Friday Night Lights, NBC’s critically acclaimed, but low rated drama ends its second season tonight, after 15 episodes.  At this point, fans don’t know if they’ll ever see another episode, thanks to some rather disparaging remarks from Ben Silverman, the head of NBC Universal.  So here’s what you need to do, if you’ve ever watched Friday Night Lights and enjoyed what you saw, this is the time to act.

How you can:

• Watch damnit!  Especially if you have a Nielsen box.  PVR’ing the show is great, but networks haven’t figured out how to actually use PVR numbers to their benefit yet (plus, FNL already rocks the PVR stats), so watching live is better.
• Tell everyone you know to watch.  Especially if they have a Nielsen box.
• Email NBC.  Tell them why you love the show.
• Sign every petition you can.  Like say, this one.
• If you don’t own the season one DVD’s, buy them.  Come on folks, they’re less than $20 bucks.  What are you waiting for?  Seriously, they are $18.99.  What is wrong with you?  Here’s the Amazon link to make it easy for you.
• If you see an FNL related article on a major news outlet’s website, comment.  Believe it or not, comments made at TV Guide, Entertainment Weekly, Zap2It and many others are actually read by executives, or rather, their assistants.

At this point, things aren’t looking great, but there’s still a chance FNL could end up on NBC’s sister channel USA Network, or even another network.  Honestly, speak to any fan of this great show and they’ll tell you the same thing, ‘I don’t care where it airs, as long as it’s still on.’  Here’s hoping it will be.
