Friday Night Lights (season 2)
The second season of the American serial drama television series Friday Night Lights commenced airing in the United States and Canada on October 5, 2007 and concluded its 15-episode season on February 7, 2008. While initially renewed for a 22-episode full season, the show ended production for the season after filming of the 15th episode due to the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike. Its future was once again in doubt as it did not return to production once the strike ended and continued to suffer from low ratings in its new Friday at 9:00PM time slot. However, NBC announced in April 2008 that the show would return for a 3rd season with first-run broadcasts airing on DirecTV's The 101.
The season continued to focus around the Dillon Panthers as the pressures and challenges on and off the field reached new highs after the team won the 2006 Texas 5A State Championship and lost head coach Eric Taylor to a new college job at TMU.

Famous quotes containing the words friday, night and/or lights:
“This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The night is itself sleep
And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Y’know scientists are funny. We probe and measure and dissect. Invent lights without heat, weigh a caterpillar’s eyebrow. But when it comes to really important things we’re as stupid as the caveman.... Like love. Makes the world go ‘round, but what do we know about it? Is it a fact? Is it chemistry? Electricity?”
—Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Helen Dobson (Lori Nelson)
