NBC sees the Lights
11/13/06 08:23 PM
NBC has become a team player with its
low-rated but critically acclaimed new series. The
network gave Austin-made Friday Night Lights a
surprising but gratifying full-season pickup Monday
after doing the same with Studio 60 on the Sunset
Strip last week.
"We're proud to reward an authentic, poignant series with a full-season order, demonstrating our confidence in its appeal and quality," NBC entertainment president Kevin Reilly said of Friday Night LIghts.
ABC also has picked up What About Brian for at least the rest of this season.
