A new member of our TheTwoCents team, Regina will be submitting a weekly update of the hottest Friday Night Lights tidbits!! Enjoy!Our biggest news, of course, is that Friday Night Lights has just been renewed for a third season! I, for one, am highly relieved.

The show has a 13 episode order as of now, and NBC will begin airing it shortly after the Superbowl in 2009, in its same Friday night timeslot.
