Friday Night Lights fans rejoice, it’s baaack! NBC has partnered with DirecTV to bring back a 3rd season of FNL. So basically, DirecTV is sharing costs with NBC to produce and string the show across multipurpose platforms. I don’t know if it was the mini-footballs that were sent by FNL fans to NBC that saved the show, but whatever it was, it worked.

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Great news!
    Now I hate DirecTv a little less.

    I wonder if they will incorporate the death of injured football player who was the insiriation for Friday Night Lights into the next season?
    That would mean Street would die! No way!!

    ohhhh good good happy day for FNL fans! Signing those petitions worked!

    I didn’t just sign petitions – I sent Clear Eyes and light bulbs with “Keep the lights on” written on them in sharpie.

    YAY! I’ve never tried so hard to save a show. I love this showwwwwwww – I love my brooding Tim Riggins, my shy Matt Seracin, my soulful Jason Street, my sexy Coach Taylor. Hell I even have a girl crush on Tammy Taylor.

    Producer optimistic about return of ‘Friday Night Lights’

    By DERRIK J. LANG
    AP Entertainment Writer

    “Friday Night Lights” just may score another season.

    Executive producer Jason Katims said he’s “incredibly optimistic” about a third season for the drama, which has been in limbo since the writers strike ended.

    “There’s no deal yet for the show,” Katims said Wednesday at the William S. Paley Television Festival. “But we are being incredibly optimistic that’s going to happen and happen soon.”

    Although a critical hit, ratings were low for the show, which depicts small-town Texas life where high school football is king.

    When viewers last saw the Dillon Panthers, the team was gearing up for the playoffs. Because of the writers strike, which halted most TV production, seven of the 22 episodes NBC ordered for season two weren’t produced.

    Fans have fought to keep the show on the air, launching http://www.SaveFridayNightLights.tv and asking viewers to send donations to fill NBC entertainment chief Ben Silverman’s mailbox with miniature plastic footballs.

    “I think the answer is going to be pretty soon,” Katims said. “I have a feeling we’re two or three weeks away from knowing.”

    A spokeswoman for NBC said Thursday the network had no comment.

    Katims said a third season would likely pick up after the planned events of season two. However, the series would integrate unused story lines into the new season, which he said could begin filming as soon as July.
