The network and DirecTV have finalized a deal for a 26-episode order (two seasons of 13 episodes each) to the series about a Texas high school football team.

Under the pact, "Friday Night Lights" will continue to premiere on DirecTV with a second window on NBC.

Praise the lord above! Yes baby, yes! [woot woot!] This is the best (TV-related) news I've heard all year. Despite its critical acclaim, everybody knows that the series was *this* close to getting canceled, due to it's low ratings. But the Gods over at NBC and DirecTV must've worked up some magic because not only is Friday Night Lights coming back, it's coming back for two more seasons! This show has got to be one of my favorite shows of all time (up there with Veronica Mars), so you wouldn't understand how happy I am right now. This past season was stellar from beginning to end and was on par with the amazing first season. I'm hearing that my babe Adrianne Palicki (Tyra) will not be a "regular" next season, which will be a total bummer if true.

Taylor Kitsch is reason enough for you to start watching this excellent show.









Now if only Dollhouse and Reaper could follow the same fate. I guess that'd be asking for too much.
