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:
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Fine vapors escape from whatever is doing the living.
The night is cold and delicate and full of angels
Pounding down the living. The factories are all lit up,
The chime goes unheard.
We are together at last, though far apart.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“To motorists bound to or from the Jersey shore, Perth Amboy consists of five traffic lights that sometimes tie up week-end traffic for miles. While cars creep along or come to a prolonged halt, drivers lean out to discuss with each other this red menace to freedom of the road.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
