| 2010 | Won | AFI Award |
TV Program of the Year Michael Waxman Nan Bernstein Freed Ron Fitzgerald FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS goes deep, always, and scores again this year. The show remains true to its game plan, capturing the essence of small town America with honest performances and an outstanding ensemble that audiences cheer for with more emotion each passing season. Particularly this year, when Peter Berg's show found a second life on a satellite cable service, the theme of the "underdog" became even stronger for the people of Dillon, Texas, where life is lived in the margins, where silence speaks eloquently of dreams deferred and where victory isn't necessarily winning the game - it's just being able to play. |
| 2008 | Won | AFI Award |
TV Program of the Year FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS scored another winning season in 2007. Hard-hitting and heartfelt, the show brings audiences together at the big game to explore issues of family, friends and faith. Each week is a celebration of small-town Texas truth, a paean to the hopes and dreams of a community that reaches for more. And each episode is a verse in an epic poem about America, its citizens driven to tackle their differences aglow in the lights of a national pastime. |
| 2007 | Won | AFI Award |
TV Program of the Year FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS is a celebration of America - its hopes and dreams, its heart and its heartland. Rare is the show that presents family and faith in such an authentic way - rich with emotion and illuminated by the pulse-quickening thrill of football. Peter Berg's small town tale is one with community at its core, but universal in scope - the struggle of winning and losing, the drive to reach for more and the challenge of seeing a future beyond the glare of Friday night's lights. |
