message: Is it worth mentioning that NBC made the brilliant decision to air a football show against Monday Night Football (an American Football institution!) and against the World Series (yet another American sports institution)? Would it not stand to reason that doing so would adversely effect the ratings? I don't know if this belongs on the main page. 128.195.111.164 12:39, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The team played my high school on the 5th episode. The maroon team they placed is an exact replica of the A&M Consolidated High School. Uniforms looks the same... they're the tigers... even the mascot shown briefly is EXACTLY the same. It's probably worth noting how these teams are modeled around real teams. :)--CountCrazy007 08:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not going to change it, but could someone justify why Texas Monthly's negative review is notable to the point where it deserves a specific mention? Texas Monthly is not exactly the New York Times. The AFI, on the other hand, has legitimate prestige, although the deservedness of that prestige might be up for debate.
Considering Texas Monthly has a circulation of 300,00 with nearly 2.5 million readers, I'd think it bears some importance, especially considering it's the only review in the article from a publication that is from Texas... To tough to die 21:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I just deleted the following: "Matt Saracen and Smash Williams wear the numbers 7 and 20, respectively, as do Chad Henne and Mike Hart of the University of Michigan." A cute coincidence, but barring any evidence that it's anything more than a coincidence, it shouldn't be on the page.--Eirishis 16:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Are we sure that it's "Your Hand in Mine"? I have that song, and I just don't hear it in the theme music. They're both in 3/4 time, but that strikes me as the only similarity. Bdure 02:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spoiler tags? 

message: I recently revised the order of the article and began a rewriting process that I hope to complete for the entire article when I have some time. The differences can be seen in the history. These changes were reverted though and I would like to discuss the direction that this article should take. As I said to ThomasC on his talk page, I would like to see this article resemble Lost. I also feel the prose needs help in a number of areas. Any input is more than welcome. SorryGuy 07:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent revisions 

message: I disagree with the edit summary that the information in the lead as a fourth paragraph is properly sourced. As it stands, the article is from a source that may or may not be reliable. Besides that, the title is misattributed and source would seem to be editorializing. Personally, I am not confident about renewable based on the comments made, but that is my opinion. Saying that he indicated cancellation in that reference seems like original research to me. I think until we have actual confirmation, we should remove the speculation, or at least make the unclear nature of show's faith more clear. SorryGuy  Talk  06:05, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Lead information

message: I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of February 26, 2008, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: The article is pretty legnthy which raises some boredom concerns, however, the content is factual and well composed.
:2. Factually accurate?: I have found no incorrect references to indicate any information is fradulent.
:3. Broad in coverage?: As said above, the article is very lengthy and seems to cover all aspects.
:4. Neutral point of view?: The article is written from a neutral point of view, and does not seem to have any indication of being biased in any section of the article.
:5. Article stability? There are some issues in this department, which could have made the article fail. Some issues have been raised with attempted images and other information, however, the latest argument was early in 2007.
:6. Images?: The article sees to have good images to support the subject, and they have all passed copyright issues. 
  If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.</div>Happy Editing, Dustitalk to me 19:38, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: "When the season opens both characters [Smash and Riggins] despise each other but as it progresses they become more and more dependent on each other eventually forming a friendship. In doing so they realize that they aren't as different as they had once thought."
I know this whole idea sounds nice, but while I do recall the two characters growing friendly, I don't recall any significant on-screen moments in which Season One has them realizing "they aren't as different as they once thought." While it's a well-worded section, I think that claims such as these should have citations to support them in the interests of accuracy (as with sections in other TV articles like the one for 24). There are certainly some episode guides out there that should be able to provide the necessary references. --James26 (talk) 22:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds fine. If you would be willing to write more through and neutral plot summaries, have at it. I have never really like the plot outlines, with one of them being my writing. It simply is not my thing. But if it is yours, please do have a go of it. Cheers, SorryGuy  Talk  00:28, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Okay, I just confirmed, using the same sourcehttp://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/02/10/friday-night-lights-to-end/ used to verify that the show will end after Season Five, that is it in fact Season Four airing Spring 2010 on NBC, that Season Five will begin shooting this summer (Summer 2010), and then air that fall on DirecTV and spring on NBC, after which the series will end.

message: Does there really need to be an "as of today" donations update in this article? It doesn't really have anything to do with the show and we don't know when the author who contribute it wrote it so "as of today" could have been a year ago, unless whoever wrote it is so obsessed with their donation campaign they really are updating this page every single day. 68.229.185.85 (talk) 23:41, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The "Filming" section states that the show is "mostly improvised."  This is not true.  Improvised moments often make the final cut, but the show is mostly scripted.  NSpector (talk) 17:07, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mostly Improvised? 

message: Although I don't know this for a fact (if I knew it for a fact I'd edit the article rather than post here); but the article says Season Five, not Season Four, is airing on NBC this April (2010).  That seems highly unlikely to me:
1) It would mean that they made two seasons this year (not out of the question, as seasons are only half length, but doubtful).
2) It would mean that Season Four would never air on NBC and Season Five would never air on DirecTV, which would defeat the purpose of their agreement to share the show and production costs, as DirecTV wanted customers who wanted to see the show ASAP and without commercials while NBC would still have a large contingent who hadn't seen the show on DirecTV as viewers.  Otherwise Season Five would never air on DirecTV and confuse NBC viewers who hadn't seen Season Four.
Unless someone can prove definitively otherwise, I'm virtually certain that Season Four will be airing on NBC in April 2010; and then Season Five would air on DirecTV in Fall 2010 and then on NBC in Spring 2011.
Unless someone can confirm conclusively it's Season Five being aired this spring, the article needs modification. Niria1 (talk) 18:23, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I believe List of awards and nominations received by Friday Night Lights should be merged into this article. It seems superfluous to have an entire article dedicated to the awards received by a single TV show.  Jmajeremy (talk) 02:49, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Dillon is a ghost town in Hopkins County, Texas, located 30 miles east of Miller Grove near Saltillo, Texas. The town was named after E. F. Dillon, who started operating the post office in his store in 1901. The post office closed in 1906, and in the mid-1930s the town disappeared from highway maps.
