Friday Night Light Benches Two Players.

Well if you weren’t already aware our beloved Friday Night Lights WAS picked up next season…so why the RIP sign?  Well turns out Smash and Jason won’t be a part of that next season. Well at least as regulars.  *Pause for crying and sighing*.  Smash is one of my favorite characters and the show will most def. miss him.  Clearly we knew after this season he would be leaving to go to college but I dunno I didn’t think he would be downgraded to just a recurring star.  Jason will be too busy taking care of his pregnant girlfriend waitress.

Goodbye Smash and Street.  We will miss you.  Read more at Ausiellos new dwellings Entertainment Weekly

OMG OMG FNL RENEWED

I am FREAKING OUT over the news that FNL will most likely be renewed!!!!!!!Click here to read more!

CLEAR EYES FULL HEARTS CANT LOOSE!!!

Keep the Lights on!

Usually Kristin posts stuff on FNL, but as I can post at work with somewhat less worry of getting caught than she, this one is all me!  But I must cut and paste the IM convo that led to this:

Kristin: OMG OMG OMG
Kristin: please tell me you can post
Kristin: THANK YOU
Kristin: AHHHH
Kristin: fingers crossed!

What is the excitement about you may ask?  Well . . . FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS MAY LIVE ON!!!!  Watch with Kristin and Variety are both reporting that NBC is “currently talking to various networks about the idea of sharing the show’s third season among more than one channel in an effort to save the series from cancellation and broaden its audience.”

The channels they are talking about include the CW, TNT, DirecTV, and few others.

Variety reports, “Just how the shared window plan would work is unclear, but one model may be the plan NBC worked out for “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.” Starting this season, episodes of “CI” premiered on USA Network and aired a few months later on NBC.”

Yay!!!! Keep the lights on!! Keep signing the petition and make sure this happens!!

Best of Spoiler Ask

Except…no Spoiler chat this week? What? But there were some great little tidbits in Ask Ausiello.

Question: Kind of going crazy here. Can you find out what the deal is with Prison Break? The season finale aired Monday, and there seems to be some confusion as to whether or not it’s ever coming back. — Mike
Ausiello: Much to my surprise, I’m hearing a fourth season is pretty much a lock. Go figure.

Kristin: Well — I guess we will find out what happens to our boys. I hope its kinda a short season. We don’t want this show to end on a drawn out fourth season. Let’s wrap up this story and end it while it’s on top. eh?

Question: I love Gossip Girl! Is it coming back this fall? — Tammy
Ausiello: Try this summer. Although nothing’s official, I’m hearing the CW is strongly considering bringing the show back in July/August with an original run of episodes. And that’s in addition to the five new episodes we’re getting beginning April 21. For more on when (or if) your favorite shows are returning, see my Strike Recovery Chart.

Kristin: This summer? Huh? Are they trying to compete with the Olympics? Or did they just not order up any other shows for this summer because of the strike? Then again, The OC (sigh RIP) started in the summer and it kicked ass so who knows.

Question: How’s it looking for Friday Night Lights? — Kevin
Ausiello: Not great. NBC gaveTaylor Kitsch permission to take a major role in the forthcoming X-Men spin-off Wolverine, which essentially KO’s any chance the show had of coming back this season.

Kristin: WAAHHHHHH Did you guys sign the petition and send your lightbulbs yet?

Cute Article

So the New York Post has done this great little piece with some of our favorite TV writers rewriting the season finales of our favorite shows. Def. read the ones about The Office and FNL, they are hilarious.

Ben Silverman = BOO

So Ben Silverman who is Mr. PTB at NBC apparently had a run in with some guy from Radar Magazine…and then he published thier conversation. Unfortunetly it is not something we’d like to hear from the head honcho at NBC. Read Below

Radar: Quick question! A lot of us are happy that you’ve kept Friday Night Lights on the air despite lousy ratings. It’s totally the best show on TV. But is there going to be another season?
Silverman: Do you watch 30 Rock? That’s the best show on TV.

Not regularly. But what about FNL?
Start watching 30 Rock. It’s the best show on TV.

I don’t want to watch 30 Rock. I want to watch FNL. I love it.
I love it. You love it. Unfortunately, no one watches it. That’s the thing with shows. People have to watch them. We’re NBC, we have a reputation to uphold. And, man, with this writers’ strike … well, we’ll see what we can do. But start watching 30 Rock.

NOOOO, this can NOT be good news for us FNL lovers. If you don’t watch — start watching now, because if the last new episode of FNL that I see is this weeks finale, I will cry.

The At-Risk Youth – Friday Night Lights

So, I heard rumors from some of my favorite tv bloggers that tonights episode of FNL was a real tearjerker. Now let me preface this by saying — for those of you who read my blog already know this — I cry at the drop of a hat. So to read that other people were crying at this episode, well to say the least I put my comfy PJs on, got my yummy WW Cookie Dough Ice Cream sundae ready, and had the kleenex in hand. Let me tell you — it did NOT dissapoint. Read the recap after the jump! (PS is that not an awesome picture of Matt Saracen Zach Gilford)

The best of Spoiler Ask

Soo every Monday I read the Spoiler Chat over at Watch with Kristin and every Wednesday I read Ask Ausiello over at TV Guide. I thought it would be fun to just recap some of my favorite questions for you all to read. But I would totally recommend going and reading the whole posts themselves because there’s bound to be some questions on there that you have too! Also, cleary these are SPOILERS so read with caution

Id love to butter you some toast – Friday Night Lights

Jason Street is back on the show and he is having money troubles, he only has 8gs to his name and his car is gonna cost 4gs to fix. Buddy asks him if hes ever thought about selling cars. ut oh. Creepy dude finds Riggins at the store and he tells him that he misses him and then he kicks the crap out of him and says he has till the end of the week to tell him where his money is. The police show up at Smashs house and they are arresting him on assault charges. oh shit.

“I think Jesus is hot” Friday Night Lights

Ok i apologize for the super lateness of this recap, it was a busy weekend.

We begin with the Taylor’s contemplating on sending Gracey to daycare, and Carlotta telling Matt that she is going back to Guatemala because her family needs her for some unknown reason. Next we see Santiago (who for some weird reason i want to call Q…?) in the parking lot of the school with some random gangsta/homey whatever trying to get him to cut school — but in the end he gives him props for being on the football team and getting his life together, they will hang out later. Lyla is now a Christian Radio host with some cute guy who will totally want to hook up with her later for sure. Noelle wants Smash to have dinner with her parents (rut oh…). Santiago goes and meets up with his hoodlum gang and Buddy runs into them all and naively invites them all over to “hang out”. Come on.

Friday Night Lights — I don’t know if you would like it it’s very talky.

Last week was an amazing episode. Let’s see how this one pans out.

Smash gets visits from Alabama, Oklahoma Tech, Michigan, Georgia, which will he pick? Julie wakes up and Coach says its his fault and he shouldn’t have invited Riggins to stay in the house. Julie totally didn’t say anything to defend him — yet. I cant believe Coach wasn’t pissed that she was I dunno TRASHED isn’t she 15? Riggins was sleeping in the locker room and Coach is still giving him a hard time. AHHH someone tell him the truth!! Smash basically tells his mom that he will be making a verbal commitment sometime soon about college — when all she wants is for him to take his time. This boy is an idiot. He
is so naive. Aunt whatever passes her real estate license test. Hoorah. Riggins goes back to brothers house and he is gone and there is an eviction notice on the door. Oklahoma Tech totally corners Smash’s mom and Mrs. Coach saves her butt. Julie goes to confront Riggins and says shes sorry she didn’t tell Coach the truth (she doesn’t want him to know she was drunk) she also thanks him for basically keeping creepy English lit dude off her back.

Friday Night Lights is back

I don’t have to tell you how upset I am still that this show is on Fridays… Last night the FNL team was on fire with another amazing episode.

We start out with Riggins still living in the Taylor household (which I personally think is hilarious and genius). He offers to go get milk for the baby during a storm, when he runs into Julie who decides to go with him. They get to the store only to find out that the storm is intensifying and a tornado is on the way. Riggins totally played older brother to Julie (who is a bit less bratty now) and protected her from the storm. Because of the storm a neighbooring school does not have a practice field (or really a school to go to) so Dillion lets them come stay at their school and lets the football team practice with Dillion. This clearly causes tension and pranks and Coach Taylor totally kicked ass throughout the whole episode sticking up for his team. Meanwhile, Tyra and Landry are going thru the same ole “I love you Tyra” “But I have a reputation Landry” bullshit. Tyra goes to the dance with one of the other teams football players and Landry confronts here, she confesses shes never felt like this with any other person — but she needs time to think. Landry sticks up for himself and walks away. You are going to lose him girl!! Julie and Riggins continue their brother/sister relationship out to each and she totally catches Matt making out with the maid in the car. Can we say awkward? Greatest moment of the night tho — Julie drunk at a “non dance” party. A guy from her lit class comes and starts hitting on here, when Riggins walks up and calls the dude over to him “I am about one beer away from getting laid” Riggins totally lays it down and is all get the hell out of here don’t look at her blah blah and then he brings her drunk ass home — and while he is Coach totally catches him in a very suggestive position (trying to put julie in bed) annd he kicks him out.

Good Episode!!

I Heart Friday Night Lights

So we all know that I love FNL and the second season returns tomorrow night. I’m kinda shocked NBC isnt showing more faith in FNL by moving it to a differnet/better time now that they have Deal or No Deal on like 4 nights a week. There is nothing on TV anymore with the strike — why not put your BEST show on the network at a more favorable time. Sad.

Anyways, over at Watch with Kristin on E! there is a great article about the show and why you should all be watching it. PLEASE read it and I am telling you go to Target, buy the first season *seriously the WHOLE first season is 20 dollars and totally worth it* I PROMISE you will not regret it. Read the FNL Article after the jump.

Guess who I saw?

Project Runway:
So in this weeks episode the designers are asked to pick a fashion trend that is out of style and make it work in today’s fashion. But they are put into groups of three and are asked to incorporate all of the ideas into a cohesive pattern. I can’t decide what I think. I am glad that they are pushing these people into tough situations to see their creativity and stuff but these things just seem unrealistic. In the end the group that won incorporated Overalls, Poodle skirts, and 70’s flare into three really cute outfits. I was kinda surprised that Christian’s group didn’t win but meh. Christopher (the costume designer) is OUT. Next week looks kinda crazy

Dirty Sexy Money:
What an episode. The Brief synopsis goes like this. Simon Elder and Karen are still sleeping together but it turns out she is totally using him after her dad told her too —huh? But she is starting to fall for him ut oh. Juliet has a boyfriend who she wants to loose her virginity too and he has some sort of weird accent and I’m sure will hurt her in the long end. Carmalita thinks she is being followed and then ends up getting kidnapped hmm. Patrick pretty much looses his job and he decides to leave the church and work for his dad. Jeremy gets high with Nick’s wife, he kisses her, he confesses he was lying to his girl, she leaves him, and Nick’s wife gets fired from her job bc a giant sponge smells like pot HAHA. Then they watch the nutcracker.

Friday Night Lights
We open with Landry confessing that he killed the rapist guy, but not saying it was out of self defense – he is basically being a stubborn idiot saying he wanted him dead and not helping himself out at all. I do not get this. OMG Carlotta in bed with Matt and they are joking about it — this is kinda weird. Does anyone else thing baby Gracie is kinda weird looking? Asshole Julie is the Godmother, that’s nice –maybe she will stop being a little bitch now. Jason is back in this episode and he is going to try online dating. This Isabella girl looks just like Lyla — and when he gets a phone call for a date it’s right in front of Lyla, surprise surprise. Wow Rigggins roommate is a psycho stalker and eventually Riggins leaves and ends up camping outside of the Taylors home. Isabella and Jason have there date – she is totally fug – and “peeing” turns her on – some redheaded waitress helps Jason out and you know they are totally gonna hook up. In the meantime Santiago finally gets some sense knocked into him by Buddy Garrison and he kicks ass and practically wins the football game for the Panthers! Jason doesn’t come home from his wild hookup with the redheaded waitress and he tells his parents he is moving out. They have Gracie’s christening and Landry confesses that it was self defense *after Tyra tell him she was scarred for her life*, the police are not pressing charges. The End.

 

In other news cutie David Blue (aka Micheal’s boyfriend on Ugly Betty) was totally mugged this week! It was on Just Jared yesterday but TMZ picked it up today! Here is the link to his blog :

David Blue Myspace

Also in other news on the way to Mood last night me and a few friends def. saw Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and Penelope Cruz (ok so I didnt really see her but he paparazzo said that she was with them) coming out of a private party at Parc in Hollywood — I tried to take a photo but it’s just of their car. Still reallly cool. I don’t usually get that starstruck around people or do I really see that many stars out there but to see Tom Cruise & David Beckham earlier in the week and now these guys — I guess I really do live in LA.

Ugly Betty & Friday Night Lights

Soo Lindsay might have to help me on the Ugly Betty front, because I found myself reading the new Entertainment Weekly occasionally instead of watching the show.

Ugly Betty:
This week was about Caleb Nichol Bradford Meade having a heart attack and being stuck in the hospital unconscious. Betty goes to her office and we meet Monique L’Amanda who is the desk night weekend guard chick. Really? Betty has a weird trippy dream thing where she seems herself on the first day at mode and she realizes how screwed up shes become. She comes home and finds Claire Meade and her prison chick (seriously what do we call her?) and they decide Betty needs to sneak back into Mode to find out what the Will says. Betty reluctantly agrees — but only for Daniels sake, even tho he just fired her! Back at the hospital the tranny and Daniel are fighting over whether they want their father to live or die — its compelling television people, and alas Caleb/Bradford awakes to tell them to not fight yadda yadda. Betty tries to break into Mode but L’amanda won’t let her, so shes uses Henry to distract her yadda yadda they get caught when we see Marc & Whilimena also trying to read the will. It’s not in the vault, so they go to the secret sex chamber…and the next thing we know Bradford’s dead. Yeah I guess somewhere in between there is when I stopped watching sooo Lindsay help me out here. meh on the Ugly Betty front.
LB notes: It was an ok episode, I like any time they feature Clare Meade, shes nuts! So Monique/L’Amanda, not funny, seriously, what a waste of TV. And the Betty from the past was a poor way to make a good point – that Betty has changed somewhat. But honestly, would it have made Betty a better person to tell Daniel that Willie is cheating on his dad and leave HER dad to rot in Me-hi-co? Or to doublecross Willihiemena? i dont think so, so get over it old betty!
Clare Meade hiding in the closet was funny at first, but the prison accomplice has gone from kinda somewhat funny to stupid, i hope shes gone for good. Amanda had a nice little speech to Daniel about telling his dad he loves him, when did she grow some emotional deapth?!?
Kristin has the basic plot right – Willie cant inherit unless shes married to Bradford/Caleb (Cabford? hehe) – Marc has one of the funniest lines in the episode, “I’m gonna have to go back to dancing in a cage in my underwear!” hahaha. Willie decides to shanghai Bradford into a wedding (with Marc officiating, haha) but he realizes shes lying about the affair and kicks her out of the ICU. Betty goes to talk to him and he says he misses Clare, who Betty gets on the phone, and whoops Clare blows her cover and goes to speak to Bradford. Their scene was kinda touching, but eh. she gets manhandled out of the ICU by the police, Daniel and Alexis follow (anyone else miss the old scheming Alexis? the one who, though not literally, had some balls?) and Betty goes to sit with Bradford, who promptly dies, just after telling her to take care of Daniel. Boo Hoo, Alan Dale has 2 heart attacks on the books now (PS – he was on 2 episodes of Lost?!?). The show ends with Willie trying to bribe a young doc just out of med school, who obviously has loans (haha shout-out to the boyfriend!) to do something nefarious with Brad’s body. Like let her marry a corpse?!?! We shall see!
Next Week: Willie tries to take over Mode, obvi.

Friday Night Lights,
Yeaaaahhhheeeee hahah I love this show so much and I hope all 53 of you who read this blog yesterday are watching it to. This episode is all about Pantharama, a huge tradition that they apparently left out last year. woops. We open this episode with the brooding Tim Riggins leaving his house after seeing his good for nothing brother coming home with his next door neighbor who Tim used to sleep with. (Now doesn’t that sentence alone make you want to watch the show?) So Tim clearly has to go to his exgfs house to go stay with her and her stripper sister. Love it. Back at Dillion High School we find out that it is the first week of recruitment for the seniors which means a lot of schools are going to be looking out for Smash! We also see Landry telling Tyra that his father blew up his car, and there is a new teacher who looks just like Shane West and low and behold his name is Mr. Noah Barnett which alas Shanes name on ER was Dr. Ray Barnett. Come on people. Back to new English teacher — he is super young and is also the head of the Newspaper, which Julie works on, her assignment this week is to write an article about where all the money goes that is collected at Pantharama (I love when Coach reads it and he says something like “Coach Taylor did not comment –’She asked me when I was in the Bathroom!’) Clearly Julie is gonna develop something with this teacher dum dum dum. Speaking of relationships Matt and the new cheerleader are all sorts of PDA in the hallway which makes Julie all sad…Julie & Matt better get back together soon! In the meantime Santiago *you know the juvie that Lyla rescues that is now working at her fathers car dealership and is playing for the Panthers* turns out he is an orphan and so guess who he gets to move in with. You guesssed it Buddy Garrity, oh the joy this brings to my life. We get to Pantharama where the football players take off all their clothes (thanks to the entertainment department of Tyra & Lyla — I didn’t know Lyla was still in school hmm). Then the clincher — Nurse lady kisses Matt woaaaah. What’s with the older people inappropriateness in this town? Doesn’t matter I still love it. Next episode in two weeks!
Panther Pride!!

Thursday Night

Well I have caught up with my two missed shows from last night, but alas Ugly Betty will have to wait till tomorrow.  Which honestly I don’t even care because it’s been annoying the hell out of me lately anyways.  We will start from last night:

Pushing Daises:
Another cute episode with guest star Joel McHale from E!s the Soup! He played a dog breeder poisoned by one of his 4 wives. Although I adore Chuck & Neds love story, I feel like the fantastic Kristin Chenoweth and her Olive character steal every single scene. She has amazing timing, comic and sincere (can you have sincere timing? bc she does). But what the hell was up with the trippy dream theme today? First with Ned dreaming about Olive in a complete Chuck body suit uhh weird, and then Officer guy (what is his name again?) having those super trippy dreams about one of Joel McHales wives. Hey all you old Gilmore Girl fans, was that park scene at the end not totally stars hollow? Because it totally looked like it.

In other news for you Gilmore Girls, Michael Ausiello from TV Guide is reporting that Logan from GG is going to have a stint on Friday Night Lights!! eeeeaakk!! Exciting.

Kid Nation:
Wow so four of the people with Gold Stars have come from the Green team — interesting. Woah the kids are told to mix up the districts. I’m surprised they only took one kid from each group I thought that they were gonna mix them all up. Wow Laurel decided to keep her team the same. hahah Greg decided that “He may be blue but he’s sleeping with Yellow” Why does Greg want to sleep with Blaine so bad? Are we sensing something here? Wow the red team is soo bad at Guyland because he put Nathan on his team. I think its time for a re-election dum dum dum. Wow Nathan sings in his sleep hilarious. Now we see Hunter from GA who is this kid he’s on the green team apparently but I have no idea who he is. Mike has a bit of a revelation about how he shouldn’t pick on Nathan since he is always picked on. aww.  EW NATHAN WEARS CROCKS. The teams have an interesting challenge where they have to decide if they want to work for their district or for everyone all together. They finish in this order: Blue, Yellow, Green, and Red. The kids don’t win the reward again. Guyland decides to blame all the other teams for the loss and someone yells “Shut up GAYland” Kids can be cruel haha. So Sophia decides to say some sort of expletive towards him too bad they didn’t show it. More Hunter action are they setting him up for a gold star another one on green?  I don’t get this Greg kid, he’s such an asshole but then he has this weird sweet side too. The kids are voting for whom they want to win the gold star and they are all deciding between Blaine and Hunter — surprise surprise, who they have been focusing on this whole episode. Wow it is like survivor its starts to rain during tribal council whatever this meeting call thing is. Randi some random girl from Nevada decided to go home. Blaine wins the gold star this week after stepping out of the shadows of Greg. I think it’s about time a young kid wins the gold star. Woah and he gets a little back rub from Greg ah ha. Wow so next week we have re-election, should be interesting.

Survivor
we start with a wakeup call from James and a celebration about JR gone! Pei Gei is annoying again ohh back to her old self. Ew Courtney and Frosti again gross – isn’t she like forever and a year older then him? Wow great different challenge. The survivors have to bounce a ball off of drums thru an obstacle course. Not one ball but three. What’s with the school yard picks the past two weeks? Can’t someone give Amanda some bottoms so she’s not always blurred out? Amanda Frosti, Courtney and Erik win some food and a cruise. Why is Courtney so fing weird? Aww Frosti thinks that she is out of his league haha Erik is wooing Amanda with his goat impressions. Ooohh the Survivors are tempted with cheeseburgers and french-fries ahahha watching Courtney eat is hilarious. OK again totally called that PG would win that piece, if they send Erik home I will be totally sad. Ok so WOAH frosti was voted off which sucks bc I thought he was great but I really likes Eric too so I dunno how I feel about this. Ok so it looks like there is a double elimination next week and in the previews the two people we didn’t see were Courtney Denise or Amanda sooo one of them might be gone? Good Episode.

The Office:
It’s with a heavy heart that I watch this, the last episode of The Office till the strike is over. Love the opening sequence of Pam interrupting Michael with sticky notes with nothing on them.  Jan is suing the company because of her fake boobs. Love it. For FOUR Million Dollars! Woaah Darrel and Jim playing ping pong. “I don’t talk trash, I talk smack” Oh Kelly Kapur you are amazing. AHAHAH TOBY is totally at Jan’s deposition and I love him. Ahh and then Michael totally screwed Jan over by saying that their relationship started two years ago when she kissed him. Glorious. Wow Jim is brilliant in his “we have a new client who is a ping pong player will you help me” lie to Jim. AHAH Michael has a diary and he wrote XOXO at the end of his entry. Oh yes Michael is mad at everyone else so he decided to eat lunch with Toby. Aww and Toby tries to tell Michael a story about his childhood trying to help him and instead Michael throws his tray on the floor. Another Amazing Moment: Michael writes that Ryan is hot in his diary, hence Toby cracking up in the middle of the deposition. Woah crazy serious ending to this portion of the show. Jan gave Michael a pretty awful review a month after they disclosed their relationship. Yikes. Wow Michael decided to back Dunder Mifflin and not Jan and Pam totally calls Kelly out to a ping pong match and they are both horrible. “You expect to get screwed by the company but you never expect to get screwed by your girlfriend”.  Poor Michael.  And this is how we end The Office on a decent but not great episode of The Office.  I wonder which shows they will repeat — maybe they can start from the very beginning? It’s a very good place to start.
