Lastly, with so much talk in the media and in the online community about how FNL is so loved, but not watched, do you find it challenging to stay focused on your work and not worry about ratings, despite being in a vulnerable position?
Thanks for your thoughts...I wish you guys the very best...but, mostly I wish that we all get to continue watching you next season. You guys deserve the recognition and respect - your work is probably some of the best acting on TV these days!!
Does NBC keep track of all the folks that watch FNL episodes via the internet. This is a new generation and we're all busy but I watch FNL via the internet when I can't be available for the 7:00pm timeframe. I'll bet there's a lot of us watching every episode from the net.
We love the show! I'm so glad it's on early enough for me (as a new mom).
I also would like to hear Connie's comments on the cow scene- I laughed out loud when the cow meandered her way!
Also, how did you prepare for the roles? Did you work with a voice coach for the twang or hang out with the locals (my husband and i are both from TX and appreciate the authenticity of the Texas twang)?
Connie, did you find it difficult to transition your role in the movie into the tv series?
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I tell all my friends to watch!
I do not miss any of your shows. I hope you will be back for another season. Your show is absolutely phenomenal! Cannot praise it enough. Keep on keepin' on
Connie & Kyle,
I'm 57 years old and have watched every episode since the beginning. I didn't start out watching, it was recommneded to me and I actually paid to watch the first episodes that I had missed. The characters are so real and their stories were my stories. I can relate even today to the trials and tribulations of growing up in high school, the sports, the relationships, the dreams, the hardships, what a great show. NBC really has no idea how good of show they have hear. I watch the on-line versions of the episodes also along with the interviews. This is the only show that has caught my attention for years and I will miss Wednesday evening watching FNL. You have all poured your hearts into this show and it is obvious to us watching. Thank you for sharing this with us. Best wishes for another great season!
Just to let you know, we all love the show! I started watching it at the very beginning have been hooked ever since. I found out my good friend was watching from the beginning as well and also loved it.....now we tell 2 friends and they tell 2 friends and so on and so on....it has become a regular topic of conversation when we all meet!!!!
I heard some disturbing news??!!! Is it true that NBC is thinking of not renewing this outstanding program?!!! It would be awful if this was true. Let us know if there is any truth to this horrible rumor. If it is true, let us know where we can write in and start a protest...I know many many people who will jump on board to save this show! Your guys are great!!!!!
My daughter and I do NOT miss an episode; I even hate to delete it from my DVR because a day later, I am still connected to the story-line and the characters.
Beautifully, beautifully done!
Who can I write at NBC to say "Keep it coming!"
Bless you both for the fine job you do every week. Your show is beautiful. The writing and the acting are brilliant and moving. You make me happy it's Wednesday.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
MY Family of 6 absolutely LOVE your show. I am wondering if you have any influence on the writing? I have 3 boys and 1 girl all active in sports (cheerleading and football included). They love following the storylines but are mad when I make them leave the room when their pretty graphic sex scenes and heavy drinking involved. Any way of influencing the writers to make it a little more kid friendly all the time? love you guys!!
Your show is just captivating..I just love it..Great actors with great chemistry and great storylines..The plots and topics you have touched are so realistic. You really show how tough it can be to be a teenager as well as having to guide them. I hope there are many seasons to come. Thanks
Hey Kyle and Connie,
I am a huge fan of FNL. I havent missed an episode, I love how it's not just about football and it shows that there is life outside of football. Connie I noticed that you also played the wife of the coach in Friday Night Lights the movie, so do you have the football terms down? Another question for the both of you will there be a season 2? I have to tell you both that you have to be the hottest couple on t.v. yet.... Last thing just wanted to say thanks for making a show i can connect with and enjoy.
Kyle, I have watched you on tv since Homefront. Every tv show you have been on has been so good! Keep up the good work! I like Connie also you both make a good couple on tv. Hope the show continues for years! I wasn't sure I would start watching Friday Nights but when I saw you were in it I knew it would be a winner!
Good Luck
Love the show. Can't wait to see what happens next!!!!

connie &kyle ,
How hard will it be to improve on a perfect show.
The pressure is on. Unless
you make the episodes longer.One hour a week is not enough.
The way your marraige is portrayed is so true to life and you both have wonderful chemistry. Did you feel comfortable from day one or has it developed as the season has progressed?
Also, what's your relationship like with the other young actors on the show? Do you all socialize outside of shooting?
And what's your favorite thing about this show?
Thanks - FNL is my favorite!
We have 2 teenagers aged 17 and 16 and this is the first show in years that we all watch as a family. It is truly the best show on TV. The acting is brilliant. The writing is so realistic, this could be anyone's small town. I love these characters, flaws and all.
NBC Please renew this series for next year.
Hi Kyle and Connie,
Your show is my absolute favorite on TV. I would not even miss it on our recent vacation to Disney World. Connie, your advice to your onscreen daughter about sex was perfect. I hope to remember it when my three daughters enter their teenage years. The family atmosphere on this show has been missing from tv for too long. Thank you for giving us a great show to enjoy.
Hi Kyle and Connie,
I have to say that my favorite show has been Grey's Anatomy until I started watching FNL. I love this show. It by far is the best programming on TV. Are you coming back for another season?
Thanks and keep up the GREAT work!
I would say that you two are the best looking couple on TV. It is easy to care about all the characters in the show...and makes one feel a part of the small town and the family life that you have. Can't wait for next season!
LOVE THIS SHOW. THIS IS THE BEST DRAMA ON TV THIS YEAR. PLEASE TELL ME THERE WILL BE A SECOND SEASON!!!!!!! THE ACTING OF ALL CAST MEMBERS IS FIRST RATE.
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV!!! I SURELY HOPE YOU ARE COMING BACK AGAIN FOR ANOTHER SEASON. THE CAST IS JUST PERFECT!
Kyle,
I loved you on Early Edition and love you more on FNL. You are the best looking man on tv. I live for Wed. night. Great show. Can't wait for another season.
Love ya
Just want to tell you that this is one of the BEST shows on TV for teens. I'm the mother of a 15 year old girl--she's been watching from the start and I started watching in February. I'm totally hooked, as she is. Keep up the good work. Love the entire cast--very talented.
First of all, I am relieved to hear that NBC has asked for 6 more scripts. Hopefully, they will realize what a great show FNL is. Second, I wanted to ask you a question about your on-screen relationship. Obviously, you two are an extremely believable couple on screen who have dealt with so many genuine topics that all couples go through. My question to you is, how much of your off-screen relationships carry over when you are playing husband and wife on FNL? Are we watching a snapshot of your real lives, or is it that you are just that good of actors?
will you guys be back for a second season i really hope so because this show is the best
Connie-
You've starred opposite Jack Bauer and Coach Taylor -- who is the more imposing figure?
there are so many rumors that the show is not going to continue? please tell us this is NOT true - it is such a great show!!!
Hi. Im norwegian and i watch this show every week. I dont have a question, just wanted u both to know that the show has fans all over the world, and that everyone on the show is doing a fantastic job: actors, writers, producers...Thanks, hope to see more of FNL!
I cannot remember the last time I awaited with such anticipation for a TV show to air. My husband and I do not miss an episode. We are completely perplexed as to how this show is not more popular. Excellent! Excellent!
Absolutley magical! Kudos to the writers and directors and especially the actors for bringing such realism to our Wednesday nights. My daughters father is a coach and I have seen the drama that your show "Friday Nights Lights" captures so brilliantly. CONGRATS, you have a winner
LOVE THE SHOW! My husband & I await Wednesdays with glee. Excited about the last episode, but, sad too. When does the season start again?!
only that your show is without a doubt hands down the best hour television in decades. I am finding new viewers for you one day at a time! I adore you guys.
Question for you BOTH: What has been most rewarding for you in working on the series over the past year?
By the way... I played football here in Texas and have coached for the past 17 years. You guys do a great job portraying what it's like... on both sides of the whistle!
Just keep the show going!!!!! It's the only show I make sure to watch.
As a former sports writer who covered high school football games in Florida, I find this show authentic and must viewing.
Your show is so inspiring, both as art and in its wise content... I'm wondering if either of you have felt your values changing, or becoming clearer as a result of some of the story lines?
Thank you for all your work on this show - I've fallen completely in love with it.
hey kyle and connie, i love watching this show every week and it has really kept me hooked with it but is there going to be a season 2???? i have heard yes and i have heard that it may not be brought back for another season. Just wondering if you knew.
Hi there Connie and Kyle,
I first off want to start out by telling you both, what a great! run and time it has been watching Friday Night Lights!
I myself am a hockey person, play, live, breath it, and since playoffs is right around the corner, the state I live in, is going hockey crazy here in Michigan, but somthing about this show, caught my interest and is holding on tight! and I am VERY happy, I love this show dearly.
I just wanted to thank you both and tell you both, how great it has been watching the two of you in FNL, you two portray a married couple extremly well.
My question is, I heard nbc has ordered 6 new scripts, so that tells me there will be a season 2, in the continued success of FNL, what's the secret between you two, with the portraying of a married couple? As most I'm sure would think you two, to be married in real life, with how comfortable you both seem around each other.
I watch Friday Nights every night on NBC and then afterward i always call my grandma who also watches. I love football, but never really understood it, but now i can finally watch a game live, on tv, or on the show and scream and cheer when they did something good and then boo when the ref makes a bad call... I hope you are both going to come back for season 2!!!!!! i love the show the caracters and drama is real, what was it like working with such a great group or actors? and what is season 2 going to include? thanks and hope to see you next year! :)
First of all I want to congratulate you on receiving the Peabody Award!!! Our family loves this show! We are a football family. One son has been playing for 10 years and the other 4. My two daughters both are football cheerleaders. So...I am sure you can see how this is our favorite show. It's the one night where we all actually sit and watch a program together. I don't really have a question that you haven't already been asked. I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy inviting you all into our living room every week. We are all hoping for a second season. Oh! I do have a question. Kyle, do you move your family to Austin with you while you are filming? You and Connie have to be the most amazing married couple on TV! Love you both!!
Hello Kyle & Connie,
Kyle, my wife has been a big fan of yours ever since Pure Country (even though you played the bad guy!). We are both law students at the University of Texas. We are both from Oklahoma, but we came to Austin to start law school the same month that FNL went on the air. I don't normally watch TV (we don't even have cable), but I'm hooked on Friday Night Lights. I think it is an excellent show and I constantly urge my friends and family to watch.
I believe that the show has a perfect mix of rural/Christian morals, small-town affection, great acting & filming, and a dose of how mixed up and crazy the real world can be.
NBC are fools if they don't bring it back for many more seasons in the future.
Austin loves you guys! If you stick around I'm going to have to track down the show & become an extra somehow, someway. Is that possible???
Dan.
Question for both: The actors on this show have such amazing chemistry that I have to ask -- Did y'all audition with each other before the final decision as to the cast was made? The two of you are both established names but the younger actors are not. Julie, for example, has such terrific chemistry with the both of her parents and then individually with each of Coach and Tami so the father/daughter and mother/daughter relationships are also nicely fleshed out as these separate relationships. Did Aimee Teegarden have to audition with each of you before she was cast for the part? How about Aimee and Zach Gilford? They are so cute together! Zach and Landry? They are so natural together as best friends. (I could go on but I'll stop.)
Question for Kyle: You may not know this but your Hair has a large following on the internet. You have the most emotive Hair of any actor I know. It can express happiness, anger, betrayal and can even foreshadow. The fans of your Hair get quite disappointed when you wear that baseball cap. Do they do anything special to your Hair before each scene to make sure it expresses just the right kind of emotion? Are there lines written into the script telling your Hair what feelings it ought to emote? (Connie, by the way, your hair is also very beautiful and has its many fans. It's just that Kyle's Hairis beautiful as well as super talented.)
All kidding aside, you both deserve Emmys for such a realistic portrayal of a happy, trusting and equal marriage.
This show is seriously THE best show on television right now. PLEASE come back with season 2. :)
I think you guys should advertise more.. you'd get a LOT more viewers.
Thank you for making your home & school families real. As Texans, parents, mentors, you are believeable. No other TV show has united the younger and older members of our family like the FNL family has. The two of you in particular deserve special recognition. Please know that we are all praying for more next season!
Season finale? You mean there is hope they are bringing this fantastic show back. I've enjoyed watching you both through the years on TV and hope to see more of you.
I have been folowing Kyle Chandler since he played the little I really enjoy the characters he plays. What has your been your favorite role?
Hello Connie and Kyle! I just wanted to basically comment and say that I think the show is fantastic, you two really have something going! It takes a lot to get my full attention for a television series..the last show I watched faithfully was Third Watch a few years back...so kudos for you two...your phenomenal work keeps me coming back for more!
How has filming in Texas been? It's a great state with so many different cultures, I hope it's been a pleasant experience for you..this coming from a fellow Texan!
Thanks again for the outstanding performances you deliver on screen!
Jessie
Lubbock, Texas
How do manage to portray such a realistic married couple?
Kyle & Connie,
DO you feel FNL has offered you both room to grow as acotrs compared to previous series that you have done.
If you were given the decision on where next season and the rest of the show could be filmed, would you stay here in Austin or move it somewhere else?
FNL is by far the best show on TV....I've been trying to convert my friends to becoming loyal followers. I hope NBC doesn't make the mistake of not renewing its contract. I adore the relationship between Kyle & Connie. This show is just filled with fantastic actors and wonderful characters. The writing & directing is phenomenal...It is, hands down, a fantastic show and every person who is affiliated with it should be extremely proud of their accomplishments. Keep up the great work & good luck in State!!!
I'm a 21 year old college student, this show ranks right up there with the likes of the Sopranos and Entourage. The writing is excellent and all the characters mesh like crazy. If they cancel, I think it's obvious NBC doesn't like ratings!!
My husband and I never miss Friday Night Lights. We have never been the "loyal fan" types but this show is excellent. We heard today that it may not continue next season. It's hard to believe that the reality shows stay on air when a quailty show like this may be cancelled!!!!!!!!
This is such a great show. I love it i know it is probably a little old for me but I still love it. Is there going to be a new season of this totally rad awesome show? Also, this is the thing that gets me to endure the secouns half of my week wed. to fri. Well, see ya.
Hi Kyle and Connie,
The cast as a whole works AWESOME together. My husband and I crawl into our bed every Wednesday night at 8pm to a much anticipated weekly viewing of FNL. It will be such a huge bummer if FNL leaves NBC...More TV shows should follow the lead of FNL. The same thing happend to American Dreams. I hope to see you next season!
This show has touched so many different people in and around my community. You MUST have another season of Friday Night Lights. It IS the HOTTEST show on the air, I personally would rather see American Idol leave before FNL. The creators of this show MUST be brilliant. This show is great for NBC, they would be crazy to not have another season of FNL. Keep up the GREAT WORK! From all of us in Amsterdam, Ohio, we congratulate you on a great show!
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! You cant get rid of this show. I relate to it, plus its the only good show on during the week.
I'm 49 and love the show. My whole family tunes in. I agree that if NBC nixes you guys, I'll boycott them.
I haven't enjoyed a show this much since "Dallas".
Question: Are either of you presently working other acting jobs, i.e., movies, plays?
Keep up the great work. WE WANT TO SEE YOUR SHOW NEXT YEAR.
Hi! First off I just wanna say that I am 18 years old and I LOVE this show! Of course it helps that there is such a great storyline and a GREAT looking cast (I mean look at Taylor Kitsch *wink*wink*). I just wanted to know what its like working with such a young group of actors? Also, Connie and Kyle, what is it like having to portray parents? Is that difficult to do? You guys and Aimee do a fantastic job! Also, would you guys be willing to do an interview for my high school newspaper (and one of the number one award winning newspapers :))the Milwaukian? Best of luck to ya!

Hello Kyle and Connie!! I cannot even begun to tell you just how much I absolutely love this show and hope that it will come back for another season. Everything about the show is wonderful. All the young actors are dong such a great job not like the other shows with teenagers in it who can barely act. This show is so amazing and look forward to it every single week.
My question is how is working with all the young actors on the show, especially Aimee Teegarden and Zach Gilford? I think they are both so talented and bring authenticity to their characters. Thank you!!
Hey guys, Just wanted show some love from the hoards of extras, crew and background actors gathered here at 3rd Base Sports Bar in Austin, Tx at the official FNL FINALE WATCH PARTY!!!
Thanks for all the great memories.
Kyle & Connie
First I want to begin by saying what wonderful chemistry the two of you have on screen and was wondering had the two of you ever worked together prior to FNL?
Love the show!
Kyle and Connie,
I just wanted to say that this is a wonderful show! It has warmth, humor, drama and an extremely talented cast that makes it all come to life.
You are ALL doing an amazing job! Thanks so much for bringing quality back to television! I'm SO hooked!! :o)
Now a question: What do you each enjoy most about the character you play? Would you change anything if you could about his/her personality & why?
I simply love this show and certainly hope it continues next season. My husband and I have two teenage boys (17 and 15) that both play hs football. The experiences you have as parents on the show and your reactions are perfect! Question: If you weren't actors, what do you think you would be doing as a profession? Thanks!
The show is very special because of the authenticity provided by filming on location.
Do you enjoy filming on location?
Are there any difficulties of not having a standard set?
And Connie, how difficult was it acting with those cows in the field? Your face was priceless when the cow started to approach you. How many takes for that scene?
Does your family join you for the duration of filming or do you travel back and forth on the weekends?
I'm 46 and this show is my addiction!!! I hope a DVD is out in time for Mother's Day!!!
When will we ever know if you are being renewed for a second, fabulous, can't wait for Wednesday night, season???
What can I/we do to ensure you are all back?
Proudly from Austin, Texas
D. Kerrigan
Kyle and Connie,
My wife and I love/watch the show every week and record it if away. As the parents of two teenage boys, lovers of football, and having lived in a small NC town similar to Dillon, we can certainly relate to the show. We also fondly recall you both from Early Edition and Hack. Go FNL!!! Bruce and Ellen
I'm a theater major and none of us seem to recall any television show with such consistent intense choices that need to be made, both in writing and in acting. With such demanding storylines and what we imagine to be a moving target when it comes to storyline - how do you rehearse? And have there been any particular scenes that given a second chance, you would now approach differently?
Connie and Kyle,
I don't watch TV series since all the reality shows began a few years ago, but your show has given me a reason to watch TV on Wednesday nights. I look forward to your show every week. It could not be better acted by the entire cast.
What a wonderful, well crafted program.
Thanks,
Julie Rees
I just want to say that this is the best show that I have ever seen. All of my friends and family love it too and we call each other during the commercials to cry and guess what is going to happen next. The characters are so real and so well acted. Please tell me we get another season!!!
I am 20 years old and my husband and I watch this show every week. This is our favorite show out of all of the shows we watch. When we watch the show I can feel the emotions. This show to me is more like a reality show and not some written script acted out in front of a camera. Connie and Kyle are great, the love and passion they have on the show for each other just feels so real. I think so many people like Friday Night lights because the show in general feels so real. I hope NBC never cancels Friday Night Lights.
I love the interaction between Kyle and Connie as a couple on the show. I know Kyle is married and wondered if he is being the person he is at home with his wife. Connie, you portray a very concerned and convincing Mom. I saw the interview on NBC's Today Show and was really interested in the fact that you don't rehearse-you just go in and do the script. I really believe that makes the entire show more convincing. All of the teens are great to watch. Anyone who has a teenager should sit and watch this show with them. FNL isn't just about football-it is about teenagers, families, and the trials and tribulations we all go through. We watch as a family each week and always look forward to the next episode.
hello! I am 42 year old from Miami, fl. female I have 3 kids,we all love the show, I think is fantastic, keep up the good work.I think kyle and connie make a great couple.I hope there will be another season.
I love this show. I'm not a big football fanatic, but I love Kyle Chandler and the rest of the cast. They do a great job and the show is very "real". I love it and if NBC cancels, I won't watch anything on NBC again!
Friday Night Lights is simply the BEST show on television! I'm a woman in my mid-40s and I love this show - in fact. my whole family loves it!
My question is HOW do the two you have such amazing chemistry? I've seen my share of TV "marriages" over the years and your portrayal of the Taylor's is the most realistic I've ever seen. Thank you!
The Emmy people should just deliver your awards ASAP!
I'm 17 and my whole family sits down to watch FNL every wednesday - this show is Teh Awesome! That's actually my question! Kyle: Is Connie as patient and awesome as she is on the show? Connie: Is Kyle as grumpy and awesome as he is on the show? ;) Thanks!
I'm a complete tv addict, and this show is my crack. Nothing else on tv even comes close to it in terms of acting, writing, directing, music, editing, everything. This is the most consistently excellent show I've ever seen, and what tv as a whole should aspire to be.
That said, a lot of the people here have been commenting on the chemistry between Kyle and Connie. Was that immediate - did you two just click - or did you have to work on it or get to know each other? What are the relationships like on set?
Thank you for being a part of a such a spectacular show. As a Southerner who from Tennessee, I understand about life revolving around sports in a small town.
What have been your favorite moments from the first season?
A 51 year old here that thinks this is the best show on television and if NBC thinks it should cancel then hear this, I for one will cancel NBC. Great cast, good story lines and incredible filming. Thank you Kyle and Connie for headlining such a fine and dedicated group of actors. Vive la FNL!

Hey Folks!
Awesome Show - I too am 38, female and just love it.
What are your hours like shooting? 5 days a week 12 hour days? less? more?Explain to us - What is a "typical day"? Keep up the great work - and keep FNL going!
We love this show, but the CAMERA CREW IS DRUNK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. Am I the only one that ends up nauseous after an hour? Yes, I get that it's suppose to be an effect but get real, I have better control of my head and don't fling it about when listening to someone talk or even when I'm speaking. This show and Medium drive me crazy with all the jumping around over the screen. Surely, the rest of you are bothered by this.
Frankly, I just tuned into the show at the beginning because of Kyle Chandler! I would watch him in just about anything! Keep all your Brad Pitts' and Tom Cruises', Kyle is the hottest guy on any screen!! Sure my Husband knows, and my kids keep changing my screen saver from the photo of Kyle, to "Dwight" from The Office. But I do keep changing it back! Hope the show lasts just for the view!!!
I love this show and am so hoping that NBC has enough sense to see how well the program is loved and hope they will bring it back. Do either of you know the answer to that?
We love the show. We appreciate all aspects of the story. Our son plays football and our daughter was a cheerleader. But most importantly it covers what alot of kids deal with in high school. The good and the bad. Very well covered, filmed, the music and the acting is superb! We hope to see you next season! God Bless!
Hey Coach Taylor!
With this season coming to a close, how will Tim Riggins be part of the show when he cant be on the team?
I just wanted to personally thank the entire cast and crew on this project. I am not a tv watcher, I'm not a football fan, I'm not even fond of Texas, but this television show is captivating in every sense of the word. I am a 33 year-old single father of 2 young girls so I don't get alot of time for myself, but I find a way EVERY Wednsday to watch this program, and I hope I continue to do so for MANY years to come. This show defines the word entertainment, so again thank you to each and everyone that makes this possible and PLEASE keep it on at 8:00 Eastern time and for years to come!
To Kyle and Connie,
I'm 38 years old and as you can see from other comments here, I'm not the youngest or the oldest. Friday Night Lights is THE PERFECT genre!! People that are watching this FABULOUS show range from pre-teen to Grandparents! Can't beat that...FNL is so captivating and brilliantly done. I demand another 9 seasons at least. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kyle Chandler and FNL!!! To Connie, I love you in this show MUCH more than the big screen version of Friday Night Lights.
WE LOVE FNL!!! Just tonight at dinner we were discussing that the best part of the show is ya'lls relationship. It is refreshing to see couples that truly adore each other and yet can have their independent views. This show has been very refreshing to us as a couple at our age, 40s, having kids in high school and middle school we realize that so much of what you're showcasing is truly what is happening in today's society. THANKS NBC... do NOT cancel this show PLEASE!!!
Hi Connie and Kyle,
Whoever did the casting for FNL was genius! The chemistry between the two of you has been so real, and the relationships you have with all the fantastic kids are equally admirable. My husband and I are grandparents, our kids love the show, and so do our grandchildren. This has been the most refreshing and wonderful television this year. I never lived in Texas, and I'm not much of a football fan, but I adore the program. My husband says he's already depressed that the season is almost over. How has it been leaving your homes and living in Texas such a great part of the year? Kyle...we remember Homefront and Morning Edition, but this is your role of a lifetime.
This is far and away the best show on TV. The acting is amazing from such young actors. The dialog and the relationships are very well done. I hope to see much more next season !!!
GO PANTHERS !!!
PS.Tyra is hot !!
All time favorite show ever! Favorite characters are Tami and Coach! It is refreshing to see cool people working on a relationship...DON'T CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!! FNL during real time football season will be the best! Thank you both for all you do-you are excellent actors.
I've been hooked since the beginning. This show is unlike any other - it's so real and human and I am so MOVED, SO many times during the show. It makes me laugh and cry and just FEEL and I hope to G-d it is back next year. My daughter and I e-mail back and forth the next day and between the two of us we probably could recreate the entire show.
QUESTION FOR KYLE: Did you have any trouble with your character not telling on Smash when his steroid usage was uncovered?
QUESTION FOR CONNIE: I LOVE the way in this week's episode that you said you would NOT go to Austin. If YOU were in Connie's position would you do the same thing? Why or why not.
I hope you will renew this show... it is my favorite of the season.
PLEASE DON'T CANCEL THIS PROGRAM !!
Hey guys, love the show!!Can't wait for a second season. Congrats on the Peabody award. :)
Mel from Brownsville, Texas (check the map; it's there)
This is absolutely the best show on television. It sorts through many generations and confronts reality. Please let us have many more seasons... One more quiz show and I'll go nuts and/or turn the set off. Thank you for treating the watchers as adults with minds and thoughts.
This show is amazing. Thank you so much for playing such a realistic tv couple whose relationship is not falling apart. This show has been amazing to watch. I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode and it has never let me down.
What has been each of your favorite storyline so far? and I understand that many of the lines are not scripted and there are no rehearsals for a scene, so how do you prepare for a scene? do you all sit down and talk about how it's going to go or just wing it?
o yes.. and by the way.. aimee teegarden is a cutie.. even though i'm 22 years old... :)
Is there going to be a 2nd season? I LOVE this show. This is the only show I keep up with.
How much of the dialog is by the actors, not scripted? Do they give a framework to follow and then you ad lib the rest? The dialog is so real and it seems to catch other characters off-guard sometimes. Thanks!
I absolutely love this show! The chemistry between Kyle and Connie is awesome! I hope the show is returning next season!
All - I love this show. I live in the New England area and I wish our community was as tight as the show and as it appears the Southern area. I think this is great and makes me want to move to a close nit community. I'm in my 30's and this show has values beyong any show I have viewed in a long time. I love the comfort and story lines all of which are true facts of what happens in life. Great to all of you - thanks for each week - I totally look forward to it!!! Thanks again! Brenda
My oldest daughter is a Varsity Cheerleader and my youngest is a Jr High cheerleader. Last year our team won state. We love this show! I think every parent should watch because you guys really do tackle the everyday problems these kids face. Please don't let the show get cancelled!!!
texas cheer mom
We love this show at our house. We record it each week and watch last weeks just before the new one plays. We admire the integrity you bring to the show as Coach and Guidence Councelor. The entire cast brings such reality to the characters they play. It is worth bringing back for many years. We will miss you, so hurry back.
As the parents of a son who played on a championship team, we would like to say just how much your show is right on target. Connie, you and Kyle show the pressures that your characters must endure each week. You and the other members of the cast are wonderful, and I look forward to seeing you again next year. I will miss you, so hurry back. I'm keeping the last show recorded so I can watch it each week your gone.
This question is for Kyle--During the episode Mud Bowl, there was the scene in the fancy stadium when you were talking to the other coach. During the course of the conversation, you reached over and pulled something off the other actor and flung it away. What the heck was that? A bug? Left over lunch? What?
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful show. The cast is great and I look forward to Wed. night tv. In fact this is the only show I watch live (I tivo the rest) because I cannot wait to see what happens. The chemistry that you both have together is amazing and so believable - you truly forget you are watching a tv show and think you are listening in on a neighbor's conversation. I know there is no question here, but I had to tell you what wonderful actors you are. Keep up the great work!
Kyle & Connie.... THANK YOU for talent you and the rest of your cast display every week. This show has talent from the acting to the writing! I am so impressed with this show and it is now my favorite on TV. Tell NBC not to break our hearts by not renewing it.
Hi Kyle and Connie! Why do you think the fans of the show are so loyal and continue to watch every week and begging the network for a second season? Would you act the way your characters act with Julie in real life--like about her relationship with Matt Saracen?
Thanks
Was Tami more like Julie or Tyra in high school?
I think it's been hinted a few times that she was the 'fast' girl who got hurt by a bad reputation that she warned Julie about, but I'd love a backstory.
When will you start shooting the second season? The first season was my favorite show on TV
Regards,
Tom, tdjordan365@msn.com
My co-workers and I love your show! Once the morning after the show hits, we have to devote a portion of it discussing the events that took place. We even bought an autographed picture of Kyle because one co-worker has been in LOVE with you since the beginning of your career!
We all just want the show to continue on because it gives us a real look at a 'normal' family that goes through normal problems...I'm 23 and it reminds me what high school was ALL about...please stay!!!
Please don't cancel this show, it's amazing...everyone at my college loves it!...is it gonna be cancelled...please answer
I just want to say that this show is amazing! I love all of the characters and their interaction.
My question is for Connie (and I know that there are a lot of other females out there wondering this very same thing...), is Kyle a good kisser? He looks like he is!
Cancellation of FNL by NBC would be as poor a business decision that a network could ever make. There isn't a show on network tv that offers the reality of every-day life on a consistent program schedule. Hope to see you next season.
My husband and I watch your show religiously every week. I love how the show tackles everyday issues such as family values, friendships, loyalty, and honor as well as spotlighting serious topics such as rape, infidelity, and mental disabilities. I am really enjoying the metamorphosis of Tyra Collette. I pray that she and Landry become closer as a result of her recent attempted rape. I think they would make a great couple. Thanks for providing us with hours of quality entertainment.
will this show come back for another season this is my favorite show to watch and want to know if it is coming back for another season
Great show-will really miss show if it is cancelled. Cannot believe that Network would be so foolish as to cancel this series. Thanks for a great season!!
MY SON AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THIS SHOW EVERY WEEK THIS IS OUR BONDING TIME TOGETHER. WE REALLY LOVE IT AND HOPE IT WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR. THIS IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV
My wife and I love this show, we drive an 18 wheeler over the road, this is the only show we pull over and watch.
We try to time it so we are in a major metropolitan city during this time, plus we also make sure we have it recording on our DVR at home. We recently heard this show was going to be cancelled, please tell me this is not true. Use this email if it will make a difference keeping the show on the air.
Sincerely, James Smith
best acting in network primetime. please don't cancel.
My husband & I love this show, and being the parents of a 3-year old, it is one of the few that we make the effort to DVR and watch after stories and bedtime for our little one! We really relate to Eric and Tami in many ways: I am a 3rd grade teacher, my husband is a guidance counselor/b-ball coach, and we were both raised in smaller towns. Although we adore both of you, this particular question is for Kyle: When you were filming the scene with Connie about Eric possibly going to Austin and leaving Tami & Julie behind, how challenging was that for you, knowing that you had spent the past several months separated from your own family while filming FNL in Texas?
I am the mother of two highschool football players, and we have about 6 starting varsity players to our home every Wednesday night to watch the show. If we miss, I have to tape it and reschedule the night. Of course I make pop corn and the works. This is one of the best shows I have seen on TV. You are on the money with what these kids are going through. I pray you continue to produce such quality TV for our children, and me too!
i am a huge fan of this show! The second i saw the first episode i was hooked! You both are amazing actors and i would be dissapointed if there wasnt a second or even third season. My question is actually for Zach Gilford and i odnt know if wither of you would know the answer to this question but is Zach single or taken? haha
thanks
THIS IS ASOULUTELY THE BEST SHOW ON TV. pLEASE COME BACK FOR MANY MORE SEASONS.
If Jason Katims came up to you and asked what would be the one storyline/plot point you'd like for your character, what would you suggest and how in your minds would it play out?
Has the show been renewed for next season? I haven't heard and this a one show that my husband and I make time for every week. Great cast - great stories - characters that you can care about.
I am a hugh fan of your show I'm hearing that there isn't going to be a season two is that true? Congrautulations on winning the Peabody Award. By the way I think Smash Williams is really hot
I am a hugh fan of your show I'm haering that there isn't going to be a season two is that true? Congrautulations on winning the Peabody Award. By the way I think Smash Williams is really hot
I have heard a rumor, and I pray it is unfounded, that the show is not coming back. If that is the case, what can devoted fans, like myself, do to be heard? This is hands-down the best show on television!! FNL is a breath of fresh air in the stale world of T.V.!!
I'm from Delaware and wondering- does the cast get on the NBC site and read all the comments people post about the show? I personally love the show and find it very true to life. Some people seem to think it's not true to life, but believe me it is!
I loved both of you guys in your previous shows, (Spin City and Early Edition) and I am so glad you are both in a new show that is so much fun to watch! My mom, my husband, and I are addicted. I am glad to see there is a show that has parents who are involved in their childs life. So many shows now portray parents more as 'friends' and less as authority figures in their teens life.
One of the best scenes in this show is the one in which Smash and Coach Taylor are playing football with the kids in Smash's neighborhood. My question is for Kyle: was the little girl that you swung around your real-life daughter?
Friday Night Lights is the greatest thing on TV right now and y'all are absolute perfection. I've been trying to get the word out to everyone I know about the show. Is there a plan to put Season 1 out on DVD sometime soon? With a gag reel? I've seen the behind-the-scenes footage from the Today show, so I know that hilarity ensues around y'all.
love the show look forward to wed.night
hope you guys are back
pass on the rape and by polar junk
stay with fun thing like riggs says life is tough enough don t need reminder when i m home
but the show as a whole is tops to me
later ike
We love having ya'll here in Austin. Are there plans to continue the filming next season here or is the rumour you will be moving true?
i just wanted 2 know what's going 2 happen with julie and matt on their relationship if she's moving away,and i wanted 2 know about layla and jason and if they are really broken up?
i have to say this is the absolute best show on television. it brings back great memories of when i played (even though my team went 1-9). great show, great actors.
I love the show and think everyone who is involved in it does a wonderful job. My question is, has there ever been any talk about Coach's and Tami's backstory? What is their history? There have been a few little hints and I'm hoping that in season two (and I'm confident that there HAS to be a season two) that we will learn a little bit more about Eric and Tami.
Btw, I know I watch the show too much when I start saying "Y'all" to people--and I lived almost my whole life in northern Illinois!
I just want to congratulate both of you along with the rest of the cast, crew, and writers for making the best TV show I can ever remember having the honor to watch. The Peabody is more than deserved. I can't even believe we're worrying that a 2nd season may not happen...it makes me sick to think that it may not happen. Everyone I know whose watched the show is now an addict. I love, love, love the show, and I love both of you as your characters. You are supremely talented. Best of luck...we're all rooting for you!
I absolutely love this show and am praying for a second season. I would like to ask if you could clear up a couple of points about the previous shows. Has Jason Street gone back to school or has he gotten his GED? Is there going to be any mention of Lyla's destruction of the car dealership? Thanks for any further enlightenment.
i love this show .its s.please have another season fnl.how did you do all the football games
As soon as the credits rolled on this last show I wanted to talk to someone about it, especially Connie's character! So well-written a character; she supports her husband as he revels in self-importance, without giving an inch in her determination to see these troubled teens through their crises. When she said she wasn't going with him to Austin, I was so impressed!
Who is your model for this woman??
Hey guys. Congratulations on finding your way to such a quality show and thank you for bringing such class to TV. I was wondering where you would like to see your characters go in Season 2. There are so many little moments left yet to explore (I'd love to see Coach teach Julie to drive - comic gold!). Best wishes and fingers cross for a renewal of the best 'reality' show on tele.
First off, I love the show and you guys do an awesome job!! I have a question for Connie. Which Friday Night Lights did/do you enjoy more filming, the TV show or the movie?
I completely love the scenes where the Taylors get to interact. It seems as if you have great chemistry. How much improvising have you gotten to do?
I'm crossing my fingers here, hoping there will be a 2nd season!
I would like to know which of your scenes from season one you're most proud of, and why.
I'm a huge fan of the show and am crossing my fingers for several more seasons of this unique, wonderful, high-quality show. Thank you, the other members of the cast, and all the crew for the hard work you do and the great work you give us every week.
Hey Kyle and Connie. First off I just want to say that I am COMPLETELY OBSESSED with your show. I love it so much and you both deserve to be nominated for an Emmy.
What I would like to know is the moving situation that the Taylors have been in. It seemed like the family has moved from town to town, but Coach knew Jason since he was little and also knew Buddy. Did the family ever live in Dillon before or was this their first time living here?
You both have mentioned how working on this show is like the first day of rehearsal for a play. Do either of you plan to head back to the theater at some point? Possibly during a hiatus?
We absolutely love your show. All the actors are perfect for their parts. I heard rumors the show is being cut. I might have to boycott NBC if that happens. By the way, we live in San Marcos. Keep up the good work.
Hello, great work, great show. I was wondering if you both are interested in directing, and if there is a chance anyone from the cast could direct episodes of the show. I would be very interested in seeing each of the cast directing an episode, each time telling the story from the persective of that particular character. Thank you.
You have freedom to play with the scripts a bit (your writers ROCK too!). Will you tell us about a scene that might have evolved in rehearsals from what was on the written page between your characters? There's fun talk on the boards about the cow pasture scene in "Mud Bowl" where Tami giggles and moves away from an approaching cow. It looks so natural and yet I wonder if that was really Connie moving away from the cow... Thanks for an awesome season y'all.
Best show on TV. What's the backstory for your couple? College sweethearts? How much improvising can the cast do? Peter Berg has vision. How involved is he with FNL beyond Exec. Prod.? NBC needs to promote more, and give FNL a better (later)time slot. FANTASTIC ALL AROUND
In one episode Coach asks Julie what happened to her friend Lois...I'm so hoping that's a shout-out to Tess Harper...I adored Jeff, I loved Gary and I lusted after Jake...Coach Taylor brings all that out...thank you!!
First I'd like to say thank you so much for being a part of this wonderful show.
My question is: do either of you have a favorite scene you've shot over the course of the season, separately or together? Any scenes that you really feel you knocked out of the park?
Thanks and here's hoping for a second season!
Hello
My Question Is
Taylor Kitsch, is he that bitter angry and haunted in real life? Hopefully not.
First off i love this show, it really gave me something to look forward to each week. The question i have is whether there is going to be a second season and if so have you already started shooting the season?
Thank you and i hope you will be able to answer my question!
Sorry, it's me again, well i just wanted to say that i am on the verge of tears, if this show gets cancelled i don't know what i am going to do week after week, not haveing anything to look forward to, well i have to admit i watch Grey's Anatomy, and that's why i watched the Pilot of FNL, because Kyle was on Grey's, but when i watched the Pilot, i was blown away, for this was the show that really touches me! (i was said when you blew up in GA by the way) (BUT HEY! you came back in the after life! LOL) well hey, i really hope i don't have to have a sad summer because there won't be a second/third/fourth/fifth....(lol) season, well, i love you two!!!! xoxoxo
Hey you two!! I just want to start by saying you are two AWESOME actors, and to keep up the good work! WOW!! Are you seriously reading this?
OK, well i was wondering, even though you don't know yet (or maybe you do) if/when Friday Night Lights gets re-newed for a second/Third season, what are your thoughts on what is going to happen? Use your imaginations a little! I LOVE THIS SHOW! I LOVE you both, and..well..i feel so cool right now, i REALLY hope you are reading this, and feel how much this show means to me! A LOT! seriously. Well i will see you in the Finalie and Next Season (Praying)

Hi, i'm Ryan Walsh and i have a few questions about Friday Night Lights. Is the season finale the last episode, or will there be another season. I love both of your characters because your words and actions build the show and make it perfect.

I love your show. I see to it that I don't miss any episode. FNL is fantastic. Great acting by the both of you and also the young casts.
Do you happen to know what is in store for the second season? I always believe that this kind of quality show will be renewed.
Congrats on the Peabody Award.

I was wondering if the producers have mentioned anything to you about a second season or if theres any talk about it with other cast members?
This is a great show the only one i need to see on tv right now. Hope to see a season two!
Hi guys, thanks to you and everyone else involved in producing such a quality show.
My question is, what one scene stands out as the most difficult for you to act? And do you watch the completed episodes?
With the way the film is edited, I can only imagine watching looks nothing like you'd expect while filming.
Love this show, it's my favorite thing on television right now.
What's your favorite moment from the show, or what moment in particular stands out for you? Any that were particularly difficult/fun to act in or watch?
Hi there guys,
Thanks so much for participating in this. You're show is amazing and it's an honor to watch it week to week. My question: How was Texas different than what you thought it would be? The way you guys shoot the show with the on-location style is it's own character and it adds to the beautiful storytelling. I would like to know how it's different from what you've done before and how it affects the overall experience of shooting. Texas is a great place and it comes through in the way things are filmed. I'd like to know how it affects the overall process of the show. I'd also like to thank you guys for your contribution to what is considered by many of us to be rare television - art, if you will. We appreciate it.
Hi guys. I have to say this is one of my favorite shows in a long time... and I'm not even a football fan! Thanks so much for your hard work. What episode of FNL was your favorite?
Hi, My name is Benji. I am eleven years old and I love Friday Night Lights. I can't think of a question right now, but I just to tell you all that I'm a big fan.
Thanks for making such a great show. And thanks to my wonderful, amazing, pretty and perfect mom for typing this. You're the best mom ever. (okay, Benji, that'll do! LOL!)
I hope you come back for season two. Maybe I can be an extra sometime.
Thanks and have a nice day,
Benji,

Love the music. Who is the artist playing at the end of the April 4th episode?
Hello, Kyle and Connie,
First of all, I just want to say that FNL is one of the best shows out there and I hope you all come back for MANY seasons!
Being a very proud Born Again Texan, I'm curious as to y'all's impressions of the Lonestar State. What do y'all like best about Texas? What are some of the things you can live without? What are some of the things that you all miss when you're not here? Did you get to see the Bluebonnets this year?? I hope so; They were beyond description!!
God bless and hopefully, we'll see you for season two!

This is the one show that needs to be renewed, everything about it, is outstanding, the acting, casting, story lines, it is captivating from beginning to end. Whoever the sponsors are, I'll buy their products.
This show is so well balanced, it is a joy to watch.
Just wanted to let you know how exceptionally terrific we think FNL's is. I am 57 and my daughter is 21 and we love the show. It appeals to all age groups. The acting, themes, directing, writing, characters, plots, photography are superb. Can't wait for Season 2!!!!!
How long does it take to shoot one episode? How many hours do you work/day?
I got one burning question for Kyle and Connie...Is this the last season of Friday Night Lights? I have heard rumors that it was cancelled after this first season. I hope it is just a rumor. I love watching FNL. I got my DVR set for every Wed. night to record FNL whether I'm home or not. I haven't missed one episode. I plan on buying the first season on DVD when it comes out. You guys make life fun by getting to watch your show. Please make at least 10 seasons...I need another DVD collection...lol!!!
Will there be a second season?
Well Hello Mr. Chandler and Ms. or Mrs. Britton, how are you? I was just wondering what the focus of next season is going to be? Also, have you started shooting for next season yet? Well thats pretty much it.
O also, just wondering of course, but how many emails do you guys receive on a daily or weekly basis? The reason I ask is I wanted to know if I'm one among few or many emails.
Finally, I just wanted to say I am not some no life adult in love with your show. I am a no life teenager in love with the show and characters. That is all thanks for the time.
