Question: OK, so I am older than the target demographic audience (18-to-49-year-olds) that the advertisers are seeking. But my husband and I do enjoy Friday Night Lights, as does our daughter who lives in Berkeley, CA. (And she is a member of that desired audience!) My question is: Does it help to do the old-fashioned thing and write a letter or email supporting Friday Night Lights?

Answer: It can't hurt. So I'm sending your email on to the proper authority at NBC. It's a shame that the ratings aren't better for FNL, although I've had some emails from would-be viewers who can't tolerate the show's at times jittery hand-held camera approach. Whatever the reason, it looks like a first-rate series could be going down the drain after this season despite NBC's very best efforts to keep it afloat.
