I soooo wish I had Direct TV!!
ME TOO!!
I sooooooo wish I had the internet……. oh, wait. Okey, dokey, next Wednesday it is!
Why don’t you? DirecTV rules!
so Billy’s going to coach, Vince and the other guy get along, Landry’s out, and Julie is the focus of the show? Interesting…
Does Julie sleep with Landry?
I think I’m gonna be sick…..
It honestly wouldn’t surprise me.
i still dont get why they are getting ride of Landry….Its the last season really couldnt just keep one of the original around for the whole season?
Because considering he was driving in season 1, Landry has already been in high school 6 years.
and he is suppose to be like super smart.
Where is tim riggins!!!!
i know he is in jail but is he going to be there all season
Riggins will be on the last few shows before the end. Most everyone will be back at least once except Lila.
Are they going to show the episodes on NBC later on?? I’ll die if not!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, they are, but not for a while.
I cant wait!!!
So Sad it is almost over. Thank god for the bootleggers that will allow me to see it next week=)
I love this show! I am sad this will be the last season. It better come to NBC soon. It is too bad it isn’t more popular!
So sucks that Family cancelled the reruns, they moved it from 6 PM to 11 AM with no announcement, then cancelled it because no one was watching. NO ONE COULD FIND IT!
I was so bummed! I really enjoyed starting from the beginning to get me through until the new season re-airs on NBC.
Will the new season be on the internet? I don’t have direct tv either-apartment complex only allows cable-so I can’t see the new season unless it os on dtv or nbc. That sucks!!!
Do I smell a Dazed and Confused homage? I hope so. Maybe? Just a little? Please?
I always thought that Lance was the same age as Julie….at least one year younger than Matt. So he said it was his last night which means he graduated with Julie so why wouldn’t he still be around?
HA. Lance! Love it…
Seeing the final season in that promo killed me. I don’t want the show to end.
