The full and final season of Friday Night Lights, one of the greatest shows ever to air on television, is out on DVD today and you will want to add this to your collection because even though lights went out in Dillon they can be on every night including Friday! The final season of the Emmy nominated show is an emotional one, but one you will want to experience over and over again.
Remember when you were in high school and looked forward every week to the big game, that is the feeling this show helped you relive. So why not live it again any time you want with this DVD Box set? The fifth and final season of FNL focuses on Coach Taylor, his family’s struggles and his team, their struggles and their families and the struggles they are having with them. But at the end of the day the struggles go away and it ends with “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose!”
The one thing that made this show the success it was and the love that it earned, was how real it was. It wasn’t only only about football, it was a touchdown when it came to dealing with real life situations. The show came in as Panther and ended as a Lion.
There is so much that happens in this season, that I don’t want to spoil it for you who don’t get DirectTV and are waiting to catch it on NBC starting next Friday. But what I will tell you is that almost all of the show’s originals come back for the final episodes of the show. And when the show ends, you will have satisfaction on how their lives will turn out. Some you will see coming and others will surprise you, but none of them will disappoint.
And something else that will not disappoint is the special features that you get with the DVD that you don’t get by watching the show on TV.

Featurette “The Lights Go Out†as the cast and crew say goodbye
Two commentaries, one with director Michael Waxman on “Don’t Go†and one with executive producer and showrunner Jason Katims on “Always.â€
I can’t tell you how awesome it was to sit there and listen to Jason Katims describe working on the final episode of the show. It is the best feature on this DVD, but the deleted scenes were also engaging to watch and some real emotional moments that sadly didn’t make the show but you can see them only on the DVD.
So don’t fumble on owning the DVD for the final season of one of the best shows that ever aired on television today!
