Show Summary

  • Ended

In the small town of Dillon, Texas, football is everything. The team to beat is the Panthers, who are coached by newbie Eric Taylor. Coming back after winning the State Championship, the Panthers will need all the help they can get once the next football season arrives, amidst all the personal dramas and injuries. This series is based on the book and movie Friday Night Lights. Season two of Friday Night Lights was cut from twenty two to just fifteen completed episodes because of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. In order to save the show and produce a new season, DirecTV stepped up and will air new episodes of season three on DirecTV's "The 101" during the fall, and then they will premiere during the winter on NBC. Both seasons can be found on DVD, as well as repeats on Bravo.

    This is probablly one of the best shows i've ever watched, i finished all 5 seasons in about a month and i just could stop watching it. Good show

  • When this show ended, I lost myself for a bit. I'm back now but I still look back on those days of marathoning seasons in a single day.

    This was one of those tv shows to me that never really caught my eye until I was bored. And I am so glad that I actually found it now when it was about to end because, i was able to stay home for days and just watch episode after episode and not have to wait. It was so good. I loved every character and cared for each one as if they were my family. I have shed tears for them, and I have shared laughs with them. I got very emotionally involved. Even when the main characters graduated from Dillion, they were still there partially, and new main cast also does the same in capturing my heart.
    Coach Taylor, Kyle Chandler, is someone every man can look up to and aspire to be like. With his in show wife, Tami Taylor, they make a powerhouse couple.moreless

    I first watched the movie in 2005 it was OK but was not amazing. When i heard that they where making a show based on the movie i wasn't super excited about it. One day i seen it on ITV 4 it was great after a few episodes your completly hooked. The show is Defo A+ i love it. All the actors are great and the writing just cant get better. It's hard to say how good it is its just perfect really. I really hope NBC does not cancel this hidden gem PLZ PLZ watch its superb LOVE IT my new fave show.
