Do You Think It's Time For Friday Night Lights to End?
It's the end of an era: The Ausiello Report has confirmed that beloved drama Friday Night Lights will end after its fifth season. On the positive side, though the show ended its fourth season last night on DirecTV, we won't even see a premiere of it on NBC until April 30. That means we still have a while before the fifth season begins, and will be able to give the Panthers a fitting good-bye.

What Is the Best Network Drama of 2009?
You've already told me about the network comedy that keeps you laughing (and TiVoing) merrily, but now I want to move onto a more serious subject: drama. These amazing programs showcased some great acting, twisty plots, and powerhouse storylines this year. Which one is your favorite?
Which Couple Has the Best TV Romance of 2009?
It's been a big year for commitment: Jim and Pam tied the knot, Chuck finally said the "L" word, even Turtle got a girlfriend. Sure, these couples had their share of obstacles (er, like being a vampire, perhaps), but they still made me swoon week after week. Do you have a favorite?

TCA Tidbits: NBC Talks Southland, Chuck, Heroes, and More
With Ben Silverman leaving NBC earlier this Summer, reporters were bound to be a little chippy at NBC's executive session today at the TCA press tour. There were plenty of questions about how NBC's entertainment president, Angela Bromstad, would define NBC's brand (apparently it includes Heroes, The Office, and The Apprentice equally?), but we also got some concrete info about shows like Southland and Friday Night Lights. Some details:
- Bromstad said Southland "tried to do too much" in its first six episodes and became too serialized.

Watching Mindy Collette and Billy Riggins plan their wedding was always an amusing side plot on this season of Friday Night Lights. Some of you even said it could be the best of all of this year's TV engagements (that bar proposal is pretty hard to beat).
So, as wedding season continues here on Sugar, I wanted to share a couple of my favorite scenes from Billy and Mindy's planning process.
Friday Night Lights: Five Hopes For Season Four
