The New York Post carried a report yesterday that Friday Night Lights will indeed be back:

FNL will return for a third year on NBC after the 13 new episodes have aired on satellite-television provider DirecTV, NBC announced today. The one-year deal allows NBC and DirecTV to share the production costs in order to keep the show on the air.

Don't set your DVRs just yet: The series will run weekly on DirecTV's entertainment channel (The 101) beginning Oct. 1, moving to NBC in early 2009.

My Name is Earl kicks off again tonight with a one-hour episode featuring Paris Hilton. And, hey, you might want to tune in spite of that fact--Alyssa Milano's back.
NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker gives a recap of the pre-strike season here.

It's three more seemingly interminable weeks until LOST returns for the five remaining episodes of Season 4.

Meanwhile, here are a couple of things to get you through the wait.

First, EW.com's Doc Jensen (who was traveling when Ep 8 aired a couple of weeks ago) is back with his take on "Meet Kevin Johnson." He also rates the S4 eps so far, with "The Constant" coming out as his maybe-best-ever fave, and "The Other Woman" as, well, not.

Then, thanks to the Doc's recommendation, we have discovered another excellent LOST blog, this one from J. Wood on Powells.com.

Have fun!
