Friday Night Lights: Julie’s Hot for Austin Nichols’ Teacher!

TVGuide.com: Knowing going in how “out there” John from Cincinnati was, were you surprised at all by its cancellation?
Nichols: I wasn’t surprised. I actually sort of predicted what the response would be. I always knew that people were going to have a hard time understanding it but they were going to love it anyway. Everybody that comes to me up on the street says exactly that, I don’t get it but I love it, man.

TVGuide.com: I know people who were stupefied that it was taken off the air, and not given a better chance.
Nichols: Just yesterday I was in the drug store and some guy was like, “Dude, what happened?! It was the best show! In the end, [series creator] David Milch just had a blank check, we spent so much money and time doing it, they couldn’t justify keeping t on the air. If they spend that much money, they want it to be their No. 1 hit, like a Sopranos.
