Friday Night Lights

Soon, Friday Night Lights and most other shows will go into repeats or hiatus until Hollywood's labor disputes end. How soon? That depends on how the networks play December, typically a month of few viewers and many repeats.

Airing more repeats than usual would take most prime-time series into January, at best. The Los Angeles Times reports that amidst the Writers Guild of America strike, 15 of 22 Friday Night Lights episodes - more than most series expect to complete - will be finished when production shuts down. Stay tuned.
