Friday Night Lights Hoping To Score On The Small Screen


After making over $61-million worldwide, Friday Night Lights director Peter Berg is bringing Texas football to television.

NBC has signed on for a Fall 2006 episodic series about football in Odessa. According to reports in Variety magazine, unlike the movie, which focused on Odessa Permian's 1988 season, the TV series will be set in the present day.

Here's hoping that the television series isn't a flop, like most movie sequels are.

I for one believe that the movie was done perfectly, and perfection shouldn't be touched for the sake of making more money.
