friday night lights

last year, at the end of the season, the tv show Jericho was getting cancelled. The last words in the last episode were something involving nuts. So the Jericho fanbase, in protest, sent an enormous amount of nuts to the house of Ben Silverman, the head of NBC, and he agreed to allow the show to stay on for another six episodes but said that it must improve ratings.
In my opinion, Jericho is a much less worthy cause than Friday Night Lights, which is critically adored and has a solid fanbase but simply doesn't get astronomical ratings. So the same kind of thing is happening with this show now. The television show Best Week Ever on VH1 (is VH1 owned by nbc?) is launching a campaign
to save the show, by sending huge amounts of lightbulbs to the network. Hopefully it works! This is a show worth saving, if you haven't seen it you should probably think about watching it.
