Good News for Tues

Given that it's a light TV night, I was tempted to call this installment of Mile-a-Minute Comments "Two-sday Night TV." But I'll pass. Instead, 60 words each per show:
Friday Night Lights: Know what’s great about this show? Everything. And it’s been picked up for a full season. Kudos to NBC for at least guaranteeing a terrific DVD set. As for finding an audience, how about a timeslot switch? FNL and Studio 60 both take place on Friday night – I say air them then, as the traditionally weak evening would mean lesser pressure.
Veronica Mars: The kids at Hearst College got a slight extension, as The CW ordered three more episodes. Good news, but a full thirteen would be better. Frankly, what are they waiting for? It’s not as if the offspring of The WB and UPN is sitting on a stockpile of terrific television – Mars is a critical and cult hit; stick with it.
