The Latest on FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

1 There has been a lot of news lately so I figure FNL deserved it's own post. The show will premiere on DirecTV in October then move to NBC in 2009. * Press Tour Alert: FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Exec 'Spoils' Season 3! * FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS star recommends illegally downloading episodes, but Zach Gilford, who plays Matt Saracen, has a solution for those "FNL" fans without DirecTV: "If I were such a good fan, I would go ahead and download it, but then in good conscience, turn your TV onto NBC when it comes on," he says. Still, "FNL" boss Jason Katims thinks waiting is the best option: "I would like to think that I would be patient and wait and watch the real version when it was available to you." * DirecTV to air FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS LIVE, a "postgame" show with the cast. * Will the NBC version be different? * Scott Porter (Jason) will say bye after 4 episodes. * Eight months will have passed, what will happen to Tyra and Landry?
