Season Three of Friday Night Lights has just begun on NBC. But will there be a Season Four? With this show, you constantly have to wonder. Well, Michael Ausiello of EW has this encouraging tidbit in his column today:

Q: Please tell me that Friday Night Lights will be back next season.

A: Friday Night Lights will be back provided all (or most) of the 4.6 million people that tuned in for last Friday's season premiere on NBC, "I Knew You When" stick around for the entire season. And they'd be fools not to.

Amen.
