'Friday Night Lights'
NBC has handed out renewals to a host of series for the 2008-09 season.
At a scheduling presentation in New York, the broadcaster confirmed that bubble shows Medium, Lipstick Jungle, Law & Order and spinoff Law & Order: SVU would all be returning. They join the previously announced renewals for key shows Heroes, Chuck and Life.
Returning comedies include 30 Rock, My Name Is Earl and The Office, alongside a new Office spinoff on Thursday nights.
Friday Night Lights will be back in February under a co-production deal with DirecTV, which gives the satellite operator the first-run rights to the new season from October.
Bionic Woman joins Las Vegas and Journeyman on the scrapheap, while Scrubs will end its run on NBC but make its long-anticipated move to ABC from the autumn.
