Keep the Friday Night Lights On!

 fridaynighlightbulb_2.jpg

My favorite show Friday Night Lights is in real danger of cancellation.  Never a big ratings champ, it is nonetheless the 3rd most often tivo’ed show on television., and one of the best shows on broadcast tv.   The Best Week Ever people have come up with the idea to mail a lightbulb to NBC President Ben Silverman and write Save Friday Night Lights on the side of it which I plan to do tomorrow and mail it right off.  If you want to help, here’s the address:

Ben Silverman
c/o NBC Studios
3000 W. Alameda Ave.
Burbank, CA. 91523

It might be a lost cause but I won’t quit without a fight!
