Exclusive: 'Friday Night Lights' Cuts Two Players

The first season was outstanding, and the second season was almost as good. I definitely think the show should focus more on Matt being the main character rather than Tim Riggins. I would of liked to see Jason Street be incorporated into the show as a coach or perhaps as a counselor of some sort. I know it would be unrealistic, but it would of been nice to see a miracle and see him walk again.

ok thats fine, totally legit even though i love the characters. but how come they offer no explanation for why tim, tyra and lyla are still in high school.as i understand they were seniors in the first season!!tim can be explained by saying he’s…well, not so good with the education. but two years he got held back? and tyra, also not miss straight A’s until recently but still, two years?!?! the most mysterious is lyla.there is no reason why she is still in high school two years after her senior year. do they go to school in i dunno…dillon, texas in england? its weird esp when jason and smash seem to have graduated in a timely manner and concern is expressed about the realism of smash staying around the high school scene. oh…and i forgot about saracen.yeah last season was his senior yr right?so he stayed an extra year too?the school system is really suffering in dillon. julie’s the only one who is supposed to be in school. if am completely wrong here can anyone clear it up?

Well, just saw episode 1 from 3rd season and I don’t understand just what happened. There’s a tremendous gap between season 2 and 3. And there are guys and histories that just have disappeared, like Santiago. But most important, how did the Panthers ended the football season at the end of season 2?? Season 3 doesn’t start at the end of season 2. Very disappointed.

to be fair ok tim n lyla shud go but wat abt 7 his life is so unfaire and now he has to del wit the new kid in the block who can throw a ball like forever n straight come-on gv the kid a break takin care of his grandmo… n stuff studyin plus fixin everythin jeeeeez

I totally understand that the boys have graduated, and think they need to move on. I can see how they are playing that with Smash, but yet this season on regular tv, have not seen Jason. I thought for sure we would see him in the first episode-3rd season as to what happen with him as a soon to be dad… maybe. I am perplexed as the other commenter, I thought that Lyla, Tyra and Tim were all the same age as Smash and Jason, I have all the season on DVD, and watched them many times… still wondering. Oh well, I don’t mind looking at Tim at all. I say, keep it real… if you graduate and move on, you move on, if your home for break, or a holiday, see them come back for a game or a reunion, but dont force the characters into the plot that makes it weird, and this show is one of the best shows I have ever seen because of how ‘real’ they make it feel…..:) Keep it going Pete!!!
