The Daily Beast: Friday Night Lights Deserves that Emmy Award
Posted by Amy with No Comments
FNL has always been denied the Emmy it richly deserves. Jace Lacob talks to its starring couple about their long-overdue nominations and the end of TV’s most criminally underrated show.
“It’s sort of like a marriage ended,” said Kyle Chandler, the star of DirecTV/NBC’s drama series Friday Night Lights, which returns for its fifth and final season this fall. “When Connie’s around, when the crew is around, the family is all together… That’s just the way it is.”The Connie in question would be Chandler’s on-screen wife, Connie Britton, who, like Chandler, is nominated for an Emmy Award for her work on the emotionally resonant Friday Night Lights, which has been perpetually snubbed by the populist Television Academy, despite the fact that it’s been lauded by AFI, the Television Critics Association, and the WGA. The duo play Eric and Tami Taylor, a typical couple with typical problems whose marriage might be the one constant—besides football season—in the small town of Dillon, Texas.

EW Exclusive: The ‘Friday Night Lights’ ending you WON’T see
Posted by Amy with No Comments
Even in its series finale, Friday Night Lights tried to score one more touchdown. The drama—which kicks off its fifth and final season on DirecTV on Oct. 27—attempted to draft Billy Bob Thornton to reprise his role of Coach Gary Gaines from the feature film on which the TV show is based.

The Washington Post Chats with Emmy Nominee Connie Britton
Posted by Kaitlin with No Comments
Connie Britton’s days as Tami Taylor — the smart, spirited and perpetually level-headed mother and wife of Coach Eric Taylor on “Friday Night Lights” — aren’t just numbered. They’re over.
Last month, Britton and the rest of the “FNL” cast and crew wrapped production on the high school football drama’s fifth and final season, to air beginning in October on DirecTV and next year on NBC.
But Britton still has plenty to look forward to, most notablySunday’s Emmy Awards, where she and her television husband,Kyle Chandler, are both nominated (finally) for their performances on the series.
Britton recently telephoned from New York to talk about that nomination, saying goodbye to “Lights” life and her plans to work with Chandler in the future.
Now that you’ve had a little bit of time for the Emmy nomination to sink in, how are you feeling?
Connie Britton: I’m still feeling just stunned and really honored by it. I still can’t quite believe it. And mostly, I’m just so thrilled because it’s such an acknowledgment of the show. We’ve been sort of percolating along, doing this show that we love all these years and have had really nice responses from critics, et cetera. So the fact that now it’s been honored in this way is like — oh, that’s so nice.

Charlie Quary (Andre Merriweather) Is Sad to See FNL Go
Posted by Kaitlin with No Comments
Parting is such sweet sorrow for 12-year-old Victoria resident Charlie Quary, who recently finished filming the fifth and final season of NBC’s critically acclaimed football television drama “Friday Night Lights.”
Filmed in Austin, “Lights” is produced by Emmy Award-winner Peter Berg, who also directed the feature film of the same name. The show is based in the fictional town of Dillon, Texas and attempts to illustrate the grand and complex role high school football plays in small towns across the U.S.
For the past two seasons, Charlie played Andre Merriweather, one of Vernon Merriweather’s (Steve Harris) three sons.
While in character, Charlie said he “had to be the most mature brother,” but during periods of downtime, he allowed himself to be silly and less adult the with other kids on set.
“The three brothers worked really well together and we spent a lot of time in the trailer,” Charlie said. “We would sometimes shoot five hours per day and go back to the hotel and hang out.”
