The Television Critics Association named Austin-filmed “Friday Night Lights” Program of the Year at its 2011 Awards ceremony in Beverly Hills, California on Saturday. The departing DirecTV/NBC family football drama, which ended its five-season run July 15, beat out HBO newcomers “Boardwalk Empire” and “Game of Thrones” as well as “Justified” (FX) and “Parks and Recreation” (NBC) to take the top honor. Executive Producer Peter Berg told critics gathered at an earlier TCA panel that he is writing a feature film script for “FNL” in the hopes that stars Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler will reprise their roles as Tami and Coach Eric Taylor.
