Save Friday Night Lights!


As we all (or at least those reading this blog) know by now: Friday Night Lights is in trouble. The big guys at NBC (and I mean you, Ben Silverman) don't have much faith in the show, and it's on the chopping block for next season. 

It's time for us fans to band together to save this gem. The louder and more obnoxious we get, the bigger chance our message will penetrate the thick skulls of ratings-hungry execs who haven't grasped how amazing FNL is. 

The "Save FNL" campaign has already begun.  Check out Save Friday Night Lights and Keep The Lights On to see how you can do your part - one light bulb and mini-football at a time. 

And for some inspiration, here's a list of great campaigns to save TV shows:

1) "Jericho" fans successfully saved their show by sending thousands of pounds of nuts to CBS. 

2) "Roswell" fans resurrected their alien drama twice by mailing in thousands of bottles of 
Tabasco sauce, an alien fave. 

3) "Everwood" fans commemorated their prematurely canceled show by erecting a Ferris Wheel in Burbank. Now that's dedication! 

4) "Veronica Mars" groupies hired a plane to fly over Los Angeles toting the message "Renew Veronica Mars! CW 2006!" 

5) "Angel" devotees fought for their show by raising money and hype long after star David Boreanaz turned in his fangs.
