NBC’s season debut of “Friday Night Lights” gave the network its biggest audience in the time period in four weeks and its strongest rating among viewers 18-49 in three months, E! Online reports. The season opener, new for broadcast after the season finished its run on DirecTV, scored a 1.6 rating in the demographic and drew 4.6 million viewers, both up from last week’s episode of “Lipstick Jungle” in the time period, the site says.
